Any torrent users?

Just wondered if any torrent users out there happen to be a member of pianosheets.org?

Trying to join the group but can't seem to acquire an invite.

Thanks, Mark

    Virtually anything out of copyright (Beethoven, Bach, etc) can be found at IMSLP, and can be downloaded as PDF without restriction, and without torrenting software.

    I'm not sure why the operaters of pianosheets feel that they need to torrent things, regular PDFs aren't that large....

    What kind of music are you looking for, and what are you expecting to find at pianosheets?

    I'm looking for a bit of everything really.
    My wife likes classical whilst I like pop/modern.
    The reason I was thinking if pianosheets was that I believe they have collections (by composer or music genre etc) so you don't have to search of every separate piece.

    Take a look at IMSLP for the classical stuff - they allow you to search by Composer quite easily, as well as by People, Nationality, Time period, Instrumentation/Genre or by Melody.

    But as I say, this will only get you the 50 or 70-year plus out-of-copyright material.
