Guys, I never heard of SS til I came here. Since you people seem to get so much out of it and it appears not to be a virus-sharing program like kazaa/kazaa lite, I am thinking of checking it out but.. I'm on a 56k dial up and my ISP boots me every 2 hrs. Would I be put in a queue only to get booted cos my 2 hrs is up just as my download begins at like 4kb/s? I can reconnect immediately when booted so if it can resume that would be ok, or would I get stuck straight to the back of the queue again, or worse, have to begin from scratch cos there IS no resume? (Surely there is..) Finally, what about most users' attitudes to dial up users? Would they - like in WinMX - boot you cos you take too long? Well, thanks for advice :) |

Well: - there IS resume, so if you get booted you start from where you left off, but it IS possible to be queued up again. - sometimes people do boot you but it's rare ( although I am on CABLE, i give the little guys a chance) - for the most part every person is very nice on slsk provided you share your files - it's the best file sharing prog out there, deffinatly worth checking out |

Heh Ah so if I have little to offer myself then I may get booted for that? As you can imagine, on a 56k I have not got into the habit of collecting much music onto my comp.. it's you lot that are giving me the itch with all these new names I wanna check out. Mind you, at the end of the day it's no biggy since I can get those freebies ya get on most sites I suppose :/ |

Nah I'm saying there's an option to "not share your files". So if someone trys to browse your files and they see NO FILES SHARED they get pissed off and will boot you from downloading. If you have your files shared even though you only have a few it's all good. |
