Stefan sometimes talks about the steadily increasing server bills due to increasing downloads of FDR podcasts. It's great that more and more podcasts are downloaded, but the donated money that pays the server bills might be used for other purposes if we reduce the load on the FDR servers. Here is a solution how we can reduce those bills. Torrent RSS Feeds to FDR Volumes · Volume 1 bitlove.org/freedomain_radio_torrent/volume_1/feed · Volume 2 bitlove.org/freedomain_radio_torrent/volume_2/feed · Volume 3 bitlove.org/freedomain_radio_torrent/volume_3/feed · Volume 4 bitlove.org/freedomain_radio_torrent/volume_4/feed · Volume 5 bitlove.org/freedomain_radio_torrent/volume_5/feed · Latest Podcasts bitlove.org/freedomain_radio_torrent/latest/feed The Easy Way to Listen and Share · Download and Install the open source Miro player available for Windows and Mac OSX. If you use the Miro website to download, you will encounter an installer that tries to install additional crapware. So just use the links provided in this bullet point. · After the installation go to "Sidebar" > "Add Podcast" and paste this URL bitlove.org/freedomain_radio_torrent/latest/feed · To start listening you just need to press "download" and then "play", · If you pause or switch to another podcast episode, the Miro player will remember the played position of your previous podcasts. · After you downloaded podcasts the Miro player will automatically upload your downloaded podcasts to other listeners. · The Miro player syncs with your Android and Kindle Fire devices. The Benefits · The FDR podcasts are stored decentralized on the listeners hard drives – a backup in case anything happens to the FDR servers. The decentralized system works quite similar to the Bitcoin network. · You get to give back to the community by letting your PC/Mac upload Podcasts to other listeners. · We help to reduce FDR’s server bills. The Disadvantages · You have to use a podcast software that supports BitTorrent, for example the Miro Player, but there are also other P2P players for Windows, Android, Mac and Linux. · You can not use your usual podcast player or site like iTunes, Stitcher or other Browser-based podcast services to download. After you downloaded a podcast, you can of course play it back with any MP3 compatible player. The Way to Listen and Share for Advanced Bittorrent Users · Use your preferred BitTorrent client to add the RSS Feed bitlove.org/freedomain_radio_torrent/latest/feed · You can also find a complete list and add torrents individually on this website bitlove.org/freedomain_radio_torrent How It Works Have your heard of BitTorrent? The FDR podcasts are shared in a peer to peer BitTorrent network. The website Bitlove.org creates torrents out of podcasts, it creates torrent RSS feeds out of podcast feeds. The feeds that I link to contain hundreds of torrents, each torrent is a Podcast. The torrents are downloading fast since currently the regular FDR servers are part of the P2P network. Other FDR Torrents · Somebody uploaded all the podcasts up to show 2299 in 22 packages. Robert Rak summarized the torrents here https://board.freedomainradio.com/topic/39836-fdrpodcastscom-official-launch/?p=365010 (They are grouped by the hundreds. Package 3 thus includes podcast 300-399) · Somebody uploaded all the podcasts in 7 packages up to show 2728. You can look it up here thepiratebay.se/user/FDRURL. I waited up to an hour until these torrents started downloading. · One advantage of the Bitlove "Latest Podcasts Feed" is that it includes always the 250 most current podcasts.
