Download .torrent Open magnet link

Open the .torrent file in your torrent client to start. It includes the webseed. A magnet link opens your client directly; it may need peers to find the file details. No account needed.

First download? Start here

Install a torrent client on your computer, such as qBittorrent or Transmission, from its official site.
Choose Download .torrent above. This small file tells your client which files to fetch; it is not the film, book, or music itself.
Open that file in your client, choose a folder with enough space for the download size shown above, and start the transfer.
Once it finishes, open the downloaded files. Leave the torrent in your client to share it with others.

Browsing on a phone without a torrent client? Open this title’s page on your computer to download there.

Download not starting?

If a magnet does nothing, open your client first or use Download .torrent and open the saved file from the client.
If the client is waiting for metadata, try the .torrent file. It already includes the file details and available webseed fallbacks.
Check that the torrent is not paused or queued, your destination has enough free space, and your connection is online.
A recent seeder report is not a guarantee of a connection now. Webseeds can also be temporarily unavailable; leave the client open and try again later.

You do not need an account to download.

The Record

One man in Ontario with a home studio, a self-deprecating band name and a decision, in 2001, to put the source files for every song online so anyone could remix them — years before that was a thing bands did. I Don't Know What I'm Doing collected the results in 2003: twelve tight, hooky power-pop songs with drum machines and real guitars, about anxiety and bad decisions, and a CC ShareAlike license that made Brad Sucks the most-remixed artist on ccMixter and the case study Creative Commons itself reaches for when it explains the music side. Making Me Nervous and Dirtbag are the ones people know; Overreacting is the one to play someone who thinks free music means amateur music.

Forty minutes. Turcotte has since remastered it and it is on every streaming service; this is the original release as it circulated.

The copy we chose

Transfer Report

Chosen copy: the Jamendo mirror on the Internet Archive, item jamendo-003798 — 12 MP3 files, contiguously numbered 01.mp3 … 12.mp3, 60 MB, 40 min, with the album's License.txt and Readme.txt and the cover art. The track titles are in the item description (Making Me Nervous through Work out Fine) and in the files' tags.

Checked: twelve tracks, no gaps. This is a lossy mirror; the artist's own Bandcamp offers FLAC of the remaster, which would be a different edition (and a non-Archive.org webseed, which the builder does not yet take). Staged as the copy that was actually released free in 2003.

Creative Commons

Why It's Free

Two layers, and they do not say the same thing — which is worth reading before you sell anything built from this.

The songs. Released under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0. The citation is the artist's own album page, which carried a rel="license" badge pointing at CC BY-SA 3.0 (archived June 2010), and Creative Commons' own case study on Brad Sucks. Yours to download, keep, seed, share, rework and sell, with credit to Brad Sucks; anything you build from it must carry the same license.
But the copy we seed says something older and narrower. The Jamendo export in this item carries a License.txt listing all twelve tracks and the artwork at CC BY-NC-SA 2.5 — NonCommercial, which forbids exactly the selling the later grant allows. Turcotte relicensed after the 2007 Jamendo export; a CC grant cannot be revoked, so the BY-SA 3.0 he published on his own site stands and is what the songs are offered under here. We say this plainly rather than quietly, because the license file inside your download disagrees with this page and you should know why. Corrected 2026-09-21: this entry previously cited that same License.txt as its evidence for BY-SA, which it is not.
The cover art is the NC one, and stays NC. Its only artwork-scoped grant is that License.txt line: CC BY-NC-SA 2.5, art by Allen Henderson, design by Sam Stroube. Free to share with credit, not free to sell.
Provenance. Jamendo's mirror of the artist's own upload, with his license text inside the item.
