Often times, new visitors to So Many Roads ask why numerous old posts have dead links. The answer is simple. First, given that we have over 5000 shows posted on this site, it is next to impossible to keep all the links active, That would be a full time job and nothing new would get posted. Second, and maybe more important, the free download hosts that I use simply do not store files for more than 30 to 60 days. And believe me, I have tried countless ones over the year - from the original Megaupload to Zippyshare to Sendspace to Workupload to Solidfiles to our latest, Mirrored.to. All have their pro's and con's, but none that I know of keep free files for more than 1 or 2 months.
All that said, if you are looking for a re-up of a show, feel free to leave a request in the comments section of the post. We have a formal re-post policy here at So Many Roads (see sidebar) which really consists of just 2 things:
- Please be polite when you ask for a re-post. Leaving a coment like "Dead Link" is a statement of fact, not a request. I really do appreciate a "please" or a "thanks in advance" as part of your request. A little kindness goes a long way.
- Please don't ask me to re-post every show by a particular artist. Remember, you're not the only person asking. I can handle requests for a a show a week (and you are welcome to come back the next week and ask for another, etc.), but if you are asking me to re-post dozens of dead links, I simply won't be able to handle that.
I hope all the above helps! Remember - be kind and enjoy the tunz!
