From DAD, I get speeds up to 900 kbs. It will be like 30 or 40 with Queenzone torrents and it always starts off slow for some reason. I wonder if it is the lack of high speed connections. I'm running 30Mbps download/5Mbps upload.

There are two folders "Disc 1" and "Disc 2", the "info.txt" and the "QUEEN - Germany, Berlin, Deutschlandhalle January 24th, 1979.md5". Should be like the original. I'll keep on seeding for a few days, and the following shows as well: Himeji 76 Immigrant Magic Berlin 86 Sapporo 79 Kassel 82 Cleveland 77

Because they have a ratio policy – you have to upload at least 25% of the amount you download to be able to start further downloads. Here on QZ many leechers leave when they're finished and don't care about the community, just because they aren't forced to." Actually, that's one of my pet peeves here. The amazing ingratitude of so many people who download and NEVER bother to share back. When I share a DVD of over 4 GB and only every 10th downloader helps seeding I am so frustrated that I think about stopping each time. I know that we lose many good sharers only because of these grabbers and runners. We have these amazingly kind people and tiredless sharers on QZ - it's a shame that there are so many leeches who never even reseed a torrent.

Here's my opinion about this show, after listening to it twice: I love the live killers era (imo, 1977 to 1981 saw the most powerful performances and the best setlists), but this particular show is definitely not the best. Freddie seems to struggle a bit through the first songs, especially "Now I'm Here" is very loose and lacks inspiration, it's definitely the worst interpretation of this song through the Live Killers tour (from the 7 or 8 shows I know). And the "rhythm group" doesn't have their best evening either. It's getting better towards the middle of the concert, especially "Spread Your Wings" is wonderful, and "Keep Yourself Alive" is one of the best versions I know. But BoRhap suffers again from Freddie's voice and timing problems. The audience is very enthusiastic, it seems, but it doesn't help much. I am often deceived by the sound quality – a perfect sounding show always seems to be a better performance – but in this case I doubt that an excellent sound would save the show. This is my own personal opinion, if somebody likes to tear it apart (or contribute in any other way), please do so ;-)
