Oops, wrong link. It was http://www.hotlinesw.com/
Well the pc.hltracker.com is used internally by Hotline. The tracker server
just tracks servers currently connected, and provides you with a list of
them.
But instead you can hook-up directly to the server, if you know the address.
At the time of writing it's 207.62.158.51, but since the server is using a
cable modem (dynamic IP) it could change.
I think there is about a 100 albums and EP's there now.

Enjoy!
