BitTorrent link for the full album
If you want to save all the servers currently churning this album out some stress, here's a BitTorrent link for the album.

BitTorrent link removed at the end of Grey Tuesday

If oyu don't know what BitTorrent is, son't sweat it. The MP3s are still up for download.

As of 11:17, 21 unique ip's have hit the ol' apache. keep 'em coming. :)

they're all 192kbps, except for track 12 which is 224kbps, curiously enough...

I can't vouch for the BT link, though. I got my copy from a link on greytuesday.org

I'm really slow, but intrigued. Can someone explain what exactly the grey album is? I've heard much about it...just don't quite grasp it. Thanks!

To quote greytuesday.org:

"DJ Danger Mouse created a remix of Jay-Z's the Black Album and the Beatles White Album, and called it the Grey Album. Jay-Z's record label, Roc-A-Fella, released an a capella version of his Black Album specifically to encourage remixes like this one. But despite praise from music fans and major media outlets like Rolling Stone ("an ingenious hip-hop record that sounds oddly ahead of its time") and the Boston Globe (which called it the "most creatively captivating" album of the year), EMI has sent cease and desist letters demanding that stores destroy their copies of the album and websites remove them from their site. EMI claims copyright control of the Beatles 1968 White Album.

Danger Mouse’s album is one of the most "respectful" and undeniably positive examples of sampling; it honors both the Beatles and Jay-Z. Yet the lawyers and bureaucrats at EMI have shown zero flexibility and not a glimmer of interest in the artistic significance of this work. And without a clearly defined right to sample (e.g. compulsory licensing), the five major record labels will continue to use copyright in a reactionary and narrowly self-interested manner that limits and erodes creativity. Their actions are also self-defeating: good new music is being created that people want to buy, but the major labels are so obsessed with hoarding their copyrights that they are literally turning customers away."

Probably the most popular grey album torrent on the net right now - very speedy.

I do not understand why you removed the torrent, it makes no sense. If you believe that grey album should be freely distributed online, then why confine this to one day? it made some sense when putting the album available on your servey, due to bandwidth cost issues. but the link? no sense
