The advent of the [[internet]] brought the programme to an international audience for the first time (the Radio 1 website launched in 1996). In 2002 the [[BBC]] launched their 'listen again' online [[radio]] service and the ''Essential Mix'' (along with the [[Essential Selection]]) became consistently the most popular specialist music show of the whole [[BBC Radio]] network among [[internet users]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2010}} According to BBC server logs, the show receives around 50,000 online requests per week (though this can be significantly higher, with the 2003 [[Ibiza]] show attracting more than 96,000 requests), which compares to the show's "live" audience of 80,000.{{Citation needed|date=December 2010}} Whilst demand for a [[podcast]] of the show is high, the BBC has resisted making the show available in this way due to [[copyright]] issues, but the development of [[peer-to-peer]] internet technologies has spawned a new trend in which fans of the show make recordings of mixes available to users of services such as [[BitTorrent (protocol)|BitTorrent]] and [[eMule]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2010}} Although illegal{{where|date=October 2014}}, the BBC has taken little action against such activity.{{original research inline |date=December 2010}}

However, in 2010, [https://www.mixriot.com/ Mixriot], a website which hosted stream and download links to past ''Essential Mix'' broadcasts dating back to the first ever edition for its members, was asked to remove all its past recordings by production company [[Somethin' Else (content agency)|Somethin' Else]] due to copyright infringement.{{Citation needed|date=December 2010}} The Mixriot website is still live, although it has since taken down all ''Essential Mix'' broadcasts.



Many [[BitTorrent|torrent sites]] and internet forums still continue to provide mp3 download links to past shows, which can be found easily through internet search engines.{{Citation needed|date=December 2010}}
