THE NIN HOTLINE

For those on the bleeding edge of the release - what to do if you are havin

First -- When you get a moment, Digg this story about getting the album via BitTorrent.

This thread on ETS has been fantastic for keeping people abreast of support information, and I'll summarize the main points here:

You can download all 36 tracks from Amazon.com for $5 if you're in the USA, and here is the accompanying PDF. You can get the other bonus digital stuff via the torrent above. The Amazon download is a lower bitrate, and the MP3s don't have the individual artwork.

If you want a quick fix, download the first 9 tracks & digital extras via The official NIN Pirate Bay account.

If you've used up your three downloads, contact support@help.nin.com, although you'll likely get this response:

Dear Customer,

If you have hit your download limit, we will be resetting the download attempts as we resolve the technical issues within the next 24 hours.

If you ordered via www.ainr.com and have not received your download link, don't fret, no one else has:

[You'll] get [your] download - it's supposed to be immediate, for one reason or another it's going to be a little while before downloads are sent out for those orders.
