Your excistense is enought to convince me! :-)

I try again, it's downloading with 4.3 K/s at the moment, so ETA is more that 
14 hours.

If you are concerned about file sizes, then this tip may be the best lossless 
way to ship big sound files:

Convert every track to flac (with flac -8) and pack them in a tar file (or for 
example a non compressed zip file if tar confuses people). I have tried with 
rar, 7-zip and of course tar.bz2, but maximum compression with flac is the 
best I have gone so far when packing multi track files.

..ah, ETA is now 10h and 47 minutes (if the download goes well), things are 
getting better ;-)
