Pretty Hate Machine isn't Halo 1, its Halo 2. Down in it is Halo 1.. :P

if you really want to see the nin movie, you can just download stuffit for windows, it comes standard on mac, which is why it says [MAC ONLY] on the site, but that's just the compression, (i haven't actually been able to look inside the archive yet b/c of how long it takes them to send you an e-mail with the download link... but i'm sure theres a codec for windows machines that can play it, but it's probably just a compressed quicktime file)

Being an avid DVD collector I agree about AC3. 5.1 surround music just plain sounds good.

For 3+ gigs @ ~35kb/sec (with quite a few hiccups), not exactly what I'd call quick...but you just queue stuff up and forget about until it's done. No instant gratification, but the complete collection probably would have cost me over 200 bucks, plus there are about a dozen non-halo's in the collection (bootlegs, deluxe re-releases, etc), and most of the mp3's are 320kbs...to have tracked all of those down individually would have taken much much longer. What I was impressed about is that I got all of this with a single click/download (I thought I made that clear in my post)...THAT'S the beauty of torrents IMO...it's a one stop shop. So a week of downloading for all of that? Very much worth it if you ask me :-).

A week to download? Seems to me that leaves a LOT to be impressed about.

@Shannon I don't know what it is about me and "owning" stuff...I'm not vain, but I just like to actually have it in my hands (I've posted about this before as it relates to DVD's). In this case, I still want the raw mp3 (or whatever format) on my drive :-). For some reason, subscription services just don't work for me...I did Netflix way back in the day when they were a fledgling .com; I did indeed use the service, but not nearly as much as I thought I would. I would give Y! a shot in the music realm, but I'm concerned about the bredth/depth of artists they carry (do they have Autechre? Boards of Canada's new LP? What about stuff on the Global Underground or Ministry of Sound labels?). I was halfway through signing up for the free trial, but IIRC they wanted a credit card number from me...so I closed the window and forgot about it.

I think that you can open .ac3 files with Jet Audio, too. Try to keep your archive. They will remind good memories for you in next years ;)

funny how that whole piracy thing goes... both NIN and Metallica could bust me for downloading their shitty-sounding mp3s (Lars claimed in court that mp3s sound exactly the same as a CD). But I have owned a cassette of every release these two bands put out up to 1996 or 97, and then bought them on CD. why am I too lazy to walk into the other room, find the CD and rip it myself? I don't know, but for some reason I download the music instead. Or used to, anyway. I just listen to it via a subscription service now. I know better than to think that my mp3 collection is any more permanent than my 45 record singles, my LP collection, my 8-track collection, or my cassette tape collection. I don't want a "permanent" copy anymore. I don't want to "own" a copy. I don't want to waste time, money or labor on it. I just want to be able to listen to it whenever I want. That's not too much to ask for, right? :)
