Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 8:43 PM Since I began recording Loveline last July it has become a hobby for me to add to my Loveline "collection", I assume that I am not the only one who has quite a few shows, some I downloaded, and some are my original recordings. Since the time that SV added this forum to her site, we all have been able to establish a pretty stable community of Loveline fans, and I am happy to be able to share my collection with everyone else (actually one of the more influencing factors in why I record the shows), just as I am very appreciative of those who make their resources available to me...
This leads me to a request for everyone who reads this forum; if you have a bit of spare time, spare bandwith, or any other kind of useful input, I would like to ask you to please share it with this community. Even though there are at least 3 FTP's with shows available, I do feel that there is currently more demand than there is supply, and it seems the solution must be more contributors. The simplest way of giving back is sharing the files you have on p2p networks like WinMX and Kazaa, and I think that even a small amount of people starting to do this would make a huge difference. My friend who hosts my FTP on his cable has also begun to leave a connection to WinMX open most times with all of the FTP shows shared; and if a pretty good population of people on the p2p networks start to obtain and share the shows, this itself will offload a lot of the demand from 3 individual (and bandwith limited) connections.
Another thing that I noticed is we (as a community) are missing most of the shows from earlier than 2001/2002... It is understandable that further back airdates are harder to retain, but I imagine that there are people out there who have old shows either in digital format or on cassette tapes... Another great way to contribute would be to somehow get those shows into circulation. I personally only have good quality and complete shows starting from July 2002, and I hope someday that someone will share their quality recordings from years ago (I can dream can't I?)... I would love to do whatever is in my power to get people on their feet, and all it takes is e-mailing me... Thanks for reading this (those of you who actually read this far), and please consider my request! —Kevin U. |

Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 9:05 PM I know I speak for some when I say, thank you to all those that share and make shows, etc, available to others, for those (like me) that don't have many other means. I have uploaded what few things I have that I didn't notice on the other FTP's to trig's site and will continue to do so with anything I can get my hands on! —Logo Lou |

Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 10:48 PM I would also like to get more shows circulating. I have over 100 personally recorded shows at 128 kbps and they are rather large (about 113 MB). I don't have the patience to cut out the commercials in Goldwave or downsample but I like sharing them nonetheless. Kazaa seems to be better than WinMX at the moment as far as popularity goes. However, Bit Torrent looks promising as another P2P option. Anyone interested should check out http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ and http://www.dessent.net/btfaq/
. Basically you need a web site that has links with .torrent files (which are very small) and people download these and simultaneously share the file with others who are downloading the same file. It is a little more complex than Kazaa and WinMX initially but it might be worth a try. Whatever file swapping method is used, I think it's best to use only one or two so bandwidth isn't spread thin.

Monday, August 4, 2003 at 7:29 PM I never hear anyone on this board mention the Usenet newsgroups. Check out alt.binaries.great - #sterntuary posts the show practically in real time and Itj has it a day later commercial-free. Itj also posts old shows (recently circa 2001) commercial-free —mentos |
