Underworldlive version 3.0 thread

EPK is great...good to hear the boys speak in a relaxed atmosphere/format.

I love this band.

[dubman]

wow.
great post today.

interview ran just fine for me.
i was wondering about the little (3) there... people have asked me to get into my account to nick them for free so i suppose it makes sense.

[COLOR=Indigo]Dubman, i've got the (3) too, and i'm pretty sure no one else but me has dled, and i dled only once. So must mean something else.
You should tell people to BUY the downloads and not let them leech :P

Techno_Bunny, the 3 means you can download that file three more times using your account. And 3 extra downloads is all you get. So it seems dubman's been on good behavior.

My question is what does the "+" mean next to the Misterons Mix?

Why can't I download a digital item from my user page?

Each time you purchase a digital product from us you get three chances to download it. If you have exceeded three downloads on any given product, you will no longer be able to download it. Most Digital Service Providers only allow one download per purchase. We aim to be a little more flexible and accommodating than that! Next to each purchased digital product displayed on your user page, you will see a number - this is the number of downloads you have remaining.

i only downloaded LBT once. shouldn't i have remainders?

or is this a policy put in place recently? i can't remember the last time i did anything over there. it's been.... well probably since LBT.

When there was still UWlive v1 there were no restrictions of this kind. You could download your RiverRuns as many times as you wanted.

But now it's different. Reminds me of that crappy Bioshock protection. That's why I did not buy Bioshock, and if I wasn't a fanboy I surely would not buy any more RiverRuns.
IMO any restriction of this kind is DRM and thus unacceptable.
Look what happened in the past: The Big Sister package was encoded in the wrong way when it was released the first time (48000 Hz, 160 kbps). A few hours later it was replaced by the proper version. And if that wasn't enough some time later it was replaced again by another repack. I've got three different repacks of Big Sister.
LBT has two different versions, one with a somewhat higher resolution artwork.

What if something like that happens with the next digital item? Do I lose a download if I get a wrongly encoded version like what happened with Big Sister?

Were there problems with the old system? Was it abused?

if u have missing downloads pls 'pm' me, its not hard to look u up on the account server. there was a lot to migrate, so some things may have sliped though.

jan; not sure i understand you, u can download the file and do whatever u like with it. old site was becoming a hosting server for fake accounts, not ideal. this way we can bring u more stuff with the bandwidth we have. the counter only reduced when the file is fully downloaded. i'll look into the repacking thing, that shouldnt happen anyway.

the '+' means unlimited downloads.

i don't see what the fuzz is all about... just download it and *backup* it at your place:
- burn a CD of it (remember: *no* DRM)
- store it on your harddrive
- archive it with your other backups
