Done as requested! It's in the same folder as the link above.
Always happy to share this gig as it was the first time I ever heard Underworld and it is still my favourite gig of theirs!

Are you sending messages via this board or sending messages via the tracker? the latter isnt that great. The former works if they have chosen the same name there as here, which we do ask you to do upon registration. As for stuff not being seeded anymore the answer is that it WAS, when TheBang had a seedbox set up. Its quite some work to seed everything and real life often gets in the way. Yes we are niche. We also had fake accounts trying to get access to the tracker and implemented some security checks.

The original FTP btw, was run by John Morrissey for many years and used the old RTSR Yahoo group login details as authentication. There are still some things that havent been put on the tracker from this.

As for Mega, its better than using SendSpace (please dont use these places that have expiring links or make you wait to download or restrict when and what you can download). The Orb facebook group successfully uses a couple of Mega shares but it relies on the honesty of the users not to destroy the whole thing and a few key users to manage it. It is a closed facebook group but has thousands of members and its very active.

i had a member with a 0.03 ratio who tried to convince me that he has helped in other ways

find it hard to believe that when you have donwloaded 70 GBs and can not find the time to seed back a bit

anyway , i am now at 2.5 ratio , will probably seed until i reach a 5.00 ratio but we need people who download to stay and seed

or maybe they are also 'giving back' by seeding close to 0.01

That's me - yes, 0.03 is really bad, but there are reasons like some of the other members have mentioned already. I have a crap connection. It's supposed to be 20/1 Mbit, but in fact it is less than that - it's more like 14/0.6 Mbit. Some of the gigs I've downloaded twice, since I had some gigs on a pc that died.
Also, to get a higher ratio there must be someone demanding those particular gigs at the time you're online. I always turn off my pc when I go to sleep. And I keep most of the gigs (and all other Underworld material) on an external HD. I guess I just don't fit into the 'tracker segment'
I never really found out how to set up a tracker. TheBang, jetpig and others on these boards have helped me setting up the tracker. I did supply the John Peel promo cd and also an old Hamburg gig, which TheBang and jetpig put on the tracker. That's what I mean with 'helping in other ways' - sharing rare stuff, etc. But in your world, ratio is all that matters. And that's cool, I really appreciate that people are making the shows available / downloadable through the tracker.

The right time to seed back is when there is demand / requests - but I rarely check the tracker, sorry.

Yeah, keep us updated on your ratio ... nice, smug attitude

or maybe they are also 'giving back' by seeding close to 0.01

Or through other channels or in other ways. Who knows? You don't, obviously

I'm one of those folks who prefer upload hosts over torrenting. Just easier.

Attitude aside, a valid point on the availability of these bootlegs that we have treasured could be made here. Despite efforts by many we've yet to find a reliable way to keep our cache of shows updated and available to others. I'd like to believe a "World of Underworld Live" is coming, but the realist in me says no.

What are reliable ways with non-expiring links (or some mechanism around that) we can use? Mega and Google drive seem strong possibilities, though Geocities, Altavista, and Photobucket all have a thing to say about that.

Mega gives you 50gbs worth of upload space for free. I don't know what Google Drive gives you. There's also Dropbox, but you don't get a lot of space with free accounts.
