Digital bootlegs collection

Hi,

I live in a remote area where high speed internet doesn't exist. Therefore, I cannot download any bootlegs from pearljambootlegs.org

I am looking for a digital collection of shows (and rare tracks if any) that are not available through the goods section. I already own the complete bootlegs from 2000, 2003, 2008, 2009 and 2010 (waiting for the 2011 box set...). I am mostly looking for pre-2000 shows + other appearances post-2000 that were not issued as bootlegs.

If anyone as such a collection and is willing to transfer it on a Mac-compatible hard drive, I would cover the costs of the hard drive + shipping to Canada.

Thanks for your consideration.

    If I had a mac, i'd help you out in a second. I have 99.99% of all Pearl Jam recordings (we're talking many TBs of lossless shows). But alas, i'm a PC guy.

    I could be wrong here, but couldn't you save the files from your PC (assuming you use itunes as your library) to an extrernal hard drive, and then the OP would be able to just use your files to add to his library?

    I don't know a lot about this but I know you can format external hard drives to something called "Fat32" or something that will allow you to use it on both Mac's and PC's...

    It's not so much the files, and I have original copies of them. The lossless shows are all archived on either xHDs or dvdrs.

    It's the FAT32 issue and if the HD has been formatted for use on one platform, it usually won't work on another. Fat32 is necessary to run on mac, and can work on PC, but won't allow more than 4 gig transfers at a time.

    I've tried to help a friend in the past who has a mac. My xHD didn't play nice with his machine.

    But a flash drive, that i'm not sure about. They may play nicer across platforms.

    A MAC HD is formatted as Journalized or something like that. PCs are usually Fat 32. A HD formatted for a MAC wouldn't be recognized on a PC and vise versa. Jump drives should be the same MAC and PC wont play well together.

    Hubs and torrents are the only way to go, here - unless someone else has a mac and a collection as expansive as mine.

    I have a Mac and have moved stuff from friends and work PC's easily enough. You can have a drive formatted in FAT32 (but then can't have any single file bigger than 4GB) or NTFS (except your Mac can't write to that) which you write to from the PC, and then the Mac can read that and copy off.

    The only thing that won't work is connecting a Mac formatted drive (using Mac OS X Journaled) to a PC unless you have specialist software.

    But going from a PC to a Mac will work to read only level at the very least

    I am not a Mac expert, but I used an external drive (formated FAT32) with my G5 for my iTunes library. Mac Time Machine will not recognize the external drive unless it is journal OS formatted. So regardless of the format, the Mac should recognize any files on the hard drive.

    Your PJ collection is multiple TB's? :shock:

    Did I read that right? Damn Well Done.....

    You have them on disc or on a hrd drive?

    I am looking for a few older shows I have been too... Have found them in the past, but not good quality.

    I would really like to get these shows in some decent quality...

    Oh Yeah OP - i have a Mac.. I do have some pre-2000 shows. Not a huge amount..... But I have some..... I could download other's that you might be looking for too! I would say a 16 gig flash drive would be the way to go vs. an external HD. I also have about 15 or so of those boots from 1994 that I used to pay $35 a pop for. I could include those with scan's of the artwork too...

    I have some 06 shows that I could put on a flash drive for you...

    I know you wanted older shows, but my collection is lacking in anything pre the official bootleg releases in 06

    @stickman: Yes, multiple TBs. At one point, I was a part of a very small circle of friends who had just about everything under the sun. If the source is known to exist, I likely have it...save for a few 1995 SP tour shows. Some tapers have just refused to share recordings for years that we know exist.
