I just watched a Windows media video of Liszt's Mazeppa- by A. Aitammar, but it was all glitched.  Are there any other sites that have better video recordings of performances? 

I saw this link and it had some,

 but if anyone finds more, please post up!

Thanks for any suggestions.

I am relatively new to the internet and all its amenities.  I visited EDonkey and wonder, a) is it honest?  Are they really only going to charge $0.99 a month from my card. b) are they going to sell my personal information? c) Is it going to be easy, or a pregnant dog, to cancel the subscription, and d)Is it worth it for what I can download?

Thanks!

watch out, any website that requires a subscription is a scam.  edonkey is free, get it here:

Hey guys, I just got e-donkey, and it seems like they have a lot of music,


but I'm having major trouble doing transfers (they never start immediately).


What could be the problem??

Thanks for the information. I am going to sound liek a complete idiot, but I installed the eDonkey (I originally thought it was a website) and downloaded one video - at least I think I did - but I can't find, where does the file go on my computer?  I did a search for the file name, which seemed quite long, but nothing turned up.  But I clicked on the file name on eDonkey several times, and it said, "You are already downloading this file," so I assume it happened.  Any tips/

That is a very good question, i found the same problem myself. My completed files seemed to be held just on the media section of e donkey until i right clicked on them to transfer them either to my documents or to e drive, so i could burn them to disk.

Sometimes you can preview a file you are downloading but you have to wait until it is complete before you can transfer it.

The whole process is rather slow and frustrating. A couple of my files have been stuck on 98% for some days.

It took me over 50 hours to get the Rubinstein Brahms 1 Concerto.

I've always had poor download speed (w/ cable modem)/incomplete songs/adware/popups from file sharing software, which is why I don't use it anymore.  I'll check out the e-competition site though, thanks actually to everyone who made suggestions.
