Download .torrentOpen 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
  1. Install a torrent client on your computer, such as qBittorrent or Transmission, from its official site.
  2. Choose Download .torrent above. This small file tells your client which files to fetch; it is not the film, book, or music itself.
  3. Open that file in your client, choose a folder with enough space for the download size shown above, and start the transfer.
  4. 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.

Copy the magnet link

Keep your torrent client open afterward to share this copy with the Den.

The Record

The recording that proved the idea. In 2010 Musopen asked Kickstarter for eleven thousand dollars to hire an orchestra and record some public-domain symphonies into the public domain — and got sixty-eight thousand, enough for the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, a string quartet and a pianist and a year of sessions. The result, released in 2012, is thirty-seven works: all four Brahms symphonies, Beethoven's Eroica and the Coriolan and Egmont overtures, Mendelssohn's Italian, Scottish and Hebrides, Tchaikovsky's Pathétique, Mozart's 40th, Vltava, Peer Gynt, seven Schubert sonatas, nine string quartets and a second, chamber-scale Goldberg. Sixteen and a half hours of the core orchestral repertoire that anyone may now use for anything.

Honest editorial: these are good, straightforward performances by a working orchestra recorded quickly, not reference readings — the Brahms is sturdy rather than searching, the quartets are the best of it. What they are is free, and for most of the uses people have (a film, a class, a slow Sunday) that is the whole question.

The copy we chose

Transfer Report

Chosen copy: Internet Archive item MusopenCollectionAsFlac, a 2012 mirror of the project's release re-encoded losslessly (the description says at 32 bits per sample, which is padding, not resolution) — 145 FLAC files in 37 work folders (Bach_GoldbergVariations/… … Tchaikovsky_SymphonyPathetique/…), 7.70 GB, about 16 h 40 min. The folder structure is part of the release and ships as-is in the multi-file torrent.

Checked against the project's own list of thirty-seven works in the item description: every work has its folder, and movement files inside each folder are numbered. The item's total is what the size guard measured. This is the largest thing on the site by a distance and a natural long-haul seed.
