All Live 8 Performances Available for Free Viewing and Download on AOL

I saw this post on Fark today: In a rare act of coolness, AOL puts up the entire set of Live 8 performances for free download, selectable down to a specific artist and song.Here's the AOL link to the Live 8 performances. Cool of them, indeed.

no firefox support?

What? AOL is still sticking to it's MSIE connections, horrible.

I was able to look at it on Safari.

I'm running Macs, so I dunno, but Safari worked...Firefox was dead.

How do I download?

I found the music, and I can view songs, but how do I download them?

no downloads

From what I understand, downloading for later use is not part of the deal. I think that you will be able to stream the video off of AOL Music for the next six weeks or so for free, beyond that, I don't know.

Here's a bitorrent way to download

Sorry, I thought AOL was going to allow dowloading. Maybe only for subscribers...I'll check. Meanwhile, here's a bitorrent way to get all the content on the download.
