Oh my god did you guys just steal my music?! You each owe me $0.003 !!!
I got half a quesadilla and a shiny rock
You must be a very generous person, that’s worth way more than what dude asked for
You barter with what you have
I know, I read about this news, but nowhere did I find this torrent file that they are talking about, do you know where they sent it to what site, and if this is just for the sake of information, do I condemn piracy?🧐
I think you’re looking for this page.
1st time in my life I get a
Error HTTP 451even had to look up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_451 and I have to admit the reference to Ray Bradbury’s 1953 dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 is pretty neat.Consequently because the proxy link you provided is relying on CloudFlare which is itself blocking access I recommending link first to the original content https://annas-archive.org/torrents and optionally to mirrors, proxies, etc.
Error HTTP 451
genius
“Condemn” or “condone”? While similar sounding, those two words have basically opposite meaning. Yay English!
Don’t even get started on our homophones. XD
Dude it’s 2025 you can’t use that word anymore
I have 3gb of space to share. Are there 150 other people like me that want to do some distributed hosting? What technology can handle this?
Torrents manage this without any extra tech. Just grab the .torrent file, and only select the files you have space for. Download them then seed, and get your 150 friends to do different files. If I then go to download a file that’s in your batch, the download will happen from your server (and whoever else is seeding these files), and if I go to download a file that’s on one of your 150 others’ server it’ll download from there.
Yes, almost. But i want it to seem like i have all 400tb on my 3tb drive. I want the cache to handle downloads automatically and I want an even spread of files so that none get lost.
Torrents give me:
- Chunking
- Redundancy via multiple seeders
- Partial downloads
But they do not give me:
- A unified filesystem view
- Automatic caching & eviction
Guarantees that every file stays available- User side load balancing or placement control
A way to say “this file must exist on N peers”
Maybe I should be typing this into a LLM.
Edit: ChatGPT is suggesting an IPFS Cluster
Edit 2: If the torrents stays active I can remove some requirements
Ahh fair enough! Yeah, not sure about all that.
A very long time ago I remember there being FUSE filesystems that allow you to mount a .torrent like a network drive. I have no idea if these are still kicking though. Still doesn’t provide all of your extra bullet points but might be a good start to the rabbit hole
Fuse looks like a good way to make the 3tb look like 400tb but it doesn’t do the replication bit.
I’m commenting these ideas publicly because maybe others will join in. Thanks for playing along!
It would be awesome if we had an app that allowed to stream directly from such torrents, and had a user-made recommendation system to replace the discovery algorithm :D
I wonder how they are splitting it up in different torrents and how many.
They are splitting it up right? 😁
Stremio + Torrentio does this for TV but I haven’t found an equivalent for music. Hoping to be proven wrong 🤞
Something as easy as stremio but for music. Connect to listenbrainz instead of trakt. Then only serve from the spotify collection because of their extensive metadata. With multi device sign in and syncing like stremio. Then a Kodi add on for the libreelec people.
i need a subscribe button for this
Whoever knows the answer, or when one is developed, someone please ping us all in this thread? thanks mate
Chatgpt is recommending an IPFS Cluster but I suspect this doesn’t solve the problem completely.
Direct stream may be phase 2
Did not see this coming when I built my 40TB NAS
40TB LOL. Where we’re going, we’re gonna need more space! Back to the Space, Part IV!
I’m building my first Linux setup and have a NAS planned out. I’m so stoked. I got a raspberry pi kit from my dad as an Xmas gift yesterday.
I also used a raspberry pi (5). People here will advise against it but for me it’s been working fine so far. I can stream 4K with Jellyfin on my local network just fine. Read/write speeds aren’t great but good enough for me. I used a Pi hat with 5x SATA ports and I have 5x 8TB HDDs in a custom 3D printed enclosure and I’m using ZFS RAID z1. No complaints yet.
You learn a lot more than if you were to just slap an epyc in a box. Pi will reach you about encoding and balancing resources. I still use everything I learnt and some of the gear like the terra master only reason I don’t use it anymore is because I got free server stuff from work.
Get to acquiring Seagate external HDDs and shucking them for your own 3.5" drive bays before the data centers get them
Sadly my wallet is on time out
The 20TB drives I was looking at in July are up 40% :/
Pc guys haven’t had a break in like 7 years. One component or another is the hottest item for one scam or another.
Frankenstein all the way, you just have to continuously build from whatever part is cheap at the moment.
At 100 now and it looks like I need to quadruple
Wow this is so revolutionary.
Never in the history of the internet has music been available for free.
Not this easily with accurate tags and art it hasn’t.
Uhh get on a real site and it has been.
Help me out. Where?
They more often than torrents do have the wrong tags when its not English music. Took me way too many emails to google music and Spotify before they stopped screaming at me with ALL CAPS on one album and before removing the dots after album track names (1. Track Name), not to mention the ones named TRACK 1, etc.
internet explorer bro
not sure why you want that much music most of it garbage. i would like some of the podcasts that people dont post anywhere else though. all hail the data hoaders.
Data/Culture preservation (imagine having something like this for Sumer or ancient Egypt).
Also you could just take the few things you like, not all of it.
And remember to support artists that you think deserve it (megacorps in between don’t really deserve it).
Wasn’t all of this shit already available as torrents?
You could hand pluck grains of rice out of a field or just steal a 25lb bag.
Which would you prefer?
When the 25lb bag is mostly weavels?
You of all people should know how to spell that word correctly.
deleting my account
In case of this, definitely the grains.
Most of this rice is not worth stealing :D
No.
Not everything got torrented after music streamers came into prominence. (Though chances are pretty good you could rip an MP3 off Youtube for whatever you’re looking for.)
Ripping Mp3s off YouTube Music Videos is without a doubt the worst method of piracy I’ve ever heard of.

