Does the second batch of torrents increase?
The 1000-1600?

If so, then how do I go about downloading the new songs without downloading the torrent?

Is there an update section here or something?

PS. Sorry for being such a nub.

I'm assuming that you're saying that you have say...all the songs up to 1500 and you want the newest 100. If that's the case, you can still download the torrent and only select the newest 100 for download. Most torrent clients such as utorrent can do that.

We don't make it easy to do something like that; the mixes don't have filenames showing what their ReMix number is. However, as long as you've kept the MP3s untouched, you can download the torrent into the same folder all of those ReMixes are in, and you should be able to just pick up the new ones.

Also, the ongoing OCR01000-2000 torrent is only updated every 100 mixes. We'll be updating it soon when ReMix #1700 comes out (we're on mix #1696). To download individual tracks, get to the respective ReMix page and click the download tab. Links to DL the mix should show up.

Is there some kind of ordered list though?

Because on the preview list, it's all alphabetical and it'd be a bit hard to separate them.

Can you elaborate more?
Do I have to download the torrent containing the whole second batch of songs again?

You can also sort ReMixes by system, title, ReMixer, composer, and song length. Lurk more! Click more! :tomatoface:

How did you put that in date order?
I seriously can't find the option to..:?

Every column title up top can be clicked to sort by that parameter.

sys | title | remixer(s) / composer(s) | posted | length

Ah, I got it, thanks.

Now another question just popped up, why does it say that I have 1 unread message, when I click on private messages, I have none, I emptied out my folder and it's still there..

Hey guys, first post, long time listener.

I have a question concerning torrents, actually. I'm a pretty computer savvy guy, so I don't need to know how it works or any of that, my question is far simpler:

Do the torrent files (that is, the big ones, 1-1000 and 1001-1700) contain ALL of the OCRemix songs on the site (excluding the ones in between the updates, a la 1709 or 1734)? That is, if I download those two torrents, do I have everything OCR has to offer?

And since I'm typing out questions, how do you guys keep the torrents organized? If I've downloaded 1-1000 once and you guys update the other to 1001-1800, I don't need to download 1-1000 again, do I? I read above that you don't make it easy to simply download the newest 100 (something I'm not sure I understand), but surely the complete big groups (the 1000s) are not messed around with at each update?

Sorry if any of this is confusing...it's like, 5 in the morning. :-/

[Edit:]

Woah for two reasons:

1) This is a sizable bump. Didn't realize that it had been a good month and a half since this thread was active.
2) The standard layout for the page has newer posts at the top. What a mindfuck.

1. You will have downloaded all the main OCReMixes since the last update. You won't have downloaded the project albums, which their own individual torrents.

2. The 1-1000 torrent will remain unchanged until they decide to merge at a later date, (probably to 1-2000). They don't mess with it

One last question, then:

If I download every torrent, will that mean I've downloaded everything OCR has to offer (once again, not including the songs between the updates, a la 1734)?
