Hey, just a heads-up to check out the thread started by Clad in Shadows over at the Watering Hole. LOTS of great backing tracks! :)

Or you could just post the link so we don't have to go searching over three different forums for it...

OK, looks like this is going to be a real pain in the ass to download. Craig, if you get them downloaded, are you interested in posting them here? I can set you up with an FTP directory. Looks like this guy is using megaupload and eventually his bandwidth will get shut down. PM me if you are interested. b

I've got about 250 gig of webspace. I'll upload them just for us but it might take awhile! I'll post an update once the main batch is there (I've already put the text files and a readme up).

Over six hours of copying and there's still another two to go... 
For some reason I'm getting far below my usual upload speeds today. Two threads at a time, but only getting about 110kbs on each! WTF??! S/B between 500 and 1,000kbs on each... Bah.

It's only 11 hours later, but here's the directory with about 9 gig worth of backup files. Right-click and Save As.

yeah , the site lets you download without signing up but at a slower speed.
I had to wait several hours to get mine.
BTW the files are MOGG format ( multitrack ogg ) and can be opened , edited and exported as a wav/mp3 in AUDACITY.
Been jamming along with this stuff for more than a month.
Have fun and thanks to Craig for posting them.

If you want to download all the files in one go from Craigs webspace, I have just created a small program to download all the files (unattended).
Simply save the exe to a folder that has plenty of space to accept the download, run it and press the download button and it will do the rest.

by the way, you will probably want to empty your temporary internet files now and then whilst this program is doing its stuff as of course it is downloading using the http protocol and is therefore using the temp internet files folder for all downloads so you will end up with a duplication of files and quickly eat up disk space.
I might tweak the software tonight to do this automatically if I get time.
Done: it now empties the IE cache after each file
