Welcome, Chris!

Firstly, note that 260, 266, 272, 273, 409, 410, 419-421, 242, 430, 438, 441-443, 446, 448, 456, 457, 459, 460 are readily available, but most have been waiting for upload because of the lack of episodes in the surrounding series.

The episodes that we really, truly don't have that you do are 261, 426, 463, 464. There is actually a copy of 261 available, but it has poor audio (I'm assuming yours doesn't).

As for the remaining few, several of them are also mostly available for either upload or download, but they are incomplete. For instance, I was considering uploading 390-399, but 397 is slightly incomplete, as is 401, 404 and 405 (within the 403-407 series), and 414 and 415 (whereas 416 is complete). If you've finallly found versions that aren't cut off at the beginning, that would be absolutely fantastic!

Also--and this is a common mislabel--make sure your 405 is "Defrosting the Fridge" and not "Garden Worms".

Once we've corroborated episode lists, here's a general guide on how to upload mp3 files:

(1) Group the files into appropriate folders according (usually) to date or series, as shown in our Links folder.
(2) Right-click a folder and say "Add to Zip . . ." then name it as, for example, "JAM Series Whatever.zip", and let the application run.
[Note: That's assuming you have Windows, which I don't anymore, so that's completely from memory--someone correct me if I'm wrong.]
(3) Once you have your .zip file, go to MediaFire.com. (You can sign up for a free account there if you want to be able to keep track of your upload URLs and how many people download them, but it's not necessary.)
(4) Click "Browse . . .", find the right .zip file, and upload it.
(5) Copy the URL you get, go to our Links section, and click "Add Link" (in the upper right).
(6) Follow the standard formatting we've devised on the Links page in entering the Title and Description, then "Add Link".
(7) Repeat steps (2)-(6) for each folder of JAM you've sorted.

Another note: It is a big, big, massively big help, if you have iTunes, for you to have already formatted the file names/Album/Artist/etc. to one standard (people do it differently, but as long as yours are all the same, it's easier for everyone to modify them for themselves), and most of all, to input the proper Track Numbers into each of the files.

:P How's that for a 5:00 am post? Hope that helped! I look forward to your contributions, Chris, not merely in JAM files, but in general banter as well.
