Anywayz, i was wondering what people's policies are on sharing and stuff. Personally, if i find someone downloading my files who doesnt share, i ban them automatically. Also, people who make up gay rules when you browse their files like "only ten downloads at a time or i'll ban you!!" are fucking gay. First come, first serve..... Also, anyone have any favourite users for getting files? eg: people with like a million tunes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't look at who's downloading from me...why bother... i have some favs, but im telling you :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NOT telling you* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WHY?!?!?! What have i ever done to deserve it???!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have like 30 people on my list...name a letter and i'll tell you the first user with that letter on my list. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if somebody isnt sharing i ask why before i ban unless i get no reply then i ban |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
usually when i do that, it ends up being some spanish guy when i do that...and its all "el blah blah blah mierda....." and i can usually tell he's told me to fuck off in spanish... |

|
|
i didnt evenm know he was on. i had a totally blind argument with some spanish guy after he banned me for fuck all. i was 90% through a download of a Quasimoto video and the guy banned me.....so i gave him hell. |
||||||||

I just share with everyone, i don't check and i don't ban. i don't see the point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Sometimes I cut users off or ban users, if they are downloading an album or a song which I somewhat dislike |

p2p works through sharing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also INSTANTLY ban people who dont share at least 500 files |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same here. why the hell get judgemental on p2p. |

p2p works through sharing so you stop sharing with people you perceive as not sharing. Fucking ace logic that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like to think so |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only ever block/ban people when they queue ALL my files..... only happened once. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't care who downloads from me or how much they grab... as long as it's not so much that my computer freezes up as a list of 10,000 generates. I can't fucking stand little fucks who ban you if you download more than one album. I tend to queue up two at a time, but rarely more than that... it's not too much. Fucking dickheads banning me for grabbing two, when all they had to do was message me and tell me they're a fuckface idiot who only allows one. I'd gladly oblige and get rid of the second. Despite my colorful language, it's not a big deal, but still. Sometimes I have trouble finding this or that and then when I finally do, I'm out of luck for queueing up 10 extra files. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I do have a huge list of users, but I often forget why I added him or her... I wish SLSK had a way to label users, built in... label SK8TRpunkxXx as ''the guy with all those Sybian videos'', or Pink_Floyd_Rulz as ''the guy with the enormous amount of Syd Barrett bootlegs''. I think there's a program you can download to do that, but I'm too lazy to find/install/use it. So I'll just go on wishing like a tool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
best thing is if I finally find one (1) person who has some rare release and I start downloading at 1.3 k/s and then that person goes offline and only comes online for about 15 minutes every 3 days. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I'd like to be able to rename them. "Kerplunkenster..? who the hell is that?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, I know it. I've got what seems to be a couple of screens worth of old downloads. I rarely look at them, they're just kind of... there. In the same way that nobody bothers looking at pinned topics on messageboards. Some may date back to 2002, who knows. |

i dont care about who is dowloading from me.. i can be a bit ufair with ppl i dont know thou, for example if some dude is dowloading my girfriends swedish pop albums and another comes in very eager to get a good electronic album and asks me nicely, i then put them first in line.. it also happens allot that i share something special to a friend and then all the others have to wait, unfair but still, that's what most ppl would do. good evening |

quote ophecks "I wish SLSK had a way to label users, built in" ummm, it has. i dunno which version you have tho, i think it might be a feature that's only on the newer test versions. you just right click a users name and you get the option 'user notes'. the notes also pop up in lil' box when you hold the mouse over their name too. with regard to banning......wot u guys talkin about???!!!....banning ppl is the best fun on slsk!! i love having ridiculous nazi rules 8) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i usually don't care or ban anyone cos my slsk is set to userlist download. the reason for that is cos i have a slow connection,so i don't wanna end up with even lo bandwith than i have now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess I haven't updated my Soulseek in a while, because I don't have that option. But again, I'm just too lazy. Until SLSK forces me to go through with updating, I never will... it's almost like a superstition now. |
||||||||
|
|

I ban people who don't share. I also ban people who enqueue more than I would like (I'll tolerate two short albums or an album and an EP or whatever, but two full-length albums is over the line). I only have limited bandwidth so I like to keep the queue open to as many sharing people as is possible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't believe the number of assholes i have run into on soulseek just for trying to download an album (ooh big shit). give me a break, it takes me about a half hour and then someone else can grab it off of me and not bother the fucker next time because I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol it was not me I have it shared for people on my list, but I put on my list everybody I see at the aphex and watmm room and if people ask me to download I always add them to my list. sorry if I ever failed too do so |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't ban anyone, and I get really annoyed with people that ban/set rules and so on. I always thought the idea of file sharing was to share files. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Snap. People who have time to watch their UL/DL screen 24/7, just to ban people for DLing a whole 12 track album in one go really need to get a life. Only time I'd consider banning someone was if they messaged me incessantly/cancelled my DLs for no reason. Only reason I'd cancel their DLs would be if I noticed that they had done a "DL contaning folder" high up the directory tree and were getting hundreds/thousands of files. As much for their sake as mine- I'm sure they don't want to look at the PC only to find they had accidentally DLed hundreds of files they didn't want. |

