Which are John Peel's 140 fave albums?

1: Create a big folder for the files
2: Create subfolders for each of the 142 seven-inches
3: Drop the existing files in the right folders, with a consistent naming scheme
4: Create a .torrent of all that (possibly using TorrentZip: http://www.pleasuredome.org.uk/mameftpgroup/index.php?full#tzip )
5: Hand out the torrent so that everyone can start downloading (and encourage those who have most of the files in the torrent already to put them in the right places so the torrent gets seeded much faster)
6: When new files are added, update the .torrent file and publish it - it'll only download the new stuff

This is very similar to how the PleasureDome MAME ROMs torrent works:

Dinosaur jr - Demolition Plot J-7 EP (6 tracks plus cover scan)
http://s44.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2SNI8W7EK4OLL2C5BFP66THS5R

Although, by your MAME example, it appears that they keep version tracking numbers. Which is different, no?

White Stripes - Dead Leave & The Dirty Ground
http://s7.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=25EZ5ZQTESGI71BDMIOOWQZIEK

thanks, alex, for getting that list done!

Does anyone know what they'll do with the box? I can give it a nice home ;)

G.L. Crockett - It's a Man Down There

http://s52.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2Y8TNEF4GNIAR14PVGIXRV4V3E

And that's it for me.

Sorry, but I have no idea.

It seems to be working, it is seeding 3 people right now, although rather slowly. To download the torrent from rapidshare you have to click the "free" link at the bottom of the page, then click the link "peel.zip.torrent". Hopefully it will speed up as more people get parts of it.

Incidentally, it's not necessary to make a torrent out of one big zip file...you can do whole directories too. Just FYI.
