Guest the anonymous forumite Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 The existence of soulseek came to my mind the other day. I had given up on it years ago for Oink and such, and then, been using rapidshare-like sites for 2 years now. I thought about giving Soulseek a new chance (In the years I was using it, dl speed was like 10.3 ). And boom ! I realized everything I needed was there, without ratios, without waiting time, without ads. Fuck, I forgot how much browsing through users files was addictive, and that littl pleasure of banning people who don't share. Soulseek rules, it's definitely back on the map.

Guest ruiagnelo Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Fuck, I forgot how much browsing through users files was addictive, and that littl pleasure of banning people who don't share. Soulseek is probably the only program i never stopped using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ruiagnelo Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Yeah but fuck knows what kind of shitty transcodes you are downloading. I have downloaded thousands of records and i can count as many problems with that as the fingers i have. The only thing i am afraid of is being hacked through it. There are some reports on the web of people that had this problem. But i guess i ll keep thinking it always happens to someone else... until it happens to me.

essines Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 downloading ae rips is the worst because it is now impossible to tell if the incoherent blips and bleeps are the newest ae release or just your speakers cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ruiagnelo Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 By the way, is there any chance of getting slsk to automatically retry failed d/ls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Richy Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 If you can't tell by listening, then there's no problem. If you don't have a known legit copy to compare it to, how can you tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chassis Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Well this thread has convinced me to get slsk, I heard some good and some bad things about it and never thought it was worth while. Who wants to give the quick skinny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baph Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Who wants to give the quick skinny? I have to use SSX for OSX, which is a bit shit and not at all intuitive. But if you've been around these things before, it's relatively simple; search for an item, wait a bit for the results to populate, download (usually prior to that you'd want to expand the individual item result if you're ultimately looking for more than just a track. Alternately, find someone with a good connection and good taste and browse their files. ) You download from an individual on soulseek, so be careful not to overdo it. Also, set up a shared directory. I can't share anything at the moment, so I suck at life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wants to give the quick skinny? it is well worth it, just make sure to give as you take. no ratios, just nice people. common sense. it's a basic enough program, easy to use and great for finding popular music as much as it is good for finding all kinds of underground shit. i love the program, been using it for at least 10 years.

If I set up a sharing folder do the tracks in these folders have to be up to a certain standard or do I just label them correctly and let people decide if they want that bit rate?

chassis Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Right after spending aaaaages fucking around to get a static IP and then set up port forwarding I just clicked Automatic Port Forwarding . Anyway, my music folder at the moment isnt in the best of shape so Ive created a new slsk one. Who wants to give me tips on organizing? At the moment im going with genre>artist>album. Also Id appreciate if someone would add me to their list, PM me or whatever. Im still in the process of transferring files from my usual music folder to my slsk one.
