I love GMC, so many lessons to pick from, so many great instructors and others to learn from... except for one thing, when my internet gets capped (almost always near the end every month) down to dialup speed and I can't hardly view any of the videos and video chat sessions anymore for the rest of the month!
So on behalf of all the slow capped ISP users on GMC... I highly suggest for some downloadable content! It would be great if some lessons are allowed to be downloaded for offline/local viewing? I like to come back and replay some of the lessons I'm currently learning, coming back the following days or even just jumping between pages, I have to re-stream the entire video again. At high speed this is fine, except for eating up bandwidth, but slow speeds this can be painful waiting. Possible video chat to be saved as well? Miss a video chat lesson time or if the net is going slow and it's not streaming quickly enough to keep up, it would be great to be able to download or fully buffer and recap over a previous lesson. Sure you can't interact with it and get the most out of it, but it would still help a lot! This would not only beneifit us practicing over and over the same lessons, etc, but also reduce the server load streaming and re-streaming, save bandwidth, etc? Let me know what you think and if it's a possible option or not, Cheers This post has been edited by Azzaboi: Aug 29 2010, 01:45 AM -------------------- Play Games Arcade Take a break, Play Games!

I was thinking just some content would be allowed - maybe for members only to download?
Some videos are already offered free to non-members, water-mark those and offer for download? You would still need to login to view the tab and the other extras but you wouldn't need to stream down the video each time? I agree with you Mudbone, you wouldn't want it without some limitations. It might be too much to deal with? I asked incase someone had a great idea for it. -------------------- Play Games Arcade Take a break, Play Games!

So in theory we could just send a message to an instructor asking for all his backing tracks? Where do we draw the line? I mean personally It takes a lot of will and motivation for me to record a video, and having a hard time with school and studying, there are very few times when I have enough energy to record videos etc. When I have to adapt that already rare time to instructors who are sometimes inactive, I really hope the system is going to be changed.
Illegal Redistribution I understand that being able to download everything would make it easy to share illegally etc. BUT we are already ABLE to do so with the few files that we do have. In other words, this argument is irrelevant. Moreoever, tabs and GuitarPro files are already available for download, so why do we not do the same for backing tracks? What if some nutbag just downloaded all the GP files and redistributed everything on some site? Either the management hasn't considered the similarity between downloadable GP-files and backing tracks and will make it all moderated because of this post, or somebody should start considering this aspect. People like me find it very hard to adapt their recording rhythm to the availability of instructors all over the world. I think backing tracks should be more accessible, maybe even entire lessons (although these aren't already moderately downloadable). -------------------- My YouTube Channel
