All recordings from the 1983-1984 Construction Time Again Tour are streamable and downloadable. Not all torrents are being seeded as many are still uploading to the torrent server, but you can add any torrents you want to your torrent client and the download will proceed once the upload to my server is finished.
March 5, 2015
All recordings through the 1982-1983 A Broken Frame Tour are now streamable in their entirety (including DVDs) as well as by each individual track. Torrents should download much quicker now. If you were in the process of downloading a torrent, please re-download the torrent from the recording's page and start again. Sorry for any inconvenience. Please email me if you are still having trouble downloading torrents. I'm working on getting the CTA, SGR, and "A Night With Martin L. Gore" tours up - they will be streamable & downloadable within the next couple weeks.

Torrents are being seeded again, but I have a paltry 1Mbps connection (around 120KBps). I will explore seedbox options and possibly direct-download links; if you know of a seedbox or file host who offers 750GB+ of storage for a reasonable price, please email me! Until then, I do apologize for the slow download speeds.
September 10, 2014
You may experience difficulty downloading torrents at the moment. All recordings are currently hosted from the webmaster's home connection. He is in the middle of moving and there is no internet at his apartment yet. Please be patient, hopefully the recordings will be seeded again by this weekend. In a month or two, we will switch to a seedbox in order to allow very high availability of the recordings as well as greatly increased download speeds.
