    The code can only be redeemed once and if your download fails due to a certain reason.That's it...

    I'm pretty sure you can choose between MP3 and FLAC.

    Woops, I thought his signature was the actual post. Here I sat, questioning why he double posted...

    Imo you should get 3 dl per code as per policy of other services such as Google music or Spotify. One download is susceptible to problems.

    It was my bad, I closed my browser accidentally when the downloading is still in progress... when I opened the browser once again, the download can not be continued. And that is 178 mb or something, i guess it's mp3 as for flac it would be way larger than that. I don't see any options for me to choose between flac and mp3 either... I have sent an request for a new code and see how...(and after 30mins still no reply) Anyway I am pissed... I will go some torrent site and see if i could find one there. Thanks for all your concern.

    Mp3-Download is 171 MiB , FLAC is 411 MiB!

    Concerning that torrent site: Don´t you think this is kind of an overreaction?! It´s sunday (!) and you´ve only waited thirty minutes (!!!) :eek:

    Oh, and concerning the selection between those two types: Click on mp3 once and all will be fine and selectable...

    In 10 mins I will complete the download ... It's the first time I using the bandcamp, I don't have a fan account and I will never have one. Maybe things will be better if you have an account? yeah ? no? whatever, I don't care anymore.

    If you use torrents you will probably get hacked, there's no such thing as a free lunch. ;)

    As the “PAID” lunch failed to fill my stomach, I have to find an alternate way to work things out. And lucky me I have torrent a few TBs of "free launch" without being hacked.

    I can only go on my personal experience in that I have been "hacked" myself. Funny thing was I had no idea I had been hacked until I happened to check the Ip logs on my eve online account and found someone else had been logging into my account from Greece.

    Unless you are a hacker yourself, chances are you won't even know it.

    You certainly won't catch me going any where near any kind of filesharing ever again.

    There is nothing wrong with your intent, but "trying to warn the dude from my own personal experience" did not come across at all. Read your original comment and tell me it's not spreading FUD for no apparent reason.

    I saw the requests on Monday when I came in and responded. I'm worried that you haven't received my email yet @sycspysycspy - it was sent Mon, Dec 8, 2014 at 10:42 AM PST.

    The bandcamp codes are one-time use codes. If you create a bandcamp account before downloading, the album will remain on your bandcamp account where you can access it later. If there's ever an issue with the code, there's a link in bandcamp that will send an email to us. I only work Mon - Fri, but I reply pretty quickly to these requests.

    Read it, seems to me like I was giving a warning about the possibility of getting hacked by using torrents. apology's if it didn't come across like that...I'm not known for my communication skills.:)

    Can I ask what's FUD btw?
