Mission

Jam River is an Italian site devoted to Pearl Jam. It was created to allow all its worldwide users to listen and/or watch audience recordings made by Pearl Jam fans for free.
In this tracker only audience recordings sharing is allowed. Official material available from shops or online cannot be shared on Jam River.
Please buy Pearl Jam albums and dvds in stores or from the Ten Club store.
Do not sell concerts you downloaded from this tracker, nor buy them on Ebay or anywhere else. Instead, exchange them with the band fans for free. Do not give money to anybody nor commit a crime buying or selling unofficial material.
Do not buy anything and denounce! Let’s keep Pearl Jam alive buying their official recordings!


Members

Anybody can sign up and be a Jam River member as long as you respect the following rules:
1. On Jam River it is allowed to communicate exclusively in English. Please do not write in any other language or we’ll cancel your post. If you want to write using other languages, please make sure you add and English translation along with it.
2. To be an active Jam River member it is necessary to keep a certain ratio which is the difference between uploaded and downloaded data. And this ratio has to be at least of 51%. E.g. if you download 1 GB you’ll have to upload at least 510 MB. You can check your ratio in the home page.
If your ratio has been less than 51% for 2 weeks you will get a notice. Since the notice you have 2 weeks of time to bring your ratio back to the 51% “tolerance value”. If you don’t do it you’ll be banned. Users with a suspicious behaviour (ratio lower than 51% or ratio between downloaded and uploaded data higher than 5 GB, multiple accounts) are likely to be banned with no notice.
If you have been banned please don’t try to contact the Staff unless you’ve been clearly banned by mistake.

Suggestions to improve your ratio:
a. Set a limit to your downloading speed in order to keep your ratio higher than 51%. E.g. if you upload a torrent at 30 kbs you should keep the downloading speed up to 50kbs. Please check your ratio regularly, to avoid nasty surprises.
b. To increase your ratio keep sharing what you've downloaded if there are still leechers.
c. Check the orphan torrents page to let leechers complete their downloads.
d. Share the material you have according to the request board or to what you think users could be interested in.
e. Make a donation. Jam River thanks those who contribute to the managing expenses of the site by giving GBs (1 GB per euro donated)


Uploaders

Uploaders are special members who got the right to be the first ones to join in the trees of the forum. You have to share at least a complete dvd and keep your ratio of 100% to be an uploader.
Once you've finished to share your dvd, please contact the Staff to ask that your status be changed from member to uploader.
As for members, uploaders too are regularly controlled by the Staff. If they don’t fulfil all the requirements, their status will be changed into member. Ex-uploaders and wannabee uploaders will have to contact the Staff by themselves to communicate their requirements fulfilment and ask to have their status changed from members into uploaders.


News

The purpose of the News section is to update users about any recent publication of audio/video material, on a daily basis.
Your access to the News will be facilitated by the coloured icons next to it which will indicate the kind of access to the available material:
- green: free download
- yellow: streaming ( download of the videos through Keep Vid )
- red: for sale (online or from shops)
The News will provide as much information as possible about any download (setlists, lineage, links), streaming event (official material from the band channel on youtube, pro-shots from professional channels, particular videos published by fans on youtube or similar sites) or material for sale.


DVD Archive

The DVD Archive contains all the Pearl Jam unofficial DVDs owned by Jam River Community. They have been classified in 18 classes according to the different kind of recording. They can even be viewed per year or in chronological order through the Full list.
The DVD Archive is not a complete guide to all of Pearl Jam audience recordings. It’s just a way to help users find what they need on Jam River. Therefore in the DVD Archive only dvds available in the Jam River Community are shown.
This section was created to help users choose the dvds they can get online or through B+P. Please help us telling about the latest audience recordings and, when possible, sharing your copies of them.
The DVD Archive contains many artworks too. You just have to click the preview to see the real size of the image and save it onto your PC. If an artwork is in .doc or .pdf format we suggest you to right click it and "Save as..." instead of trying to open it on your browser.
Registered users only are allowed to leave comments in each dvd to express their opinions and their feelings. They can give information about the dvd lineage, the dvd quality, possible mistakes and any other information that could be usefull to valuate the dvds in their own totality.
Please do not use comments to ask for torrents or B+P.
Every DVD shared on Jam River has its correspondant torrent link on its page. Should the DVD haven't been torrented, there will be a "No related torrent" sign, unlikely the "Cannot be torrented" one when it is not allowed to share it online.


Lossy Or None

The Lossy Or None is an audio anthology made by Jam River; it contains almost all audience shows and all not for sale official recordings. It's composed by 6 volumes:
- Lossy Or None (2000-2007 Period) 20 DVDs

All shows have been converted from loseless files (flac, shn, mkw, cd wave) to constant 256/320 kbps mp3 44.100 Hz, except for shows available in lower bitrate format only.
The Lossy Or None contains many artworks, too. You just have to click the preview to see the real size of the image and save it on your PC.


My Collection

Each member can create his/her own Pearl Jam collection; it's sufficient to click on "My Collection" - either visible in the DVD Archive pages or in the Lossy Or None section - and add new DVDs to their own list. By clicking on "My Wishlist" you will add the DVD you're interested in, into your wishlist. It is possible to know the DVDs owners by clicking on "Owners" as to allow you to contact them directly via PM in case of private trades. Once you add 6 DVDs at least to your personal collection you'll be able to see yourself in the traders page. This page is a list of all Jam River traders ordered by the number of DVDs they own. Remember to select your nationality in your account settings otherwise you won't be able to be part of the mentioned list. An incredibly useful tool was created to help traders in order to compare their list with those of other users; that way you'll be able to notice the differences between the various lists. Your "My Collection" is accessible from your own control panel.

Torrents

A torrent is a file known by the .torrent extension and it contains the information about the files that can be downloaded and about the trackers through which the downloading is possible. By loading the torrents in your client you’ll let it know what to download and where from. In the Upload torrent page you’ll find the following information:
- Which client to use and how
- How to download a torrent
- How to create a torrent
- How to share a torrent on Jam River
- How to help sharing a torrent already available on Jam River
Before sharing a new torrent please make sure that it is not already in torrent list. If it in the list sign yourself as a seeder.
Please do not upload more than a torrent at time and share it as long as you can.
