For the past six years, one Nine Inch Nails fan has been working tirelessly on a massive downloadable archive of audio from almost every NIN concert since 1988. Now, just in time for the holiday season, the NIN Drive 2.0 torrent is available for download.
Containing audio from over 600 concerts, the drive contains 527 GB of Nine Inch Nails from 900 different audio sources. Reflecting in the Chrome, the fan website organizing the collection, recommends a 750 GB harddrive, at minimum, to store the entire archive and any future updates that might be made available.
While you can also find download the archive straight from the website, the quality of audio files in the torrent are better than on the website. Most of the files are FLAC, and the website curator says he is working hard on upgrading the remaining mp3 files.
You can also mail your harddrive to the site's webmaster, Ryan, and he will add the collection to your harddrive for free as long as you handle the return postage. If that's not badass, then I don't know what is.
No clue whether or not Trent Reznor actually endorses this project, so it might be wise to go ahead and download this bad boy before it ends up disappearing off the 'net.
For more information on the massive project and to get in touch with the site about getting a drive or contributing to the project, head to NINLive.com. To snag the full torrent, head here.
