Streaming services will be temporarily disabled due to some upgrades I'll be making.  I hope to have them back by the new year.  Maybe sooner if I can spare some time.

The new design is up.  It's a little more hefty than I would prefer, but I like it much better.  I am working on a mobile version, since my Android chokes a bit on the 2-column layout.

The remnants of Hurricane Ike whipped through the midwestern states on Sunday, killing all the power to my source Icecast Server.  After 48 hours, services are back up.  More importantly, I have cold beer again.

User registration was broken for a time.  Notifications were not sending, leaving stranded users on the both the torrent repo and the main site.  I have notified blocked users for re-activation.  Please re-register with the torrent site and/or the blog site if you are unsure of your status.

The Ogg Vorbis stream has been removed.  Hopefully this is only a temporary measure, but lately the ogg stream has been breaking... requiring frequent restarts of the icecast service.  The MP3 stream is still working fine.

I am upgrading services to the vinylproject.com sites.  Please be patient if responses are flaky and slow, if not completely broken.  Rest assured that I'll have everything back as soon as possible.  Streaming has been broken for a while due to me forgetting about the playlists.   It's currently back online, but not 100% stable.

Azureus and bittorrent client problems have been identified. Read about the fix if you are having problems downloading or connecting to the permaseed.

I am having problems with Azureus Vuze versions 3.x connecting to the permaseed (the means by which we always seed torrents).  No problems whatsoever with the earlier 2.x versions of Azureus and the standard bittorrent clients though.  Sorry, but direct downloads are disabled as they are abused.

I found and fixed a critical problem with the live audio stream being downmixed to mono on the left channel (upon capture).  The live feeds are now being captured in full, producing stereo streams.

There are reports of some intermittent connections on the Ogg and MP3 streams, but I haven't experienced them first hand yet.

Please don't be alarmed by the new disguise.  We're still the same old site, but with even more to come.  In the next few weeks I'll be porting over the entries from vinylproject #1.
