PALAST'S "ARMED MADHOUSE" AUDIO BOOK FREE ONLINE AS A TORRENT
Greg Palast has given Armed Madhouse to the public. Online there is available a torrent file of his audio book that can be downloaded. For those who don't know how to use torrent files, you will need to download a torrent server such as Bittorent, Bitlord, Azareus or as I use for my Mac, BitsOnWheels. Once downloaded on to your computers you can then download the torrent file.

Here is a link to Armed Madhouse.

I just started to listen to it and it is being read by Palast and he has "guest" readers which include Amy Goodman, Randy Rhodes and others! So far it is great! EnJoy!

PS...please help keep this kicked so everyone will know that it's available! Thank you!

1. It's a great listen
I got Greg to autograph the book and the audio CDs when he was in Wisconsin last fall. Some good, yet scary stuff...

14. I'd hope people would BUY Greg's stuff so he can do more...

He put a lot of work into the production and it would be good for people to actually put some money down to help the cause. My 2 euros...

9. it won't allow new members to sign up, and
it won't allow non-members to download it. It seems an invite code is needed to register. Can you advise please?

20. Here is a link to his talk on May Day in NYC. He talks about it here. It's an 8 parter.
He is in the first four parts and Robert Kennedy Jr. are in the last parts. It is fantastic btw!

10. Did Palast authorize the release of this book free?
If not, the torrent should be removed immediately. Besides, we should all be buying this book or the audiobook to help Greg in his endeavors.

17. As I said in the OP, Palast has given up his rights to the book. It is now in the public domain.
If you wish to buy the book, you can make copies of it and do what you want with them. He wants the information to get out there to as many people as it can get to.

13. Demonoid is a well known bootleg torrent site.
I doubt this was authorized by Palast; if it was, he'd have given it to iTunes, which has had free downloads of Presidential Debates, etc.

May take a few days, plus several hours to listen, but it works.

(edit to add it seems far faster than most torrents, but you mileage may vary)

28. The more the better.
I have a lot of torrent files running via uTorrent, nearly all from http://www.chomskytorrents.org/ and there are two factors that determine how fast you/I/they will DL the files. One is your personal stats ("the more you give the more you get" - Beatles lyric) and the second is how many are giving.
