Big Music Collection

[Blizzard]

So like, I am seeding my music collection. :3
If you want a piece, PM me or my other personality game_guy for the torrent link.

*humps blizzard's leg* I was going to ask you for something like this.

[Spaceman McConaughey]

HAHAHAHAHAHA. IT ALREADY HAS 4 LEECHERS. AHAHAHAHAHA.

[Ryex]

ye gods, with this my collection will more than double in size!

[Blizzard]

I hope this works right because I don't see anybody connected right now. Also, there was no up traffic yet. ._. Maybe I suck at creating torrents?

I know my first couple were some epic fails. I didn't understand the whole "tracker" thing.

[Blizzard]

I kinda do understand what a tracker does, but I'm not entirely sure I set everything up right. I'll google around a bit.

[Ryex]

darn, I've been connected for a while but I can't connect to the seed. it says it's there but I'm not connected to it.

[Blizzard]

Haha, I got it working. Looks like the "Initial Seeding" option for superseeding is faulty in uTorrent.

Alright, guys, be aware that there is 11.5 GB of music and I have a max upload speed of 256 kbit/s (even though uTorrent's test showed 312 kbit/s O_o) so this will take a while. I'll obviously leave my PC on during the night, etc.

The torrent also includes my album "The Storm is coming". I have decided that I don't care about the money earned from that album (not like it's much ._.) so I'm going to try to use that album as promotional material as much as I can while I keep working on "Perfect Chaos". That doesn't mean you can't still actually pay for my music.

[Ryex]

we'll I'm dling now, it will probably take several days but i'll get all 11 GB and I'll seed for a few weeks after that so...

also I already bought your music (out of curiosity how much you you actually get form your music? a few hundred a month? I don't think you get much more than $200 USD if that. your not exactly well known.)

[G_G]

The tracking thing only updates every couple of hours or so. Which is why no initial traffic shows. Also I'm streaming your music while it downloads. VLC rocks. :3

Hah, I wish. I earned a bit more than $50 in almost 2 years. I realized that marketing and promotion is a very, very important and difficult thing to do. It'll take time.

Depends on the scene really.. but I imagine it to be very difficult for trance, or any kind of dance music really. People could be dancing to your music in clubs, but still not know your name, let along ever buy your music.
Au contraire, say what you want about postrock, but it has some of the most loyal fans ever... if you make good music, and put it on the internet where people can see it, they'll find it, follow you and insist to buy your album even if you offer the music for free. I mean, I'm not even close to finishing my EP, and people are already ordering it on vinyl. But then again, even if you get big with postrock, you can't get *as big* as with trance, so it all has its pro and cons.

Well I figured you didn't care since it is thepiratebay.

I agree on that. It's easier to get fans in genres other than Electronic, but there's kind of a limit to how high you can get (it's not a universal rule, there are obviously exceptions). These days only Electronic music and Pop are kinda popular along with Hip Hop. The rest pretty much staled down. Even all the rock songs that are popular sound more like Pop Rock.

[The Niche]

Torrent's not working. Also, 'tis not about what's more popular, 'tis about what you like making.

[Blizzard]

Weird. I left my laptop turned on at home. It should keep seeding even while I'm at work.

[Subsonic_Noise]

I should know, Naoise. Just wanted to add that to what blizz said.. I really like my postrock scene though. Leaves you alot of freedom too, as long as it has the cinematic aspect, it qualifies. Downpoint is though that the fanbase is nearly completely male for some reason, which I really don't get. :V

[Blizzard]

Don't worry about that. A wise man once said "Lead the men and the women will follow." xD

EDIT: Piratebay deleted my account and removed the torrent. O_o; Anyway, I updated the first post with the monova upload I did.

[Ryex]

me and G_G have been stuck at 3.3% all day...
