Morning Discussion
In a world of confusion, ShackBlog delineates between news and blogging:

Damn, my NIN download keeps crapping out at ~10MB.
Do download resumers work with this funky link?-

Just ordered 2 of these...one as a gift for someone and one for myself...with no issues whatsoever.
Confirmation came in a few seconds and download link as well, but I don't have the bandwidth available to d/l it myself so I am having a friend burn it in the states and send it to me on a DVD.
I might have to see how big the $5 version is so I can get the damn thing ASAP and listen to it...it's killing me not being able to hear it.

Side thread: Does anyone think that maybe NIN, or maybe Radiohead, could wind up being the Steam of music distribution? Back when Steam came out it was painful for a while but then they worked it out and now they're pretty much the gold standard for digital distribution. NIN and Radiohead are artists who used to have mainstream popularity and now they're doing their own digital distribution. Trent Reznor is now producing other acts as well (Saul Williams). Maybe after these guys figure out what the kinks are in this digital distribution of music thing is (like having >160kbps, or more servers, or letting certain sites help with the dist. of the sample tracks) that they might be the go-to guys for independent digital distribution?

Steam is planning on doing music and videos http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/51482
It's only a matter of time now and I'm sure tons of indie musicians are going to jump on board. -
