Galloway Downloads Problem - Missing Talksport Episodes

GallowGiant · Post by **GallowGiant** » Sat Feb 09, 2013 9:06 pm

Hi, I don't know who else to go to about this (there was no direct email on the galloway page) but I was looking at the galloway podcasts and all the ones on mediafire seem to be gone. In fact I think most of them are gone except the WBAI podcasts. I'd very much like it if the admin could please re-post the old episodes? I've just found out about Galloway from the WBAI podcasts and have heard a few of his talksport shows (but most them are missing, as in the links don't work to download them). I'd very much like to especially download the ones from between 2009 to 2011. If this is not possible could you please torrent them as this would be possibly easier?

Mediafire closed my account on a spurious claim about a file. They lied about it being subject to a DMCA claim. They're just typical lying corporate scum, so I've started redoing the pages with other links.

So far July and August 2006, July 2007, and all pages from November 2011 until present are fixed. I've also been adding all Comment and Real Deal shows into monthly playlists so the the pages load quicker. On that note I removed the smooth motion in the navigation box, so that should speed things up too.

I think mediafire is pretty much scared of what happened to Kim Dotcom (Megaupload guy) - but don't really know whats been going on there. Maybe they, as you say, are scum and are acting a bit zealous. Is it not possible to get another account with them? (forgive me for being ignorant if I am - but isn't uploading to their site free?) Also, still, no thoughts about torrenting them..?

They profitted from hundreds of thousands of ads on my uploads, yet say I was breaching copyright on a file which I know they didn't receive a complaint about. Bollocks to them.

I won't be making a torrent - it would be 35gb just for the talksport shows meaning it would be highly unlikely for many people to keep that seeding, but also because the point is that people come here and share something in return.

I've updated pages back to March 2011 now. Some pages don't have download links, but the streams work.

pages back to October 2010 sorted.

I'll do more during the week. Kiwi6.com is working nicely

Oh cool! Thanks for updating the ones you've done so far. Just a little question but see the ones that are streamed for 2011? Would it be possible to download them? If not could you recommend any audio ripping software?

Oh by the way I just heard Galloway mention your site on his talksport show. I thought he was unaware of you. Looks like MediaFire were acting like douches after all. I can hardly imagine Galloway reporting you - or for that matter any of his former staff at the radio station, especially if he himself promoted your site.

Hi Faceless, thanks for updating the podcasts! Is the website going to close soon for good? ;__;

Post by **faceless** » Mon Apr 22, 2013 3:36 pm

This website? No, it should be here for the next few years at least (it's now, in this form, 8 years old). But it runs completely from donations, so if you want to send something the link is on the GG archive pages.
