Torrents can take anywhere from a couple hours to a couple weeks depending on how many seeders there are... Patience is the key. 24 hours later and I'm at 10%, so that means it should take 10 days to download. It will probably be less than that though.

You started out asking for boards... You ended with asking for someone to rip you the Pure Jerry releases. It just takes one person to fuck up a good thing... Do a google search for astrojams, otherones.net or read up on the archive.org SBD fiasco. Phish stopped Furthernet from hosting shows for a while because people were leaking released shows. It took a couple months to get them to reverse their position. Try finding any of the Bob Dylan tabs on Rukind... They're gone because someone discovered they were being hosted here and this fact got brought to Dylan's management.
I've been trading, streaming, hosting, seeding and sharing for a decade... I've learned the 3 rules to keeping Grateful Dead Productions off your ass:
1) Don't allow or encourage the trading of commercial releases
2) Don't attempt to profit in ANY WAY from hosting content that pertains to trading or sharing non-commercial Grateful Dead shows
3) Don't infringe on ANY TRADEMARK or COPYRIGHT held by GDP or Ice Nine by using their images/marks without express written permission from GDP.

As a website owner, nothing is a bigger buzzkill than receiving a Cease and Desist because of someone else's actions that occcured on your watch. And not everybody has in-house counsel ready to do battle in that event.
