[*]The allowed formats are .gif, .jpg and .png. [*]Be considerate. Resize your images to a width of 150 px and a size of no more than 150 KB.

Uploading rules - Torrents violating these rules may be deleted without notice

All torrents must include proper title information which is standard on most sites. ie. Year, Month, Day - Program/Venue; City, Country 1999-99-99 - Here; Frankfurt, Germany ... No commercially available audio or video will be allowed on the tracker. AUDIO 1. All audio must be lossless and must include fingerprints/md5 or both (Traders Little Helper is a great tool to create such things). It also must include proper lineage where possible. Lineage includes source, recording equipment, transfer, taper, etc. 2. Where lossless audio is not available, lossy audio (mp3, mp2, ogg, etc) may be admitted under these rules: a. If after 2 months of the concert date, no lossless audio is made available, lossy audio will be accepted under the same conditions as lossless audio, with proper lineage though no ffp/md5 is needed. b. mp3s may not be sourced from random video sources. The only exception being if the taper of a particular show rips it and uploads it himself/or gives permission to do so. c. mp3s, will be allowed if they are sourced from web-streamed audio. Examples include but not limited to XFM, AOL and iTunes sessions. Both interviews, concerts and other audio are allowed under this condition. This does not include Youtube videos unless they are of sufficient age and no other source has surfaced or been made public. d. Lossy audio is accepted if it was broadcast as such by radio, tv, satellite, etc. VIDEO 1. All video uploads must have proper lineage, and include all relevant info though ffp/md5 is not an absolute must, but is preferred. 2. Lossy videos, including formats such as asf, avi, wmv, mp4, flv, etc., are allowed but must have relevant lineage and info as to source. No footage of down-converted dvds will be allowed. Again, full lineage and source is needed for all videos or the torrent will be banned. Make sure your torrents are well-seeded for at least 24 hours. If you have something interesting that somehow violate these rules, Or if unsure, contact the staff, or post in the forum for help.
