wow you are hooked up.
I'm a mac gal... so i just wondered how many other's on here had macs.

I find so many of the concerts are done in torrent files... the reason i'm not so crazy about that is i have to download yet one more piece of software to get them to work on the mac. I mean having mp3s and quicktime files are so much easier since they just automatically get played in iTunes...no other software needed. (Quicktime and iTunes obviously being preinstalled and updated frequently).

Here is my thought... the bootlegs are not of high quality anyway so does it really matter if a torrent file give better quality vs. an mp3 quality... I mean it just seems a huge hassle to me.

The bootlegs are usually not of a digital quality (and thats being nice) so would tend to agree.
It use to frustrate the hell out of me that a lot of things I need to use on my PC didn't work on my Mac as they were microsoft based, which is why I got the HP, purely for work.

Yes! I've got a network of them, plus one old PC just to check how websites I design display on various PC browsers.

Just download BitTorrent for the Mac HERE and you can grab all the torrents you need. Search Google for a Torrent tracker file (which is simply a small text file) then drag it on top of the BitTorrent window and it will begin downloading the actual torrent.

Also, most of the torrents I get extract out to MP3s so all you will need to do is open them in iTunes or the QT player. The only thing to be aware of is that torrents can take a long time to get due to the quirky nature of peer-to-peer file sharing. I usually start a torrent download at night before I go to sleep and hopefully it's finished in the morning.
