Given that the FTP runners are providing a free service to the community, I don't see why you begrudge them their ego boosts. That is not 'idiotic', my friend...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

As it stands, the only incentive seems to be soundtrack labeling and identification. Guess what. ::noonecares::

You gotta have something that nobody else has; something that would have a lot of demand. If you're anal over something as trivial as proper capitalization on ID3 tags, then you might as well serve music that has no loss in quality. Why would you download MP3s, when you could get a lossless copy, burn it, then encode it to any compressed filetype that you wish. The large size of FLAC, APE and other files ain't even an issue.

The bottom line is that there is no major server of lossless game soundtracks, and if you want to return GFA to its former glory (lol yeah ok), then lossless is the way to go.

We already have a guide that can be followed for encoding in lossless. Surely, we have enough members that would be willing to buy some of the latest releases, as well. I'm definitely getting the ACZ soundtrack at the end of May, for instance, so you'd have it right away on the server.

Hey Megalith, check out www.gftracker.org as a few of us GFF members are trying just that.

How ya doing, buddy?

I think that's only because it's so separate from GFF. Plus, any website takes a while to get running. I don't think it's that people don't want lossless audio, it's that

• Not a lot of selection
• Not a lot of seeders
• Ratio enforcement
• Download something and your ratio is screwed because there's no one below you to seed it to
• Vicious cycle caused by all of these combined

Bet you ten bucks if I started a lossless FTP people would be all over it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Of course, because it would be an FTP.

Q) Not a lot of selection
A) It's just started. Give it some time.

Q) Not a lot of seeders
A) See above

Q) Ratio enforcement
A) Haven't seen anything about that, but maybe because it hasn't been implimented yet or maybe I missed it.

Q) Download something and your ratio is screwed because there's no one below you to seed it to
A) See all of the above

Q) Vicious cycle caused by all of these combined
A) Once again...

I was speaking idiomatically.

I suppose Megalith's still bitter that certain FTP runners shut him out for the very attitude he's displaying in this thread.

How ya doing, buddy?

The tracker is quoted in his post. He allready signed up and uploaded a few things. I should get my seeds back up... lets do that...

FELIPE NO

Isn't this what I said.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
