I start seeding Pittrek's Best of the best Queen Concerts like they were shared here a few months ago.
All posted zip and rar files are extracted by me and all concerts are renamed to have the same layout.

It's a huge amount of concerts (approx 32.5 GB) so it can take a few days before it is uploaded or totally seeded.

The Queenhub has next days a slow upload from me because I need bandwidth for this torrent.

Here is a list of concerts which were shared by Pittrek:

All credits are going in the first place to Pittrek. He really did a great job and it took so much time for him to collect all concerts and additional information and to upload the concerts to mediafire or rapidshare.
Really great !

Credits ofcourse also for the original uploaders/tapers of these concerts.


Best regards and have a good download,

Bokkepoot


edit: I forgot to remove the last part from each folder (Pitrek Best Of The Best).
I would remove it because:
a) Pittrek his name is Pittrek and not Pitrek
b) it's not needed to end every folder with (Pitrek Best Of The Best)
sorry for misspelling Pittrek, hope you can forgive ;)

I'm also joining in the seeding process. I currently have 71,1% of the torrent, but by tomorrow morning I'll have downloaded the shows I'm missing and there are going to be two seeders to this mega torrent.

Hopefully more people will join in and seed!

BTW a small explanation to my nick : my real name is Peter, one of the possible "family names" (diminutive ?) is Petrik, that's switched to Pitrek and a couple of old schoolmates added many years ago another "t" there, because I'm a Trekkie, at least many years ago :-)

Wow, that's terrifying !!! what a gigantic share !!
It's a very good way to give to Pittrek all the credit he deserves for his fabulous job last year. This is absolutely unmissable for everyone who has joined recently, you can't miss that one !! You have description of what is included here, in the title, "Best Of The Best". It is the best version that can be produced (as today) of the best recordings from each year. You have an excellent quality (respect it !) and a nice way to start a collection of Queen live recordings. After that, you can try and start collecting other ones, as these are not the only interesting ones.
Pittrek worked a lot for us, so it's nice to see that torrent now, let's hope everyone will enjoy his work.

Now Mark spent some time to create this torrent, and makes it all accessible easily to you. Many thanks Mark, your work on Queenzone these last 15 days is really impressive. 


Cheers both of you !!

Olivier,

Thanks for sharing. I've started sharing the parts which I'd already downloaded from mediafire/rapidshare, but this makes it easier to get some of the shows where the links aren't valid any more.

Although, you've renamed some of the files, which makes it difficult to continue sharing what I've already downloaded!

Thanks for sharing! It is great to have everything together. By the way, the medley from the 1976 Osaka AFTERNOON show is missing from the torrent (Track 6). Could anybody post it in rapidshare/megaupload? I would really appreciate as it is a great quality recording of the gig, and I would like to have it complete.

We have to take care with this beautiful little baby.
Beside of the fun of (re)sharing it's nice to see that there is still some interest in this share.
Maybe an update in the form of a kind of appendix will be great :)

I'm trying to download this torrent but the availability is only 0.367. We could do with some more seeders, 4 are reported but I don't have a connection to any of them (no idea why).
EDIT: also the links to the original articles for each year (in the first post) all give Page Not Found so I can't find the original individual concert downloads.

The forum has been through various "upgrades" over the past few years, and some of the links just don't work anymore, even though the threads themselves may still be there with a different url.

Can someone seed this please. I'm on 94.5% (taken two months to get to this stage) and the seeds have dropped to only 1 which is giving about 1kB/s for the small amount of time I can connect to it. At this rate it's going to take 6 months to get the last 1.76MB.

The irony is for the last 3 weeks between 2 and 4 peers have been connected to me and I've been uploading to them like crazy. My share ratio is well above 1.0despite not having the entire torrent. So clearly people want this. If only I could get the last 5.5% I can act as a seed.
Posted by OwenSmithuser not visiting Queenzone.com

Although you're keeping your ratio in check, it's not a requirement. Most people eat and run here.

Hopefully you get to finish soon though !

I regard eat and run on torrents as very poor practice. If at all possible everyone should hang around until their share ratio is at least 1.00 ie. you've uploaded as much as you have downloaded. I try to do better since I have unlimited data with no traffic shaping and a server that runs 24/7 so it doesn't cost me anything except whatever else I could be doing with the bandwidth. And with 3.5mbps down and 1mbps up there's only so much bandwidth to go around.

Since I don't have any interesting bootlegs to contribute, think of it as my contribution to the community.

Unfortunately I haven't seen a seed in days on this torrent, I've downloaded 0.01GB in the last two weeks. Meanwhile there are 6 peers uploading from me and my share ratio is above 2.0.

I think I'm going to have to go back to the original downloads and try to reconstruct what is missing. I do at least have lots of complete concerts, one of the early peers got me up to 35% by having just certain concerts and I decided that was a good idea and set download priorities on the torrent files to get whole concerts. I probably need to download about a quarter of it to fill in the gaps. It is unfortunate that original torrent creator changed some of the directory names in the name of consistency, I now have to attempt to replicate that otherwise all this data I've uploaded to the peers will have been a complete waste of time (if they can't complete the torrent from my infill).

After a month with no seed with me stuck on 95.4% a seed has appeared so I'd say stick with it. Even if the seed disappears again I have 96% now and most of that is made up of complete files and complete concerts, so if necessary you can fill in the gaps from the original downloads. I have been doing a bit of that myself, and immediately all the other peers stuck on the same percentage download it from me.

Annoyingly after the seed appeared one peer got to 100%, stayed around for about 10 minutes and then vanished. How helpful of them, particularly since my stats show they downloaded about 35% of the torrent from me.

This torrent was running really well last night and this morning before I left for work. The torrent stats on Queenzone show me and several other people as complete, so there should be multiple seeds (or just me if they've all run away).

I have indeed got the entire torrent, it finished sometime during the day on Monday while I was at work. I am seeding, but I've reduced the upload limit to 45kB/s which is half of my upload speed on my broadband. Any faster and the DHCP from my router becomes unreliable and it takes several attempts to get a network connection on my laptop. I'm seeing one other seed on the scrapes at the moment.

Persevere, it took me more than two months to download this torrent with seeds and peers coming and going and often giving me no more than 10 to 20 kB/s. It shouldn't take as long for you, I will keep seeding it 24/7 for at least a few months (probably longer).

Persevere, it took me more than two months to download this torrent with seeds and peers coming and going and often giving me no more than 10 to 20 kB/s. It shouldn't take as long for you, I will keep seeding it 24/7 for at least a few months (probably longer).


Thanks for helping me (and anyone else downloading it) get it, I appreciate it a lot. My internet isn't very stable when I'm using download links, so it's nice to have a torrent : )

No problem. People are uploading it from me, but at wildly varying speeds and the number of peers and other seeds varies massively from day to day. I've started to think of torrents as being like weather, the conditions vary so much!

Finished last night : )

Thanks Owen and the other people who seeded! I really appreciate that you stuck around so I could get it. I'll be seeding this now too.
