Torrent Sites

If you go to these sites to download there is etiquette. You must acquaint yourself with the policies of the site in the Wiki or forums provided. If you don’t you won’t be happy on these sites for long. Torrenting as a concept is sharing NOT taking. Learn it… Live it…. Love it… This is the best advice we can give. Don’t come running here if you get banned for being a heavy lecher with really bad ratio. Get on the forums form community relationships… This will carry you through and keep you warm and happy.

bt.etree.org – torrent site dedicated to much more than the Grateful Dead. Completely open, so stay on those torrents longer than usual so they don’t die

Lossless Legs – torrent site emphasizing Grateful Dead community. Great forums and easy navigation. Easy to join

Jeromes Place – torrent site featuring mostly GD and Jerry Garcia. Membership by invite or application only. Worth the time and effort. Great resource for new releases.

Dime-a-Dozen – torrent site dedicated to all live music with a cap on membership. Definitely worth the hour of retry after retry to get a log in… When you do you are happy trust me.. Tons of video and audio.

The Traders Den – torrent site with a great mix of audio and videio. Easy to join. Keep a good ratio!

PinkRobert – Roberts site is dedicated to sharing his collection. So you can’t upload here. Getting good ratio means staying on a torrent a very long time. Robert will warn you and kick you off if you stray… But he has a killer collection of all European shows . Not stuff you see in the states all the time.
