v.2 of the sound samples torrent is now available [http://www.mininova.org/tor/1564237 '''via Mininova''']. It includes all available 44kHz sound samples, including the ones missing from the original torrent. Note that while many of the links below will take you to the Internet Archive for direct downloads, a number of them are still broken, as they refer to the original download site; those files can be retrieved from the above torrent. |
|||
Dear site visitors, thanks to tremendous interest in these files, we are currently moving them to more dedicated servers. We transmitted 5TB of sound sample a day for two days last week... In the meantime, v.1 of the 44kHz samples (with 80% of the files) can be downloaded via [http://www.mininova.org/tor/1276284 '''this BitTorrent tracker''']. Many of the samples have now been linked at the Internet Archive, but there is also a list of links that have not yet been moved to the Internet Archive. |
|||
Note : the Mininova link seems to be broken, so here is a other : [http://torrage.com/torrent/451CBCFF17735372DFB7683A57FC08F33F7B05B2.torrent '''via Torrage'''] |
|||
v.2 contains 8458 (!) samples, occupying an uncompressed total of over 8GiB (!!) of space, contained in nearly 6GiB of ZIP files. |
|||
A third link for the torrent, this time using a Magnet URI (copy and paste this into your browser address bar or open it with your BitTorrent application): |

Note that v.2 and v.1 of the torrent are '''completely compatible'''; you can copy over the files from the original torrent into the directory for the new one, eliminating the need to redownload files you already have (and helping the seeding process to all of the folks who didn't get the original one).

v.2 of the sound samples torrent is now available via Mininova. It includes all available 44kHz sound samples, including the ones missing from the original torrent. Note that while many of the links below will take you to the Internet Archive for direct downloads, a number of them are still broken, as they refer to the original download site; those files can be retrieved from the above torrent. Note : the Mininova link seems to be broken, so here is a other : via Torrage v.2 contains 8458 (!) samples, occupying an uncompressed total of over 8GiB (!!) of space, contained in nearly 6GiB of ZIP files.
A third link for the torrent, this time using a Magnet URI (copy and paste this into your browser address bar or open it with your BitTorrent application):

Note that v.2 and v.1 of the torrent are completely compatible; you can copy over the files from the original torrent into the directory for the new one, eliminating the need to redownload files you already have (and helping the seeding process to all of the folks who didn't get the original one). The same can be done with the ZIP files downloaded from the links below.
