I recommend the Scratch Perverts mix at: http://thenine.ca/essential/2004/2004.08.22%20-%20Essential%...

seconded, that's a fantastic mix.

Does anyone else have fond memories of the Oakenfold mixes? http://thenine.ca/essential/2000/2000.02.13%20-%20Essential%... http://thenine.ca/essential/2000/2000.05.21%20-%20Essential%...

Live in Rojan Club, Shanghai, China... And Liverpool University, those are all time faves!

I may regret posting this .... But this is what you probably want to do: user@host:/path/to/EssentialMixRip09.04.10$ wget -rl 0 -np -A .mp3 http://thenine.ca/essential/

Using Coral CDN: wget -rl 0 -np -A .mp3 http://thenine.ca.nyud.net/essential/

However aren't they copyrighted?!

Been waiting a while for something like this, could anyone identify either this track or the set it's from? I know it's from Cor Fijneman's Outstanding Radio mix...

I've got a fairly good collection of the older mixes, and there's some amazing stuff in there, no doubt. Any pointers on what's been really great in the last couple of years?

Nogood, checkout the robots.txt

Since Coral considers itself a distributed caching proxy rather than a crawler, it doesn't respect robots.txt. It does respect the relevant cache-control headers, like "no-cache", but this site doesn't appear to set them. However, the main problem here is that Coral doesn't cache any files >50mb, so almost none of these are cached. The few http://thenine.ca.nyud.net/essential/1998/1998.01.01%20-%20E...

For "open directories" like this, it's good form to use the Coral Cache in order to not overwhelm the original source: http://thenine.ca.nyud.net/essential/

Unfortunately, Coral Cache doesn't cache anything >50mb, so for almost all of these it'll just redirect you to the original URL. (There are a handful of <50mb mixes, which it does serve up without redirecting.)

Sadly I noticed that only later ;-) Though at least the cache could speed things up for the window shoppers.
