A word of advice to ANYBODY putting sets on HERE!

Not to be rude...

I'm tired of sets being thrown up on these pages, that don't download when you right click and "save to disk" -- all these sendspace and megaupload stuff is SHITE...you want people to download your stuff, but you are putting them through a laborious process just to get your MP3 set.

If you can afford to record you own mix, get your own webspace to host your sets. It would save everyone alot of trouble. Plus it would make the experience enjoyable and I wouldn't have to waste my time writing this post.

It's not easy to listen to everybody's set or download 20 sets in an hour anymore, but it could be. I usually pass up sets hosted on sendspace and such anymore, cause it's a damn hassle. I am such others echo the sentiment.

Peace and love
-WardC

I don't see why Megaupload is shite:

1. It's free to use.
2. It doesn't even require a membership.
3. It will keep hosting a file whilever it's being downloaded.
4. I've never known a download fail from it.
5. It's a 20 second wait for a download to become available.
6. It's easy to use for both parties.

Given the download time anyway for a file the size of a mix, if you call it "laborious" to type three letters and wait 20 seconds, you probably don't have the attention span to listen to a full mix anyway.

Beggars cant be choosers.

I know it's annoying to wait 30 seconds at Megaupload...but its a small price to pay for an Ipod full of quality mixes that cost you $0.00

You should be thanking uploaders instead of being critical.

And what if somebody puts up maybe 2 or 3 sets a year? Is it worth paying for hosting if you rarely even use it?

So, it takes you an extra minute or so to grab a set? Jeez...

Own hosting FTW!!

Though I do use a portal site to track stats and allow people to rate my mixes

leave the kid alone, i mean if that is him in the avatar its just not right to give him sass. Megaupload is said to be very challenging for special people. And by special, i mean retarded.

I don't know guys...I understand his point. It's nicer to just have a direct download--I'm not going to skip over a good looking mix because of the sendspace/megaupload redirect...but it's definitely nice to have the former.

buy the tracks
buy the gear
put the effort in to record a set

all to hear a whiny bitch who gets stuff for FREE complain.

of course its nicer, i'll agree...but if you dont like it just don't download. Complaining about it is pretty gay.
