I have been a JTF listener for many years, and I've faithfully saved their shows each week. It occurred to me that I may one of the few people with a large archive of JTF shows. In order to help the cause, I've set up a new website where you can hear all JTF shows from 1/31/2001 to the present, plus a few older ones - over 7 years of JTF!

These are the RealAudio audio portions of the show which were downloadable from jtf.org, not the full video:

http://www.jtfarchive.org/

A couple notes:

I am a gentile and do not speak Hebrew, so I only archived the English shows.
Feel free to listen all you want - that's why I put the shows up. But don't setup a script to robotically download every show on the site. There is an overall bandwidth cap of 2TB a month. I don't think that's a big deal, because the shows are only a couple megabytes each and all the shows in total are only about 6GB. But if we have 400 people who write scripts to robotically download all the shows on the site, the site will shut down for that month due to lack of bandwidth. Unfortunately, this level of monthly bandwidth is the limit of what I can presently afford. So, please, download all you want - but listen to all you download!
I am still transferring shows into this archive. At present, there are 319 shows on the site. Ultimately, I will have about 680. I expect all shows to be updated by this Sunday, April 22nd. After that, I'll be adding the 3 shows a week that Chaim produces.
I am going to intentionally keep the site a week behind jtf.org, because I want people to go to jtf.org to get the fresh shows, not my site. It's important that JTF know how many people are listening to its shows every week, so I will not publish the current shows on my site. After a week has gone by and they are no longer available on jtf.org, I will publish them on jtfarchive.org.

Additional questions are answered at: http://www.jtfarchive.org/faq.html

I imagine some people will want to hear the post-911 JTF shows, out of curiosity and historical interest. Keep in mind that the 9/12/2001 show was actually produced before 9/11, which is why Chaim seems to know nothing about the attack in that show

The first show that was made post-911 was 9/26/2001. I remember on 9/11 being very curious to hear what Chaim would have to say and then having to wait two weeks to hear it!

If anyone out there has shows before 1/31/2001, please contact me so I can get copies and get the shows into the archive. Chaim has been on the air since 1986 when he did "The JDL Speaks" in Manhattan, so there is a lot of missing media over the last 21 years. This archive is only a small part of his amazing life and I'd love to add more to it.

Thank you. Welcome to the forum. You are amazing! Chaim will absolutely be stunned!

Brilliant work, welcome to the JTF forum, I think you deserve to be an Honorable Winged Member for this.

Excellent! Thank you so much for all you've done. G-d bless you and welcome to the forum.

Hello WestCoastJTF, and good day to you.

I too had an extensive JTF archive that was unfortunately destroyed on my old computer. I'm glad to see someone has saved and compiled these for the rest of us to hear.

The shows with Yosef Ben Meir, in my humble opinion, were Chaim in his absolute prime. With Chaim doing so many shows per week it's hard for him to maintain the same vigor day in and day out like he did circa 1994-2003

A minor correction to your FAQ, WestCoastJTF. Chaim's legal first name is Victor, not Vincent.

I knew that, too...I guess my fingers were working faster than my brain last night. I've corrected both places where the erroneous name appeared.

I am a new member to this wonderful community, and it's nice to see so many committed and honorable Gentiles. I've been immensely enjoying the JTF videos on youtube and now that there's an archive, I'll be doing alot more listening! Thank you very much for doing this for us, I very much appreciate it.

WestcoastJTF, great job!

Thank you for doing this wonderful job!

Did you save old JTF website articles too?

I wish they are available in pdf format especially articles like "the truth about black africa"

WestCoastJTF · « **Reply #11 on:** April 21, 2007, 06:39:43 PM »

I've finished uploading shows and all shows I have are now in the archive. My count was slightly off, as I was counting all .rm files and I'd forgotten I had some non-JTF .rm files in my archives directory. There are 636 shows as of today (I'd estimated 680) - that should still be enough to keep you all busy for a little while

Enjoy!

I have some, though at the moment the JTF.org site has a ton of the articles...I'm not sure that anything I have is not already on the site.

I don't understand what you're saying about the advantages of a PDF. Why would someone want a PDF instead of a web page? I think of Acrobat PDFs as useful for either forms (not applicable here) or printing. Other than flyers, do people really print out things from the JTF.org web site? I've saved and bookmarked things, but I've never printed anything.

Quite a few old jtf articles are still available on jtf.org, they just aren't openly displayed, but they are still there: http://www.jtf.org/israel/ all of the files beggining with the word israel are articles, the other files are pictures.

This is awesome! A couple of minor corrections though: You uploaded duplicates of the August 2, 2006 shows under the date of August 4th. The Ask JTF shows or "c" shows are actually posted on Sunday, but that's a very minor issue. This is literally a treasure. Thank you a thousand-fold!!!

Hi all,

A technical question: What will play .rm and .ram files besides RealPlayer itself? I hesitate to install RealSpyware on my PC, but I'd love to dive into this archive! It was Chaim's YouTube vids that got me acquainted with JTF in the first place. Thank you West Coast JTF, a lot of people will be happy about this archive of yours.

Take care,
Wolf

You can make Realplayer files work through Windows Media Player, Winamp or whatever using this: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/real_alternative.cfm

I cleaned up the August 2006 shows.

For some reason, a set of shows from March to July 2004 weren't uploaded and didn't appear in the archives. I've fixed that. We're at 675 shows!

I should change the Ask JTF dates. I had a script that was already fetching the "a" and "b" shows every Wednesday and it was easier to just add a "c" ;-) Now that they've been put up for everyone, I should fix the dates. Someday, when time permits...

Manch · « **Reply #21 on:** May 02, 2007, 11:35:55 PM »

Many, many thanks you westcoastjtf - I really enjoy listening to the old shows - I never had an opportunity to listen these shows when they aired.
Shalom,

I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE THESE ARCHIVES OF JTF AUDIOS THAT WERE ON QPTV AVAILABLE, NOW THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD THAT CAN HEAR IT WHENEVER THEY WANT.

CLASSIC. AND HOW WE HAVE GROWN OVER THE YEARS.
