    Ahhh! Caedmon Records! I used to borrow them from the public library. Many thanks, Rick!

      Yes, I just routinely rar all my posts placed there now.  I don't wait for them to reject them.  i just do it for all files posted on ge.tt.  In fact I may start doing it for everywhere just in case this horrible technology catches on.

    Why do the files go 1,2,then 5 were's 3,and 4 . Where are volumes 2,3,4 the reason why I ask is I like to organize my folders with the correct labeling,and this doesn't make sense to me

    Thanks

      If I didn't have so much stored on ge.tt I would quit right now.  It keeps labelling parts of posts as copyrighted and won't store them, things that are obviously otr.  I have protested them as wrong a couple of times and get no reply.  I have gone around it with a rar of all the files.  -----------  Rick

      I have had to resort to the "RAR trick" as well - a royal PITA.