why the fuck would you want to ban people who don't share? has it ever occured to you that they are starting out, and that they don't have any files yet? that's the problem with most of these p2p-communities.. people doesn't like newbies... DC++ is the worst.. you actually have to have more than 5gb of shared things to start out!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed. Also, people will share real shite, or even intentionally misllabel stuff (in order to appear to have more desirable files), just to get on the ladder if you operate that sort of rule. I remember some self righteous prick tearing into me on SS when I started using it (I mean, I had literally been on there for 5 minutes and was learning the program, looking how to hare files etc.) because I wasn't sharing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah.. same problem with dc++! I get kicked every 5 mins 'cause I shared my windows-folder because I don't have 5gb of video-files to share because I'm supposed to download them from DC++!!! I haven't used slsk that much, but I'd bet it would be a bitch to start out if people keep banning you for not having files! |
||||||||
|

I don´t share with everyone untill I download from them or they ask me to be on my list the reason I do not share with everyone is because I had troubles with the MPAA the other year, so I reduce the chance of getting caught,...it are just precautions I rarely ban or ignore users |
||||||||
|
|

I hate people who ban. I've only banned one person and that was because they banned my for no reason and wouldn't tell me why. Then browsed my stuff and queued four albums up. I get banned for 7 files. They then think it's cool to get 4 albums. Yeah, nice one. They can fuck off. I keep an eye on my Upload queue though because quite often my uploads fail and I don't know why. If someone has queued something and it keeps failing then I message them and let them know they're not banned and I'm not cancelling their downloads. The only solution I've found is for them to not download the entire folder and get each file separately. Does anyone know how to go an Automessage on Slsk? A couple of times I've downloaded from someone and instantly a message pops up with a load of stuff about what to do if things fail and that. I'd like to do that as it's annoying keeping an eye on things. I think i share everything. DC++ is bad for sharing though. You can't get into a room without sharing a certain amount of stuff or having so many slots open. They're really elitist there. You can basically only get into most rooms if you've got a T1 connection and 50GB shared. Ridiculous. |

Dude, get on Slsk and rape my files. I'm on from abotu 6:30 GMT till the next morning. Just queue shit up and leave it going :) giginger on there too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i ban users with too slow connection. and, of course, tose who do not share or just share total bullshit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's fucking harsh... imagine if you could only afford a slow connection and you got banned for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yeah, I kind of got tired of mp3s, so I'm updating my collection so that I'm getting all the albums i previously had on mp3 on cd or vinyl... I may have to get melodies from mars from someone someday, though... The reason I use DC++ is so that I can download animés and movies.. there is lots of animé on dc.. all these p2p-programs have each their fanbase.. slsk is for music, dc++ is for movies (and very much animé), edonkey/emule is for games and kazaa is a bit of each, but less of each as well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah.. imagine yourself in the shoes of the poor slow user! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i used to be in those shoes... and this experience finally convinced me of adsl some day. there´s no reason for a modem connection (except there´s someone from the end of the world downloading, i will make an exception) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no reason for a modem connection? what about if you live in a building where the building-manager or something equal to that won't let you have adsl? or what if you don't have the money to install broadband? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay... though i never heard of that building-manager situation, this sounds reasonable... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yes, I have lived in places where landlords won't let me pay to have BB fitted. Also, even in comparatively developed countries like the UK, there are a lot of rural areas where the only service available that even begins to approach BB in speed terms is an expensive (and "bursty") satellite uplink. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good point.. broadband isn't developed all over the world yet. but that satellite-connection.. I've seen people in DC++ that has that.. what is it? is it like that "surf on your tv" thing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know some people out in the sticks who can't get broadband. That would be reason enough to make me leave the countryside, Christ. How could you ban poor unfortunate souls like that, you monster?!?! I don't think satellite connection has anything to do with ''surfing on your TV'', it's just another way to get the signal in and out, sort of wireless. |
||||||||
|

I have a shitty modem connexion, and I never ban or limit people - In fact, I URGE people to get files - if someone is getting an album from me, and it occurs to me that they may like something else I have, I will PM and tell them about it. The past couple of weeks I have been sharing certain folders with userlist only (a new feature on the newer version of SLSK), but then I'll add people L R C to my userlist, and people only ever have to ask, so they can view ALL the folders I share. |
