HX1 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Yeah, beware of the clones... torrents are actually packed with something extra I was finding... winsormetal something.. kept being blocked by adguard... and are all dead ( unless something else was going on.. ) I honestly will die without KAT.. TPB is always petering-out 'Back in 10 minutes for database maintenance or something' .. and is missing TONS of stuff anymore. Getting fed up with all of the crap... my media is suffering right now.. as well as all of my research to find some rare stuff.. I need to find a good place that has a good range of lossless with things that are sometimes on the verge of obscurity.. KAT was the only place.. for most of it..

Administrator DKT27 Posted July 27, 2016 Administrator Share Posted July 27, 2016 I personally found that KAT has some torrents / some uploaders that almost no other torrent site had. I'm waiting them to move back to TPB or something similar to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yeah I have.. .. Vinyl is hard to come by as well as complete FLAC versions of artist discographies... Some vinyl I would have to pay collectors prices for, then put it under glass.... I would also have to take a week off work drive or fly somewhere to get it and shop... nothing for miles and miles around here... Two things don't work there.. Loosing artistry and experience because of money and money because of no work..LOL.. Stations don't cut it.. never will and neither will YouTube.. or buying at the behest of DRM.. Lossless.. pure.. and free for compatibility in the best range of devices.. a lot of places don't even offer true lossless.. I have also looked at trying to load other links .. but finding something valid and trying to test it to load properly is something else as well... going deep and dark is lonely off the grid.. LOL Sometimes I miss the days of importing stuff.. ( for hundreds of dollars ) LOL.. and going into a record store to search for something new or something that could be ordered.. Even at that though.. having access to everyday and new stuff to build a solid collection and knowing it was there is just security.. I slacked off and said I would get to it one day.. never did.. but had done research on it... Looking for stuff and trying to connect the dots and fill in wholes...
