Something else you can do that will really help: set up a torrent with all that great new bandwidth. :) The reasons that I'm *really* excited about Jamendo: 1. Lots of free content in one place, with a rating mechanism that actually works. 2. Real growth in artists. 3. Bittorrent, which means low costs for delivery. 4. They serve Oggs! This will be *crucial* for the Fedora story. BUT... the Ogg torrents are underserved. Help. :) Here's what you yourself can do, right now: http://www.jamendo.com/us/static/jamendotools_jamseeder/ I'm working to get hardware, but it could be a while before it's ready to go -- like, a month-ish. In the meantime, I'm about to go buy a big external hard drive, attach it to an old system at home, and run Jamseeder myself. --g ------------------------------------------------------------- Greg DeKoenigsberg || Fedora Project || fedoraproject.org Be an Ambassador || http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors ------------------------------------------------------------- On Wed, 30 Aug 2006, Mike A.
