The Lord of the Rings Online Soundtrack Released

Turbine has launched a new “forward patching” application called the Turbine Download Manager and has released the full The Lord of the Rings Online soundtrack along with it so users have something to download right away. The details:

We’ve conducted internal tests of the Turbine Download Manager and hired testing companies, and now it’s time to open this up to a wider audience. For this beta, we’ve assembled the music tracks from The Lord of the Rings OnlineTM into a single download. You’ll also be able to watch the Book 13 Video Dev Diary. When your music is ready, the Play button will appear which will launch your default music player when clicked.

The Turbine Download Manager also offers the following features:

• Peer-to-peer downloading, allowing you to download files even faster.
• Full control over your download experience
• Set overall capacity and speed limits
• Schedule downloads by time of day and day of week
• Set limits based on what other applications are running
• Pause and have the download automatically resume at a later time
• UPnP support (if your router and firewall support it and are configured correctly).

A few things to note:

• The Turbine Download Manager’s mission is to download the files into the directory you’ve specified. If you move the files after downloading them, the Download Manager will attempt to re-download them.
• The Download Manager uses optional peer-to-peer file sharing to speed up the downloads. Your personal identity is kept confidential and protected. Turbine remains the primary provider of bandwidth when necessary, to ensure a quality download experience instead of relying completely on peers. The peer-to-peer portion only acts as a subsidizer.
• The Turbine Download Manager will update and restart itself shortly after installing.
