  1. If he asks tomorrow too within the hour, we're gonna have to ban him until all Letterman shows are over
  2. I think there needs to be a 48-hour release freeze (promos, proper shows, appearances). If the performance has just been on, don't request it for 48 hours as we'll get numerous rips, upgrades and whatever in various formats and bitrates - it all becomes too confusing (not to mention annoying to the crew) to add each and every time, and examine the quality and the rest.

    And that's going to be bad for this upcoming tour. It was much the same during the last tour as well. To get a decent rip and video, usually takes at least 24 hours - I'm sure we can wait a little while for each performance to show up, to pace ourselves. You don't want five rips at once.

    Although if you want to upload a show immediately, go for it. Nobody's gonna complain, but make sure it's at least decent quality - and we follow the original upgrade rules - lineage (if possible at all) and 192Kbps MP3 or FLAC or better.

    Yep, request thread: http://www.u2start.com/topic/5186/
    - If you want to request recordings of dates that are less than 48 hours ago, then be patient. It's not allowed to post requests for dates that just have been passed. Tapers need to have some time to get everything together. And even then, we have eyes too and you can trust that we will get new stuff online asap.

    We should post these rules in every bootleg topic, you're right. It's nuts to ask for media within a few hours.


  6. If we can get it immediately, then that should be alright (like from YouTube). But if it's an actual audience or soundboard taping, just don't keep flooding topics or the forum with questions "When's it coming?", "How long to get this show", "When will it be uploaded / released / torrented etc?" Just that sort of thing.

    Thanks for the upgrade by the way.

    Sure, thanks! Needed to know if this was Youtube or right from TV. I will add it, and put a note next to it. In a few hours we will have the broadcast rip I think.

    Yes, it is good to help...

    I think we'll have a great broadcast rip soon... Like the last night...


  10. Absolutely, we will have HQ audio and video of every show, we will have a great archive at the end of the week Plus hopefully some good GMA recordings too.

    Thanks for helping ethan, great! Always appreciated, we can't do it here without all the help.


  11. The main thing is, if you can help out, then that's great stuff - at least people can have a shot of it.

    So, let's wait for the next night... And for this HQ audio and video...
