With the delay in releases, can't 10C work with Nugs to let us download the boots while we wait for our hard copies?

    THAT would be pretty freaking sweet if they did let us download the MP3's while we wait.

    Maybe when our box set's ship we will receive a shipping confirmation email that will include all 25 direct download MP3 links? O:-)

    I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen. Reason being that each download is $10, so essentially you would be getting the boxset for half price. Also it would mean 10c gives up more potential revenue and that's another big hit if they do it

    It's not likely we'd buy the mp3s since we already bought the Box Set, so they're not giving up potential revenue. Last year Nugs told me I would have the Box Set in February! :-S

    This is exactly why I didn't buy the box.
    I know it's more to buy them individually, but I get to listen to them as they come out, and spread out my purchase.

    But I still think box set purchasers should be able to get mp3 downloads.
    here for the music...

    I agree with narnia - there's no way I'd be paying for mp3s I can rip later when I get the CD's - so there's no lost revenue from me and doubt many others. If it truly costs them more for me to download an mp3 off the web (and it seems to me it's more loss revenue than added costs), they may want to consider an 'get mp3 as released' cost adder to the next box set.

    I agree that there would be little lost revenue, if box set came with digital download. Not many are going to buy the digital download if they just bought the box set. Box set purchasers basically have given 10c an interest free loan for 6 plus months, it would be nice to throw in bootlegs codes for at least the early part of the tour...

    Is anyone else having trouble downloading these files? I updated Java and select the option to use the download manager. I get a box with all the songs listed, and it says - Hold down the CONTROL key on your keyboard and click each song title then select "Download Link to Disk," but I don't see where "Download Link to Disk" is. This will take forever if I save each song separately. Help!

    It say's "hold down .. " ? Never got that screen before.

    The Java thing is a pain. Got the Activate Java (TM) Platform SE 7 U. screen. Clicked Allow Now.
    Next I got this pop up screen that told me if I wanted to install iTunes. Like no. I don't use Apple.
    Then the screen where I would would like my files to be downloaded to.
    That's it. You should see this screen if you want to download them all ..

    Thanks demetrios, I got it to work for the first 5 shows but now it just freezes. Uninstalled Java, deleted cookies, etc. and it still doesn't work. I think Java and my computer don't like one another. I'll try on my office computer. :(

    Anyone figure out how to use the download manager on a mac? I installed the downloader but can't get the files to download - the song by song manual option is not really an option for me. Thanks

    I tried with Firefox and IE and neither work. I get a Java error that says stacks overflow and it won't launch.

    I had the same problem too. It would ask if I wanted to add iTunes. I canceled the request.
    Next screen was the window where I wanted to download the files too.

    They are MP3's. 870 MP3's.
