Background

Quoted from Great community-related news :-)

Torrent & OGG situation : Both of these features are currently semi-broken, and too expensive to maintain (both in time & $) for us compared to their usage ratio. So! We'll take an "intelligent" approach for both:

  1. Torrent seeding will be officially stopped, but we'll continue to generate .torrents with open trackers, that will be accessible with the API like they currently are. It will be up for those of you who want to to continue seeding them, and possibly using them in third party clients. However since every album is available for direct download on the website, we're not sure if that will be useful. Time will tell.
  2. Ogg support : We've acknowledged the pro-OGG voices on the forum ; So here's our proposal : contact us if you have an idle linux server (some of you already did), and we'll setup a Jamendo OGG miror on it. That way we'll continue generating OGGs but won't host them ourselves as long as there is enough support from volunteers to help. An "OGG fans" group will be created to coordinate this.
  3. At the moment, a community effort is underway to resume the seeding of all of Jamendo's music in OggVorbis format. Though this is still work in progress, you can find out more about it (and even already get a few torrents) at http://jamendo.tisys.org/.
