This looks like a really big collection. Are you sure this is legal? At http://www.gmajormusictheory.org/Freebies/freebies.html , http://www.makingmusicfun.net/htm/printit_free_printable_sheet_music_index.htm or http://www.free-scores.com are some nice sheets, but if you want something special, it is not that expensive to buy the sheet, which (probably) helps the artist, too, if it is a modern piece.

Hi

Just want to say that you should be a little careful about posting If its illegal? I think Andrew want a pretty clean forum, but I think there has been posted similar things like this before, so its okay(unless Andrew feels otherwise of course) but just be aware^^

Besides the legal problem, another problem with such files from unknown sources is that they can contain viruses and trojans, even in PDF files, because various versions of the Acrobat PDF Reader has security holes, so take care.

I guess pianosheets.org would be a great source for music sheets but unluckily signups are always closed. Also on demonoid.com you can find some good torrent about piano sheets.

Wow this link claims to have really quite a collection of sheet music.
I started a topic in this forum which has lot of links to sites all over the Internet with sheet music and I collected way more than 7 Giga sheet music in just about a month... so it is not that hard to collect huge amounts if you are really dedicated ( or obsessed LOL ) ... although this looks like a serious collection from certain composers.... hmmm, it is tempting anyway... thanks for the link.. if it still works...

You need a torrent client, I'm using µTorrent. Is this stuff legal? Both yes and no, linking to that link isnt illegal, and downloading that torrent-file is not either ( i see no harm in linkin it ). But when you load the file into µTorrent you start to download those pdf-files, and i'm sure a bunch of em are copyrighted.

My really big question is, "Why do you need all of those?". Ofcourse the nice thing with torrenting if the files arent zip/rar ( which by the way is just stupid ), is that you can pick one ( or more ) of them and just download that and not the whole file.
