Not that I know of, but when I became a member, it took about 7-8 weeks before I was lucky and could register.

You just have to continue trying, sooner or later you will make it.
Demonoid also have invites, Dimeadozen does not.

i'd like to help you but to be honest, I got lucky!
I got in on my second try...took a total of 10 minutes for both attempts.

Here is how to do it:
1) try when the US is sleeping (e.g. 7 am GMT)
2) check on the web page the time and frequency at which the
tracker is updated.As far as I remember it is each 10 minutes at, e.g.
17h46, 17h56, ....
3) get the most accurate time possible on your computer:
use a universal time website
4)empty your navigator cache and configure it as "updated each time
the page is viewed)
5) go to the dime webpage
6) at exactly e.g. 7h16 click on the account/signup scrolldown
7) if a page asking you for your username/password appears
you are done, now you can take your time
8) if it does not work empty your cache and try 10 minutes later

Yeah, just keep on trying... and trying... and trying. It took me at least 6 or 7 attempts before I was able to get through.

And be aware... They are VERY strict about keeping your upload / download ratios up to par - otherwise they lock you out and your efforts in getting in will be wasted.

Good luck - they've got some really great stuff there!!!

For everybody who doesn't have: There are two torrents on Trader's Den:

- A Walk With The Velvet Underground (5CD-Set)

- Searching For My Mainline (3CD-Set)

The two torrents immediately above have been removed by the mods at Trader's Den but have reappeared at ZOMB:

I successfully continued my downloads re-using the chunks I already had.

That's the way Bit Torrent works!

-a rare, amazing-sounding mix of Foggy Notion (this isn't the version from "17 Demos")-

Would you guys agree with me that this is by far the best-sounding version of Foggy Notion?

Caught Between The Twisted Stars is for download on Traders' Den

Caught Between The Twisted Stars has also been re-seeded on Dime. The package is slightly different (different folder name, no cover art and different .txt file) so you need to do a bit of copying or renaming if you wish to switch tracker. The Flac files are all the same though I jumped to 99% complete by copying them across to the new folder.

Too bad Melody Laughter was omitted on both torrents.

Could anyone help and share a FLAC file of the Caught Between The Twisted Stars version of Melody Laughter? Through yousendit maybe? That would be fantastic...

Thanks!
