NEWS

Happy Halloween everyone. No new updates, but we do have a ton of new members!

2008.06.17

No we are not dead, the project is still alive and kicking. There have been many people inquiring into the project, hopefully some of them will join the project. We will have an update in the next few weeks if all goes as planned. Until then, you can check out what is going to change on the next update by going to the updates page.

2008.04.01

Another update, Geordy has pretty much been running the show the last two updated. We will have at least one new Tool Drive member soon as well!

2008.03.08

Another update, nothing else to say.

2008.02.09

Two new members and a big update is now up!

2008.01.07

Yesterday was the first update of the year! We also have a few new people getting ready to join the project, so stay tuned. Hopefully 2008 will be a great year for the Project. Happy New Year to all!

2007.12.13

We have some shows coming in slowly. There will be an update after the new year. Hopefully a few more sources will be out there by then. Remember to download the checksums for each year as well, it will take some time to verify each year.

2007.10.15

It is finally update time, and it is a whopping 13.7GB to boot! Checksums can be found on the listings page at the beginning of each year. There is also a checksum for the newest update as well, so that you can verify that you have successfully downloaded everything. If your drive is really behind on updates, consider sending it off to someone who is caught up!

2007.09.14

New update coming soon, and with it a change in procedure. We will be keeping md5 checksums in each directory, with new ones available after each update. This will help ensure that everyone has the exact same drive. The md5's will be available on the TDP Hub and on the listings page at the beginning of each year.

2007.09.02

Happy Labor Day everyone. As you may have noticed, the Tool Drive Project Hub has been down for a little while. This has caused some people to be a little backed up on updates. We are planning on getting the hub back up in the next couple of weeks and it should be a little more stable. A big thanks to jcrab66 for all his hard work on that front. There are a few shows coming in slowly, but nothing too out of control.

2007.07.07

A new update is here, and we have a new member, Freutsi, in Bavaria! Also, the size of the drive has been updated on the about page.

2007.07.04

Happy 4th to everyone. A new update is coming very very soon, this one is going to pull in at around 15gb, so be prepared. All of these 24 bit sources take up a lot of space. We should also have a new member from France soon. The incoming page has been removed, as it really was not being used, and in it's place, all of the older updates have been put in the oldupdates page.

2007.06.11

It is update time! We have more shows coming, but this is it for now!

2007.05.22

OK, so it has been longer than a week, but hey, what can you do? It is update time!

2007.04.10

We have a new member, Zombie. Updated size information on the about page. Incoming shows are updated and expect an update in a week or so (seriously).

2006.10.02

Two big updates are upon us, close to 20gb total. Please hop on this as soon as possible!

2006.07.19

For those of you who have not emailed jcrab66 with your username and password for the Tool Drive Hub, please do so as soon as possible (or contact specialK if you have questions).

A Special Thanks

The Tool Drive Project would like to thank all of those who have helped us along the way. A special thanks goes out to Drew for web hosting and to Bjorn and jcrab66 for hosting the DC hub. Also thanks to Aaron, Per, Galen and all the others who have helped with source info and lower gens etc.

Bjorn

Rest in Peace Bjorn, you will be sorely missed. Your enthusiasm and passion for the project went well above and beyond the call of duty. Your friendliness and witty conversation will be missed. Everyone loved to have you onboard, and no one will ever take your place. Our thoughts go out to your family.
