I was busily downloading the most recent album that Steven put online for his Hopeful Machines project, and had tired of the slow slow slow browser downloading, and had resorted to wget from the command line to grab the files in the background so that my browser would remain functional. I found myself wishing that there was a torrent available for the album so that I could grab the album and help speed up others’ transfers by seeding the file further.

Not believing in wishes as an effective medium of communication, I embarked on a mission to create the torrent files myself, and have now uploaded individual torrents for each of the freely available albums, as well as a big, 800+ MB archive of all ten of the available albums;

Clicking on any of the above images will download a .torrent file which you will then need to feed into your favourite bittorrent client (Transmission for Mac / BSD / Linux, uTorrent for Windows) to start the downloading magic.

If you like what you hear, visit Hopeful Machines and maybe slip a little something into the paypal tip jar to egolikeness@egolikeness.com
