Hello. Sadly, since this page was linked to on MetaFilter,
everything's gone a little bit crazy. The server held up fine under
the strain, sending out over one million MB of downloads, but
naturally the hosts, who were hosting the file for free, at this
point became alarmed at the prospect of harassment from the RIAA due
to the sheer volume of traffic, and have taken it down for the time
being. In the meantime, the file ("100songs.zip") is
available for sharing through the
eMule and eDonkey
networks 24 hours a day, and also through the excellent
Soulseek P2P network most
of the time. Clearly, it'd be a big help if anyone
downloading it could leave it in their share directory for a while
so it can be spread more widely. The direct download will be restored here
when traffic has reached a slightly less insane level. Sorry for any
disappointment - you should have been here sooner...
(Obviously, if anyone wants to offer
hosting space for the file, we'd love to hear
from you.)
