Genesis torrent site shut down.

[unclejosh]

That does not work. It brings up the prompt to open bit torrent client but when i click Open Link, nothing happens. It just closes the pop up and nothing opens in qBitorrent. I have been torrenting for as long as it has been a thing and I do not understand why this isnt working. I use magnet links every day so there is something wrong with that hash numbers.

Doesn't matter which browser I use either. Tried in Firefox, Brave, and Chrome.

To be clear, this is what I am entering in the Input hash field - 14FDA9DE 16EC19F4 F9AD9E44 73814C02 67C0B141

It might need the spaces removed? I think that's what I believe I did... I mean, that's what I heard worked... hehe

when you open this with your torrent client, will it straight download the COMPLETE torrent, without possibillity to choose (100+ GB or what?) or can you choose what show(s) you wanna download?

Ok, so, supposing somebody had managed to download that entire folder - all 100 gb worth - before it was removed and the ban was introduced, what do they do with it now? Not all of it was post-1978; there's some Lamb stuff in there and some stuff from 1973 so I suppose that could still be uploaded. But it seems that there's a bit of a quandary now, as there will be collectors who have what Concord now construe as being legally theirs, who would still want to share this material freely, rather than just hoard it or, even worse, want to charge other collectors for their ill-gotten gains.

Furthermore, some of the stuff is only available as a raw file and would need the talents and skills of collectors who are good at remastering, stem-splitting etc. Skills which are beyond my ken...if I even had the files in the first place. Which, of course, I don't

Brilliant, thank you for this!!

Hello,
I am the one who uploaded the original torrent with some friends. I am sure it wasn't Genesis Management or Concords who did this; it was probably a collector who told the company some nonsense, as if they had stolen audio recordings or something, and that's why they had to react.
Now the site is back, thankfully. Otherwise, AudioArchivist, can you check your PMs on TTD? Regarding one of your hearings that we discussed a few months ago.

is there a live link nowadays?

[joujoujou]

There is one, just a few posts up: 26c8170ad8afea5bb877c8c07f1c4906c41f6c09

Using google "hash to torrent" or "hash to magnet" will sort you out.

Really? In which case, I would like to thank you from the heart of my bottom. I've saved £89 this month thanks to your generous efforts as you've given me so much to listen to that I'd sooner not put money in Concord's pockets for their lacklustre release

I have already remastered a couple of the shows and posted them to G101. I'd be happy to post them here or elsewhere where rules allow (I still don't see Phil/Genesis on the 'band restrictions' list here, but of course remasters are frowned upon for some reason) Hoping to work on some more over the next few months, I'll figure out a way to get them out there.

Meh, there's a statute of limitations on this stuff for me. How it's legally anyone's at this point is ridiculous, the band and their labels have had literal decades to release stuff from the vault, and instead put out redundant compilations or archival albums that were still of lesser sound quality than what bootleg collectors had. Moreover, these are straight soundboard tapes and not multitrack recordings, of which Genesis still has many in their vault that would be better than anything a mastering engineer could do with these (still excellent) straight board mixes. I mean, the lawyers can do their thing and technically be in the right, but it's pretty silly to sit on this great stuff for decades and then be all mad when suddenly it's out there because fans are still interested in it.
