All right guys...calm down here.  Peaches, are you having problems with downloading the files or actually playing them on your computer?  The files are meant to be downloaded first with a program called "bit torrent."  Do a search and you'll find a site where you can download the program...it's small.  Once you have it installed, you can then click on the links they provide and download the files.<br><br>Once downloaded, you'll need an audio player (like winamp) and the plugins for the respective file formats.  The popular file formats that are in use on that site are .flac and .shn.  You can also find these files by doing an internet search.  <br><br>There are also other threads on that website where you can add your name to a list and people will pass a copy of a show on to you and you, in turn, pass it on to the next person on the list. <br><br>Hope this helps...<br><br>And, BTW Vincent, this is a fabulous find.  You're right, not only does it have a good amount of rare Zappa, it's got a lot of other material...it's like a meeting place to traders.  <br>
