the power supply on the server died a couple of days ago, arzenik finally got to get a new one and install it, so we're back up. apologies for yet another outage, I know this has been frustrating for many of you, I do wish I was able to provide a more consistent service. anyway, for those who haven't given up on us altogether, thanks for coming back :)

Nir,you're the man..I thank you personally deeply,because I download mostly live performances,or just one mp3 here and there when I'm not so sure on how a specific artist sound,but as I post before on other threads,I love to support the artist by buying their releases.....Thanx a lot for keeping us informed,and Phobia,my phriend,I do donate to this wonderful site,as I think everyone else should do...Actually I was thinking on doing the same with Xltronic.com,because after all,you are the ones who really work hard day by day for us,in order to keep us informed.....Love to you 2,Nir and Phobia,keep up the excellent job you always do....====)

I couldn't believe the high concentration of similar minded people there. Where else can you find everything ever made by crunch? Much thanks for providing it, though I'm not certain in my opinion on the matter of "stealing" from artists yet. It's obviously very useful and helpful to everyone, if they required a small mandatory fee for downloading (and this fee was paid to the respective artist) I'd be much more approving, but doubt people wouldn't be crafty enough to find away around it anyway.

well, I sometimes get discouraged by people trashing soulseek for being offline all too often. can't help but feel it's not deserved considering I'm just providing a service that wasn't there before. but then, I always complain about the stuff I like myself when it lets me down or pisses me off. it's not because I don't appreciate it, it's for the exact opposite reason. in a sense I want my users to have the freedom to bitch and complain. if I want them to feel they're a part of soulseek without having to compromise such a basic liberty, I have to accept that. and outside of a microscopic strand of egomaniacal, plain out of their mind users with a weak grasp on reality, everyone does a terrific job of patting me on the shoulder when I do well.

Nice speach, let's elect NIR as our king and overthrow our entire existing political system. I trust him.

I can understand all that...But,still,I think some of those who complain should be at the least,donating the small fee...After all,$5.00 is really nothing compared to how many mp3 you can download in a month probablly worth over $600.00 in recorded or even on a lot of hard-to-find stuff,wich I like much...I just hope people can really understand the excellent job you are doing here,and the time that you spend in order for us to have the best idm/electronica artists in just one great site,congrats to you man,count on me,I will always support your efforts on bringing us this SoulSeek site........==)

i'd rather put the $5 toward an actual album, but if the time comes when nir is strapped for cash again i'll donate at least one month

So we should pay NIR and not pay the artists?

Nope wMw,it's not that...Just keep supporting your fave artists like you always do...But still,if Nir is giving us the big opportunity to download exclusive idm/electronica artists,plus hard-to-find,plus live performances,wich I personally collect,then why not paying a small fee for his efforts,after all,as I said before,it will be worth,like spending close to 900.00 in music and videos,for one month..................

definitely pay the artists. that has nothing to do with whether you should make a donation for soulseek or not. just take the terms at face value, you're more than welcome to use that system for free. if you want to support us, or you're interested in the download privileges, and you've used the system long enough to know you're happy with it, by all means make a donation.

out of curiosity, nir, what are the server specs? i imagine it would take an awful lot to support a full-fledged p2p service..

I just wanted to thank you, Nir. there aren't very many online communities of people who are interested in the same sort of things as I, in fact Soulseek and this message board are the only ones that come to mind. nice work. :)
