to igz~ that\'s why i said it would be best to be on both the archive and torrented. however, to think that more people are going to see your (and my) links to the archive on a couple boards than would see it browsing a couple of the main torrent sites is silly. tons of different types of folks browse bt.etree, lossless legs, dimeadozen, etc who will never know to go look for the shows in the archive. these are people actively seeking out new music, who won\'t even know a new show is up on the archive unless they do a more complicated search on archive to find out. to me, the archive is a passive place to puts shows, as opposed to active placement on torrent sites. take the effort for new folks out of the equation, because they have no impetus to spend their time trying to dig for something they don\'t know whether is there or not. put it on a torrent site and its right there, easy and obvious for them to grab.
to dave~ that\'s why i figured you were using archive as the primary repository. i\'ve got shows seeding on a couple places, they aren\'t seeding on other places (and i don\'t know why - the same process works on some sites and not on others and i\'m too technically unsavvy to know why) and am more than happy to seed any and all shows. i\'m still sitting on five breakfast torrents and a 2006 timmy tour show. and they still get hits every so often. i just see the torrent sites as billboards and archive as a private room. maybe its just me.
and i certainly don\'t mean to imply you don\'t do your share. lord knows you go above and beyond.
i will try to torrent every show you puit up on the archive from here on out....
