Now there's support for anti-ad, continuous searching, new codec previews, etc. If it's music you're wanting, Soulseek is definitely the way to go. I would say Napster, even at it's peak, didn't compare to this utility in it's current state. I wish I had some way to hack into this msn modem of mine and get rid of the NAT firewall so I could host my own ftp, I've got about 20 gigs of orb stuff that I really want to put out there... Let me know if you are looking for something in particular and I'll see if I've got it and if I can somehow put it up on my web. If you're just looking for the working Orb MP3 sites -- these are the ones I check out frequently: Site Label: DJRenigade HostName: 24.175.202.170 (you have to email rmstringer and ask for a user name and password -- I think orb/orb is working now...?) Site Label: Chris Dawson HostName: Kohdaw.zapto.org Orb/orb Site Label: moondog's HostName: 68.5.183.231 Orb/orb (down for some reason but usually up and working) There's a few others out there but like you, I've never had any luck getting on them long enough to grab anything. I've still about 20 files in my cuteftp queue that have been sitting for weeks, waiting to complete:( jeff -----Original Message----- From: orb-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:orb-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of john bennett Sent: Saturday, April 19, 2003 4:11 PM To: What were the skies like when you wereyoung?
