Converting FLAC to MP3 is pretty straightforward.

Here's a HowTo for you Windows users:

Here's a util for you Mac users:

And a blog entry describing generally what all of this is doing:

Of course I should also point out that, as usual, requests for the shows, for swaps, for the actual boots, etc are prohibited here.

My long-winded explanations of how torrents work have been known to lull many a partier to sleep. They (the explanations) are long on theory, short on any detail, and shockingly short on anything that might be considered useful for the young downloader who "just wants to know how to make it work."
