I like Trent Reznor’s approach and embrace of digital downloading. I like it so much that I decided to fork out $5 for the full version of his just -released Ghosts I-IV, the instrumental album he just popped onto the internets this morning. I like financially supporting music that tries to push the sales model like Reznor has been doing, and after downloading the Niggy Tardust album a while ago, I expected the process to go seamlessly.
Well, not so much.
The parts where I entered credit card information and his site billed me went flawlessly, but actually getting the disc to download has so far been impossible. Is anyone else encountering this problem? It’s disheartening because I SO want to see this sort of thing succeed,but in order to get folks — even me — to pay for music you’re going to have to ensure the process you have in place for downloading will actually work.
i still have never seen NIN live.
I have the exact same issue as you
Been trying all damn day.
same probs here… connections are dropping, and doing a resume transfer more than like 4 times, and the site says you’ve downloaded it too much, although no one time was even near the total byte count… this is in contrast to radiohead’s slow but amazingly resilient process… whoever did the NIN site should go back to their own personal blog and post funny cat pictures and feel sad that they tried to be clever

Didn’t have a care in the world. Just lucky I guess :) Got it all unzipped and in my Winamp.
