 | A lot of high profile bands on the internet have a "hub" this is a real time log on - where people can download music from each other.
For instance everyone has heard of Napster and Kazaa?
It works the same except it is a private place where only us Paul Simon fans log on. On oyur hard drive you place a folder to share songs and people can download from each other over the connection.
The other benefit is a chat room where you can discuss the downloads, make requests and just chat generally.
The best example I have found is one for the Scottish band Travis. You can get an example here http://www.travishub.com/. They are the best I have found because they allow anyone to go there even if they don?t have anything to trade yet.
You just need to download the software DC+ +.
The only problem I can forsee is that we are only a small group of fans and therefore it?d be hard to log on and find what we wanted all the time - as opposed to if there were hundreds of us. To get around that problem we could arrange certain times when we all log on and share so we get the hightest download speeds and most choice.
Would anybody be interested in setting one of these up?

| Hi, Matthew. Just had a look at the Travis Hub site. Not quite sure how it works yet. How could a Hub site be made for S&G PS fans?

| It?s a little more complicated than just setting up I?m afraid but would be worth it if we could do so. the site link to Travis is just the wbe page with information about the hub, everyone downloads a piece of software called DC + + to connect to the hub.
The problem is setting up the hub. It seems a little complicated but i?m sure if we all put our minds together or one of us who knows about these things could help??
There is info at this site http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/ and also in its FAQ section
by the way if anyone is interested in trading with me by post contact me at
