Interested in a 3gig torrent of free music?

SXSW (South by Southwest) is an annual music (and other) festival in its 21st year in Austin that runs from March 9 to 18 and features "...more than 150 panels, 200 films and 1,400 music acts at some 60 venues". Two years ago, said festival started torrenting a single song from any band performing there that wanted to supply one. The torrent was around 3.8gig, IIRC. I wasn't able to find a torrent of last year's event, but this year they are back.

The torrent info is here: http://2007.sxsw.com/toolbox/

No hurry, a DVD whenever would be fine. My ISP is pretty flaky, I don't know yet if I'll be able to get the torrent for this year.

My snail mail addr will be on its way shortly!
