What's with this new trend by people unsharing files when you only have about 3 files left to get off an album...selfish twats. Like an extra 15 minutes is going to kill them.

huh explain?
cie jiks I don't mean people who turn their comps off or whatever. I haven't got a problem with that and I'm in no rush to get new stuff, it's when people just unshare files mid way through someone downloading from them.

When AG went down and everyone moved onto Slsk it did suffer as a result, but generally it's been beneficial because I don't exclusively listen to electronic music. When I first went on Soulseek nobody was sharing rock music - at all. It was a pain in the fucking arse. I've had the same thing recently with people unsharing halfway through, these people are idiots.

The only problem I have with it now is the atrocious download speeds I'm getting. Though that probably has more to do with my computer than Soulseek. I also seem be getting slightly less search results compared to yesteryear, but I'm still quite happy with it. It rarely lets me down when I'm on the hunt, and I've had good experiences with the people on there, for the most part. Except the ones that thinks it's funny to queue up 50,000 ROMS simultaneously.

Yes, I've had people queue up 700 megabytes of SNES ROMs from me. The joke is, of course, on them, since I have a shit speed and only allow 1 upload at a time. tee hee.

Worst are the people who unshare really rare 500mb+ VSTs when you've nearly finished getting them. I nearly had "The Grand" and the "Trilogy Bass Module" once...

forward ports 2234 and 5534 for best results with slsk. i wonder if a new specialised electronica peer2peer will spring forth soon? could it be called "igloo"?

soulseek has been absolute shit for me in the last 2 weeks. connecting to the server actually causes windows to periodially completely freeze. stopping all internet traffic or a reboot is the only thing that helps then :\

Slsk is good for sharing your collection with peeps you know. But for random searches it sucks.
chatroom user browsing is still intuitive and effective.

thats wild that people would complain about a free, "idm" centric network like soulseek. i've seen 6 year olds with more integrity. i think its amazing. even with its flaws, theres no room for complaining.
is there anything better for what it is?
