1. Explain Pain David Butler

This tutorial assumes you know very little about torrenting. Note that torrenting itself is legal, and most of the Dead related sites have all legal torrents.I also assume you can hear the difference between lossy files (mp3) and lossless. That's the point after all. If you can't hear the difference there's no hope for ya.Abstract overview: when you download files via a torrent, you aren't getting them from any one site. You're getting them from other users. When you complete downloading a fileset, you then are sharing or 'seeding' to everyone else that's downloading.So first you need a torrent app and some bandwidth.There are many free torrent apps.

I have used utorrent on Windows for years and haven't found anything I like better:I used Transmission for Mac for a bit. Right now I don't torrent on my mac so I don't know if there's anything better.Setting up the torrent app to work right can be a bit of a pain.

Once you get it set up it works easily though. One thing I like about utorrent is that it has a nice setup wizard that actually seems to work. There's lots of support forums and stuff for various torrent apps so I'm not gonna get into that here.OK so now you have a torrent app set up, now you need a 'tracker'A tracker is a website where people post and download torrent links.

The easiest, public site for GD, JGB, Phish, Furthur, and all other legally traded sources is:Another really great tracker is Workingman's Tracker. You don't need an invite to join, you just apply and then have to convince some guy you're human and not a robot. Totally GD specific, super kind vibe. Works the best if you're just picking up whatever is currently being seeded, as opposed to looking back for specific shows.is another membership only tracker that has is GD/Jerry centric, but has a wide variety of other stuff too. I think you need an invite to join, sorry I don't have one to offer at this time.Demonoid is an easy place to download official releases, if you do that sort of thing.Regardless of which tracker you use you just click on the DL link to grab the '.torrent' file, or click on the name of the fileset to go to a details page with more info and the.torrent file link at the top.The first time you do this you'll have to show the OS which program to use to open the file.Important distinction that seems to confuse a lot of people - the.torrent file you download from the tracker IS NOT THE MUSIC. The music is in the 'fileset.' The fileset includes some number of FLAC or SHN files that can be converted to music, plus usually a text file and some other related technical bits.

The.torrent file just tells your program which fileset to get. So once you add the.torrent file to your app, the fileset, with the music in it, will start downloading.Once the fileset starts downloading, it takes anywhere from an hour or so to a couple days to complete.

Explain Pain aims to give clinicians and people in pain the power to challenge pain and to consider new models for viewing what happens during pain. Once they have learnt about the processes involved they can follow a scientific route to recovery. Noigroup Publications (2003).

This just depends on how many people are seeding it, how much bandwidth they have, and how many other people are downloading at the same time. Heavily seeded shows, the ones that are most recent on all the above trackers, generally pull very very fast.So now you have some FLAC or SHN filesFirst of all, you can actually play FLACs directly, using Foobar for Windows.

But if you want to bring them into iTunes etc you will need to convert them. You use a separate program for that.On windows I like Trader's Little HelperOn Mac I used to use xACT but I hear that XLD is more the way to go these days.Basically you drop the FLAC or SHN files on the converter app and tell it where to put the output (usually WAV files by default).Then you import the resulting files into iTunes or whatever program you use, and you're all set: full lossless CD quality shows.I know all the above sounds like a pain in the ass, and if you only want a show or two, maybe it is. But if you think you might want more than a few shows, it's well worth the time getting the hang of it. Once you get used to it it's no problem.apologies in advance for all the details I have assuredly omitted, and thanks in advance to anyone with details or suggestions to add. I am always baffled why any Dead fan wouldn't be a torrenting expert.

Too much good material out there that would go unlistened. I check eTree every day for new uploads as well as a half dozen other trackers.But.I also assume you can hear the difference between lossy files (mp3) and lossless. That's the point after all. If you can't hear the difference there's no hope for ya.I disagree with this.

Lossless are great for archiving and a protection against future change in codecs, etc. Pretty much every blind audio test shows that the difference between Lossless and V0 is indiscernible.I have many tracks with Foobar with a FLAC and a V0 or 320, and have a 50/50 chance of correctly identifying. I've done the same with many audiophile friends of mind and they too have been unable to pick the lossless file.Nevertheless, I do have several TB's of Lossless files as that is what you primarily find in the torrenting world of the Dead.(Now of course, the same can't be said with 64 or 128kbps bitrate MP3's). The amount of difference depends rather strongly on a few factors. The biggest two are the quality of the sound system and the original source file type.Compression has much less noticeable effect on very clean sources, more noticeable effect on hissy sources, and very dramatic effect on most audience recordings (since these generally have some level of phasing, which can become distortion under compression).The quality of your audio gear makes a huge difference too.

I'm not talking real audiophile gear, just once you cross that range into solid mid-fi gear it gets a lot easier to hear the difference.It's also a thing where once you know what to listen for you can't 'unhear' it very easily. I specifically mean the loss of resolution in really round bass notes and the sharp clarity in parts of the high end, as well as stereo imaging in some cases.I've done a lot of side by side tests as well and have found that the difference is pretty large in a lot of the cases I care about.But it is strictly a YMMV thing, going lossless isn't worth it to everyone. Yeah some people say that, I've had this discussion a lotAll I know is that I'm pretty sure I hear the difference. I think a lot of the time it's super obvious in the Phil regions of the mix. In fact when I go back and forth, a lot of the time it's so obvious to me that it baffles me that people say they can't hear it. My hearing's not that great or anything.Basically when I turn the Denon up loud, mp3s don't bark or bite for me.they lack crispness, imaging and definition.but it's strictly YMMV. It's fine if you can't hear it.

But I can, and I know plenty of others who can.
