THE RAPIDSHARE MESS - DAY 4

There have been plenty of votes in favor of Zippyshare, let's try it with the Flying Color below
If you don't use JDownloader, if you don't have AdBlock Plus (with Firefox) installed, and if you're not familiar with ZS, here's a tuto

FLYING COLOR - FLYING COLOR (1987, Expanded 1996)
Flying Color's three mop-topped songwriters traded lead vocals and writing chores on their one and only album, a timeless tribute to ringing guitars. Probably even more derivative of the Byrds or Buffalo Springfield than the Mop Tops, Flying Color's perfect, guitar-based pop and harmonies marked a movement in rock that would take another ten years to take hold in the mainstream, but the album -- in particular the standout tracks "Dear Friend" and "Through Different Eyes" -- sounds just as vital as when it was released.

THE RAPIDSHARE MESS - DAY 3

1. RS has increased the free users bandwidth from 6 k/s to 12 k/s, too slow yet,

2. I've tried a few hosts through JDownloader (this way no popups), here are some notes concerning free users
  • Freakshare: Files deleted after 30 days of inactivity. Mandatory captcha / 100 seconds wait / download 300 k/s / 15 minutes wait before downloading anything else. MAYBE NOT
  • Zippyshare: Maximum Size 200mb. Files deleted after 30days of inactivity. Mandatory captcha / no wait / download 200-250 k/s / parallel downloads allowed. MAYBE YES
  • uploaded:  download 50 k/s. A lot of blogs are using it. Waiting time between 2 files is around 2 hours. Has failed once with JDownloader, then 3 hours waiting.for a new IP. NO
Tomorrow i'll try a few other hosts. Stay tuned.

THE RAPIDSHARE MESS - DAY 2

1. The new RS has deleted some links (IPO 3 (CD2), IPO 7 (CD3) & all of IPO 8) without any reason, so the mess goes on.
2. I've visited a bunch of hosts, most of them look like some pinballs with plenty of popups windows opening eveywhere, with some fake buttons trying to make you install whatever they want., so i'm still searching...
3. A huge "Thank You" to all of the PPC addicts who have posted a comment about the RS mess.

THE RAPIDSHARE MESS

So RS has changed again, from last friday free users bandwidth is limited to a lame 6 k/s !!!, it means it is almost impossible to grab anything unless you are incredibly patient or you get a Premium account (i guess that's what RS really wants, but certainly not me)



All the PPC stuff is hosted on RS, so until i have found a way to solve this or if RS changes again the free users options, at best there will be no new posts, at worse it will be the end of PPC.

HOOK HEAVEN ² (2007)
Some 18 months after the first volume (a two cd set, briefly available for the AWoS 2011, Day 15), Not Lame released the second "Hook Heaven", an over-filled collection with 22 amazing bands, 22 songs representing all the best cross-sections, variants of what constitutes great indie power pop.

Special note: This one was sent to PPC by "chorse" who made a pristine mp3 rip @320 with scans provided. Thanx for the great contribution.
