    "number 1 in lossy recordings"

    I can't find any lossy recordings at U2torrents or The Traders Den Still right.

    And U2torrents or The Traders Den don't store bootlegs, they offer them through seeders, if no seeders are available you get nothing. With us, you can always get what you want.

    Yes and No, I was referring to 2 different things:
    1st: Being the No.1 on lossy recordings is nothing I'd advertise with... too many tapers pissed.
    2nd: No. 1 in collecting links and reupload them, I'd agree on that. Nothing more, nothing less.

    My bad, I confused lossy with losless...excuse moi. About the rest, you're right too. Because of the lack of seeders, I stopped with U2Torrents. Considering all this...U2Start will be the biggest in the very near future for all kinds of formats. (and with that, I just mean the video-bootlegs and losless stuff need to grow)

    We put a lot of work in labelling bootlegs with the correct lineage, taper information, rating sound quality, judging upgrades, making bootlegs available on more sources etc. etc. It it was just collecting links and reupload them, things would've been easier for us Little more credit is deserved, the crew works a lot to get things as organised as possible. And all for free.

    It can't be underestimated, maintaining the biggest bootleg collection.
  5. Oh and yes, we will respect more of the taper's wishes with this new lossless stuff.

    I don't mean to say that you guys don't put a bunch of work on this. I know you do. What I mean is, that this site produced nothing new. Everything was available before, you were just clever enough to throw all this together. No harm intended.

    See, that's the main point we disagree on. I don't see the need to serve people everything on a silver plate and drag people away from other sites while you are a service guy. Nothing wrong with that, just different ideas.

    and some clever sod bottled water to and did very well for himself. Simple ideas are often the most successful


  10. Absolutely true.
    I just like to see people making an effort to get the things they want. Makes things more "precious"

    I want to have a website that is a great use to me and maybe to other U2 fans too. After all, U2start is still started because of the need I had myself, I want to make U2 stuff accessable to people who can't find or use difficult other websites.

    And it's not dragging people away from other sites, people can choose what they will visit themselves, if they like this place more than others, then others need to keep improving Majority of the U2 website is still hanging in the nineties. I'm a business man too, I want to have the best website of the internet. That's with all the websites I created. I'm never satisfied and still have a list of a dozen things I want for this website

    Thanks for your feedback though, even though we disagree, I still appreciate it a lot.
