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.

Seconded! It's great that the member section is back and the shop is evolving. Thanks aNt for clearing out the old and working the new. I look forward to the return (?) of the live archives (esp. to complete the Moscow gig!)

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

i don't need another LBT download, i'm just curious about the status of my account.

that, and also, i just dont get all of this complaining on face value. to call an allotment of three downloads equivalent to DRM and unacceptable would sound like an invitation for me to tell you to take a hike if i were running this thing. DRM places major restrictions on the mp3 itself, this is only restrictions on the site because i'm sure people who arent you and me and other dirts were letting their internet buddies just use their account or just set up ghost accounts for mass abuse. so no, it's not DRM. secondly i cant think of too many places that let you download more than one copy of what you bought. third why would you ever need to have unlimited downloads? assuming most of us have it, that THREE chances to back up. demanding that the well is endless or youre throwing a fit is just bratty.

and fourth wtf was all that nonsense concerning the encoded stuff? OBVIOUSLY if something screws up it's not going to count against a download.

bah!

Yeah, you're probably right... I was taking this "what if?" thinking a little too far.
Sorry for sounding 'bratty'.

[patrick]

agreed... i think it makes perfect sense to try and restrict the re-download affect... when it is too easy one would just download it again instead of using another method to move it (say downloading a track again at work instead of bringing it on a jump drive/ipod)

I have to agree. The 3 download rule seems reasonable for 99% of legitimate accounts, and if you really have a valid reason for more than 3 downloads, I'm sure you can use the contact method provided on the site to request another one.
