I've noticed this on demonoid and on pirate bay, what is the difference btw this and the download link? I am trying to download a specific album off TPB, and the download link doesn't work. When I download with the magnet link, I don't get any details in the torrent, can't choose tracks, and it shows up as 0 bytes in utorrent.

this nothing had to do with your questions, but why use public tracker when 2 giants music tracker are private?

Magnet links are a mere hash, and get the rest of the metadata via DHT (meaning you should have it enabled).

Maybe because he couldn't find the album on those two giants?

If you search "Mt Eden" on TPB, the first hit is Uploaded 11-21 2010, Size 157.94 MiB. I don't know if it's just me where it won't work, could anyone confirm whether it works for them? It's an unofficial bootleg so my hopes aren't high that I can get it elsewhere, except maybe track by track on soulseek.

Maybe it's just me but TPB is awfully slow.

It works for me. If you want I can re-upload the whole thing to Mediafire or just give you the .torrent file via PM.

It's not an album, but I guess someone could possibly use TPB and soulseek in conjunction. Regardless I have it now.
