  Most these have been around before, but they’re in partial collections and one isn’t being seeded, plus there are a few people have been waiting on, so I thought I’d just do an up-to-February 2015 archive of all of them, in order and numbered.

  Please anyone out there, post new audios. This paranoia and fear has gotta a little bit too much. There has got to be a way to post audios without being scared of being discovered. Let’s put our collective heads together we can come up with a happy solution for everyone. Please come back.

  OK. Seems a fool-proof, safe and simple method would be to have the person that purchases it upload to a server, but only let one person access it. That person then creates a torrent and posts it here. That gets around the problem of volume/discovery on the server and there’s no relationship between the person seeding the original torrent on here and the buyer.

  It would only take two or three of the regulars hooking up…

  In earlier torrent I am led to believe the first of these is “One Small Step” by Nic. G. If correct is the first story missing from this torrent?

  Otherwise thanx, given up on some of these I had.

  That confused me too, so I went with the Big Finish page that doesn’t list it. I think it was a one off, and as you say it was in the other torrent. I played around with the idea of putting it in and numbering it “0″, but decided to just do it exactly the way Big Finish documents it.

  The next one, String Theory, is on the monthy release here. They numbered it 24 so that first one should be there. They just got it wrong on the official page.

  Torrenting our regular titles to thousands of others who we will never see a single shekel from is bad enough, but to undermine our subscriber exclusive releases in the same way is truly insulting. Both to us, and to our paying customers and supporters. Without the support of whom you wouldn’t have this material to begin with.

  These subscriber bonus releases are created not just to encourage those who are customers into taking out subscriptions, but to also reward those who support us by doing so with something extra that they can’t get any other way. To share this material to anyone with a torrent program completely undermines that and removes any value these have as special releases. Not only are you already costing us who knows how many potential sales by torrenting our regular titles, but now you are potentially costing us subscription customers as well, which are the very lifeblood of our company.

  The wider you distribute these files, the more you harm our bottom line. And the less customers we get, the lower the budgets need to be in order to remain financially viable. Until, eventually, some lines simply won’t be. Even the Doctor Who titles may have to shrink as far as budgets and cast lists go. Ask yourself, is that what you really want, if you truly are a Big Finish fan? No more Blake’s 7 or Jago & Litefoot or Survivors, perhaps fewer Doctor Who releases as well. Certainly fewer risks taken with what does get made.

  If you care about Big Finish, then we ask that you don’t share our releases with the entire internet for free. Don’t torrent them on public sites where they can be downloaded by anyone. Thousands of anyones. And if you can’t (or won’t)do that, at least consider buying the titles that you really do like in order to support us and help guarantee future releases. You can make significant savings by using subscriptions and bundle deals, and if that still is too pricey for you, then we also have regular sales.

  To survive we need support. It may not seem it, but we work on a razor’s edge, financially speaking, and so the wider you distribute our files for free on public torrent networks, the more damage you potentially do us, and the more customers we are risk of losing as a result.

  Once again if we discover the identity of anyone torrenting our material we will have no other option but to close their account, block them from making future purchases, and, fair warning, no refunds will be given.

  I highly recommend that you all think long and hard about that, and about whether you care about the future of Big Finish, before you torrent Big Finish material on websites such as this one in future. Thank you.

  Just for the record, know that we are monitoring the big finish thread on the forum of this website as well.

  We posted a message over in the thread in question, but it was soon deleted, and our account banned. Because while stealing our work is apparently perfectly fine, us making any complaints about people doing so, and warning those who do about the possible consequences of their actions if we discover who they are, apparently is not. We shall leave others to decide if there is anything wrong with that particular equation…

  Big Finish has made their point clear: public torrenting of their material is offensive to them, so do please use a private tracker!

  I can tell you that I would have never gotten into Big Finish if not for torrents, I would have never even really known about what they do, and would have therefor never purchased anything from them. So in my case torrenting has brought them business.

  How this is framed is important. I have always seen torrenting as a powerful promotional tool, and a way for people who cannot afford to participate in dominant society and culture to do so. However, people do need to make money in order to continue to produce quality culture such as what BF does. Please go buy some of their stuff, you free loading torrenting maniacs, and go to a private tracker.

  You must take into consideration they have professional actors, writers and producers working on these audios. They are in the business to make a living. No one one works for free. A lot of work goes into making one audio drama. By buying these audios, they can pay these professionals and continue to make more audios. Everyone must support BF. Without support they can’t continue to make Audio dramas. If you have enjoyed their effort and work, please buy their CDs and downloads from their website.

  Regarding the Big Finish Post/Rant/Dummy Spitting/High Horse Riding Pity Fest..The tone & content of which made me quite angry.
  I just wanted to show that the world isn’t as black & white as GOOD VS BAD.. HONEST/DISHONEST.. STEALING/PAYING FOR.Etc..
  I also wonder if the author has ever had to make a choice between paying their heating bill or getting the shopping in?
  So here goes…
  I am a 37 year old man who is disabled & completely unable to work so I can’t afford to pay the ridiculously high prices for Audiobooks.(I used to but now I can just about cover my heating & food bills)
  I’m also pretty much bedridden & have zero social life now,
  so I have nothing but time on my hands.
  It’s not an understatement to say that this website has probably helped to save my life!
  I’ve been so depressed that I have seriously considered suicide on multiple occasions over the last few years.!
  I have always been an avid reader (at least 1 or 2 books per week, with dozens on the go at any given time).
  But for the last few years I have been unable to read for myself so Audiobooks are the answer. (my sister tried sitting & reading to me but it just didn’t work).
  If you look at how many downloads of each title there have been it’s usually just a few hundred.
  So for Big Finish to say we’re sharing with the entire Internet is an exaggeration.
  I really doubt they’ve lost much profit (if any) because of this site. (I actually found out about Big Finish because of this site & I’ve since bought 6 titles from them!
  But I don’t think I want anything to do with them now..
  I am also a member of Audible (1 book per month).
  If Audiobooks were a little bit more affordable then perhaps people wouldn’t come to sites like this!
  So go ahead & report me, ban me whatever.. I don’t really care.!
  …. Just putting my penny in….

  Hey mate hope you’re alright! I know this finds you four years late, but Samaritans on 116 123 provide support and you can find a variety of other forms of support for MH issues on suicide.org mental health America and the NHS site. Best wishes!
