This is my first time using Google Answers, so please tell me if the
price should be higher, and if so, what it should be.

Back in the day, TheSoundSite (.net?) had a great freely-downloadable 64MB
SoundFont available on their site. It was, and remains, the greatest
SoundFont I've ever heard (Very well balanced). However, their site is
long defunct, and through hard drive crashes I lost my copy of their
SoundFont.

My question is, where can I download a copy of TheSoundSite's
SoundFont? For clarification, I'm looking for their GM/GS soundfont.

As seen in the comments, it is likely that the former location of the
sound font was:

http://www.thesoundsite.net/FILES/TheSoundSiteAlbums/The%20Sound%20Site%20Album%20Bank%20V1.0%20(63,338KB).sfpack

It was formerly linked to from:

http://web.archive.org/web/20030201151025/http://www.thesoundsite.net/album.tml

Note that the second link is an archive.org link so that you can see
the actual site it was linked to from.

http://www.hammersound.net/cgi-bin/soundlink.pl?action=view_category&category=Collections&ListStart=30&ListLength=15

Is this it?

I don't see any SoundFonts from TheSoundSite on that page, nor the one
I'm looking for :(

OK, the only reason I even bothered was that the second SoundFont on
the page a) it was (close to) 64MB in size. b) it was a GM/GS
soundfont. c) the date was 2000. d) one of the download links was from
the soundsite (http://thesoundsite.ismi.net).

If you remember the name of the SoundFont, I bet it'd be at
hammersound.net... I don't know if a Researcher is going to give you a
better answer without more specific information.

The thing is, www.archive.org's cache of the web page
(http://web.archive.org/web/20020202132800/www.thesoundsite.net/sf_c_dirlist.tml)
puts the only 64MB file (almost the same as what I commented above)
34923116 	064.1mg Hubbe Sixty Four Bank 	2001-05-14
or maybe
32699300 	065.8mg Music Man GM GS V1.0 Bank 	2001-05-14
This is replicated at the bottom of 
http://www.hammersound.net/cgi-bin/soundlink.pl?action=view_category&category=Collections&ListStart=15&ListLength=15
which has only SoundSite as the download link...

It has an email address for the person who submitted the link to hammersound.

This link http://www.vgmix.com/song_view.php?song_id=819 a person
recorded something with the Music Man GM GS Bank January of this year.
Maybe that author can assist you with a copy. Otherwise, it's really
not out there, unless a peer to peer service someone has it.

TheSoundSite hosted hundreds of soundfonts, as does HammerSound. The
one I am looking for had the words "TheSoundSite" in the title.

I don't know if anyone can help you with this, because even
TheSoundSite's archive page doesn't have a TheSoundSite SoundFont in
compressed or uncompressed.

Yes, there was a seperate section on TheSoundSite for their own in-house soundfonts.

I believe the soundfont listed at the end of this page is the one I'm looking for:

http://web.archive.org/web/20030201151025/http://www.thesoundsite.net/album.tml

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm 99% sure that's the one.

But of course even the seperate ZIP files are too big for Archive.org to host.

You may need to right-click save as. Also, you'll have to deal with .sfark

Because it was a fun thing. And I learned something in the process.
Well, thanks for not getting too frustrated.

Wow! Thanks, you just saved me 10$ :)
Somebody should petition to have you adopted as a full Researcher,
I've seen you answering a lot of questions around here for free :)
