Find another site that has over 7+ gigs of stuff available for download daily with very few dead links and can handle 7000+ visitors a day.
Good luck!
As for Shadow Zone... yes they update with a lot of tracks but they just throw up a listing - it's up to you to find the good stuff... Trust me, it would save me a SHITLOAD of time if I just got the new stuff daily, threw up a link to the filenames and didn't describe em/listen to them at all
Instead I go through the trouble of listening to all the shit before I find the good stuff to post
..this won't ever change, so get used to it.

the one thing i have against this site is that it is so slow.
going to a new thread takes forever to load.
and its because of people's signature files.
sig files aren't cool. i don't know who told you they are.

maybe thats something you do but nobody has to tell me something is cool for me to like it!
swamper this site rules but you know that yeah its slow at times. but shit, a month ago it wouldnt even be able to handle the amount of users that come on all at once now. and yeah sometimes it takes forever for pages to load but good shit is worth waiting for. this is a very informative site. or we wouldnt be coming here.
peace!

I heard someone say it was cool.. oh wait that was me...
P.S. Swamper you dont have to defend your site lol!!! IT KICKS ASSSSSS and you have the ta's for it.. And what was that saying again.. "goeie wijn behoeft geen krans"
Litteral translation: Good wine doesnt need a (eeh lemme think) award..
Hey Mark, No offense, but i have to disagree on the speed of this site. Opening a new thread may take ages on your system, but I haven't experienced any troubles so far... :-)
Swamper, Apreciate ur comment Not saying that i dont like the site, i woz just wonderin if there were some more like this one... ;-)

No worries...
The thing is... just because I don't update over a period of a few days doesn't mean I'm slacking off Managing all the servers, cycling files based upon server load so that they can handle the traffic, answering email - and looking for new shit to post eats up all of my time.
Not to mention the other crap i'm working on...thank god for partying every week, or else i'd just lose it

Ok everyone in my eyes (the DjTS site review):
TA - *****
We all know this one
Pros: The Best liveset site. Good singles. Good Reviews. A lot of effort gone in2 it. Good community.
Cons: Slow interface. Very nice link protection but getright dont catch the clicks, and the the window closes so i hafta go in and get the links manually.
Technodron - *****
On par with TA if not better. All thier stuff is hosted on 1 server. Which is very good.
Pros: Fast. Good Server. Great Music. Loads of Sections.
Cons: ??? No Real Community (growing_
ShadowZone - *****
Ok now i know u all hate this but this site is absolutely amazing. Really!
Pros: So much regular music (proper rels) on 4 mirrors at a time. They give u the whole vinyl/cd etc to listen 2 so u can find the best mixes.
Cons: Crappy EXE files 2 download. No comments.
MTP - ****
Good Music. Shitty Servers.
Pros: Fast. Great Music. Some Rare Livesets.
Cons: Shitty MyPlay as server. Filez split up in2 a million bits.
( I am helping MTP with the server part so they should be up and running in not too long )
Promos4DJ's - **** currently ***** for old site ***** for community
Used to be an amazing Promo DJ site until it had 40gb/day transfers. Now a Community
Pros: Now has a great community. Used to be up towards the 9000 member mark.
Cons: Looks shitty. Now only has DCN official posts which are on like tripod linx and shit.
MP3 Crack House - ****
Great Diverse and Large site lacks good servers... last time i checked.
Pros: Diverse music, good releases.
Cons: I mean who uses tripod (to host mp3s) anyway ... ?
well theres the wrap up. I think im forgetting some other sites. Like MP3 Factory and Tra-xXx and more...
But they are the best sites. My pick would have to be technodron for music (mainly because of the qual of music - which TA has - with the fast interface and good servers.)
My fingers are getting tired so i'll shut up.
Respect & l8erz /TS
