Torrent only sadly.

Here's the spiel - "[PRO MUSICIAN, PERCUSSION, SAMPLES] Recorded in his local church in Grebbestad, Sweden by music producer Tobias Marberger, this set of CC-licensed music samples (available in two separate torrents, with either the original .WAV files with separate EXS24 soft sampler patches, or as .GIG Gigastudio-formatted versions) should be invaluable to amateur and professional musicians alike - includes anvil, snare, wood stick, hihat, brushplate, bongos, piano, organ, mandolin, glockenspiel, flute, many other instruments. "

Here's the link - http://www.legaltorrents.com/ (it's on the page, no way to link directly to anything but the torrents themselves.)

Hope someone finds good use for this, and yes, like the link says, it's 100% legal.

Here's another Creative Commons related site some people may be interested in - http://ccmixter.org/

Distribtion via P2P is good for the freeware community. It allows generous developer and designers share their creations withot any significant costs.
This way the users actually pay for bandwidth - as it should be.

I agree completely. Downloading torrents has never been a problem for me (obvious situations where it would be are 0 seeder situations or people who aren't familiar with port forwarding.) But http downloading.........my god, where do i start

For anyone unfamiliar with torrents, here's a quick summing up. Http downloading (if that's even the proper term....."normal" downloading) usually equates slower download speeds (the connections become throttled as more people download.) but the opposite happens with torrents, the more downloaders the FASTER things go as all the "weight" is distributed intelligently between the peers/seeds (taking for granted there's at least one good seeder.) It's a great thing that has sadly been tainted by warez people (but on the other hand, made so popular "thanks" to them.) but more legal uses are called for, so many sites exceed their bandwidth unecessarily due to the slow uptake of (legal) torrent usage.

Thanks! I hadn't heard of this.

The above links are dead so I did some googling and found the current info page. Their Torrent link is inactive as of today BUT the Direct Links to the Giga zip file as well as the EXS+WAV project zip are live as of right now, and they are very fast downloads.

The info page...