That’s Captain have heard of it, mate.

That’s nothing compared to my old Napster collection
Fuck Lars.
Saw them live 3 times before that shit. Never listened to a single song since.
Moved to Tidal. Reviews from some tech-site said “It’s like Spotify 10 years ago.” as if that’s a bad thing.
Loving the FLAC quality and non-enshittification.
Tidal lost me immediately when it took 3 months for them to recognize my cancelation of my subscription.
Tidal didn’t work when I had all my privacy settings enabled. It straight up didn’t work on the browser on Linux while blocking trackers. If I can’t run your app with full blocker settings, then I am not going to run your app.
Umm

Umm what? That I wasn’t happy I got charged three months for a service I repeatedly cancelled?
It sounds like they lost you in 3 months, not immediately.
I think the confusion is that you basically said “Tidal lost me when they lost me.”
A customer can come back in the future. But probably not after this.
I canceled to shift my charge date originally. Then it became permanent
I moved to qobus. It’s not owned by untied states capital.
And there’s some great quality CLI applications that let you rip source quality FLACs!
I tried Tidal but they have a glitch on their app where downloaded songs get stuck and playlists stop downloading. They’ve had a bug open about it for at least three years last I checked. It may sound niche, but I’m often traveling and use offline music regularly
99% of the “original” Spotify’s contents are crap or AI bloat. The rest was already on torrent before.
They break this down on their page, but while that’s certainly true-ish for the last year or two the bulk of the collection is from before that.
How many full seeds are there? I mean how many could there be? Who has 300 Tb to throw at this?
On their torrent page it’s explained more but it’s broken up into many many torrents and you basically say how much space you’re willing to host and it generates one with the least seeded “blob”.
I don’t really know how that would work on the back end but it seems technically impressive.
Wow, that is technically impressive, very cool!
Given some of the collections I’ve seen on private trackers I’d say there is going to be quite a few seeding this in its entirety.
You mean if they wipe their collection to make space. Private sites probably have better quality than Spotify.
No im saying they have so much storage I could see them having space to seed this.
Well, at least the datahoarders can preserve some things when it all goes to shit…
90% of Spotify is trash. Much like Audible, it’s just choking on AI generated content and similar worthless vanity projects
