hey..can somebody let me onto their soulseek network? just trying it all out... ta! |
||||||||
|
|

Say what? I was assuming you just connected to Soulseek. It's what I've been doing. |
||||||||

hmm, when i try to do a search in soulseex (mac os version of soulseek) it just sits there doing nothing |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
That's normal for Soulseek. It's crap for searching. Just go into the aphextwin.nu room and right click on the userlist. Search in there. Or politely ask if anyone is sharing what you're looking for. |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
so do you connect with the friends section for searching more? |
||||||||

so what's with the warning that many users will ban you if you cue up a bunch of downloads? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you go and queue up, say, someone's entire richard d. james folder, they may be like 'fuck off' and ban you from downloading. on soulseek you download from one person, it's not like it pulls the file from different people that have it. so there can be queues and what not, it is rude to take up all of someone's download slots with that many files. typically, 1 or 2 albums at a time is fine. |

|
others people will ban you if you won't sharing. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
oh ok...is there a way to tell if they are online at the time? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so if you cue shit up, other people are put after your cue? or does the cue work on their end? |
||||||||
|

you can look at your own transfers screen to get an idea. the top window is stuff you're downloading. the bottom window is people uploading from you. it creates a list as more files are requested. the people at the top of the list are first, to the bottom, last. you could let everyone upload from you simultaneously, by just increasing the max number of U/L users, but that might make it slow for everyone. i usually allow 2 people at a time, so if there are more peopl, they will have to wait |

It works off of a first come first serve basis, so if you download 100 files off of someone, then the next user has to wait for all your downloads to complete before they can go. What generally ends up happening, is somebody with a really slow transfer rate ends up cueing 3 or 4 albums, and the person they are getting it from ends up generating a qlist of about a thousand people. Then things stay messy for a long time. At one time I used to have at least 400 files in my q at any given time, untill I unsared all my good files and only left about 50 half-rate albums shared (well, not half rate, but most people won't go out of their way to download phillip glass, grand theft auto or the gummo soundtrack). |
