Are you ready to download bootleg files from other members of this website?
Bootleg Archive does not have any bootleg music files on this website. If you are looking to download bootleg music, please use Direct Connect or DC++ and go to dhcp://dc.bootlegarchive.com.
Direct Connect is file-sharing network protocol. DC++is an open source C++ client for the Direct Connect protocol. DC++ does everything that Neo-Modus Direct Connect does, only better and has a more feature rich interface. Bootleg Archive recommends using DC++ rather than the Neo-Modus Direct Conect client. For the most recent software and documentation updates, please visit the official DC++ website
..:: Bootleg Archive Hub Rules ::..
1. Minimum of 5GB shared, at least 3GB of which must be lossless audio files (SHN, FLAC, APE). If you are new, you must have 1GB shared. You have 30 days from your membership date to share 5GB. After that time, you will be banned for not sharing 5GB. (If you do not have any SHN files, please use http://www.gdlive.com/ or http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/tunetree/index.html to get started.)
2. Do NOT share incomplete shows. Do NOT share your incoming directory. Create a directory for your complete shows and share ONLY that directory. A show in SHN that does not have the md5 file(s) is considered incomplete. Do NOT share SHN shows without the md5. http://research.umbc.edu/~hamilton/shnfaq.html has excellent info about SHN and the importance of the md5.
3. Minimum of 2 slots opened.
4. Minimum of 1 slot open for each hub you are in, with a maximum of 10 hubs (if you are in 5 hubs, you should have 5 slots open)
5. If you are sharing any videos, they must be music related.
6. Do NOT share any "In Print" material, including "remastered" and MFSL releases.
7. Do not share WAV files. If you need to decompress files in your share, choose an output directory that is not in your share.
8. No mp3, mp2, mpc, ogg, or other lossy formats.
9. No porn, warez, games, adware, spyware, Gator or executable files.
10. Only queue one show at a time from a user unless you get prior permission to queue more.
11. No cloning (this means you cannot connect twice to the Bootleg Archive Hub with the same computer).
12. Don't advertise for other hubs.
13. Stay in the hub while downloading.
14. Don't ignore an OP.
15. No one under the age of 18 allowed!
16. No jackasses, morons, mutations, genetically damaged, lobotomized, disowned, or bottom feeding scum suckers allowed (chimps are okay).
Any violations of the rules above will get you permanently banned. If you feel you were unjustly banned from the Bootleg Archive Hub, please email support.
