I need some music, and Im sick of this Kazaa BS, so can someone gimme the 411 on this program?

 

[Trevelyon]

Good for full albums & obscure stuff. But fairly unreliable & queues tend to be a problem.

I don't know you too well, but you seem to not know a whole lot. The majority of the things that you ask for, can easily be found by doing a simple search.

There was a Slsk thread just days ago...

Try Ares. I used soulseek for quite sometime until I got sick and tired of all the queues.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

i also recommend ares very reliable hardly any corrupted files on there.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

Use mIRC.

I would gladly if I knew how

Good for obscure stuff, but i hardly use it because i end up uploading several times more than i ever download because no one has what i want.

Bittorrent is still the easiest and fastest for mainstream stuff.

I've been using Soulseek for a week or two now, and I too have to admit that I'm getting sick of the queues.

Is WinMX any good?

 

[Trevelyon]

Karish, check your pm.

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

Eh, i still really like soulseek. I dont mind the queues as long as they arent too long. Its not like I need the song or album at that very moment.

Soulseek is mostly just one disappointment after another. You search for something semi-obscure, and most of the time you can get results.....but you get stuck waiting in some user's shitty queue forever until they go offline and never come back.

So it's sort of this awful love-hate thing. "Hooray, I found that band I was looking for! Fuck, there are 300 people in line waiting to download before me!"

You know, the easiest way around the queues is to donate. $5 a month to bypass queues isn't that bad, but I can see where that would be too pricey for some. Regardless, I'd rather pay $5 for a few obscure albums than full price.
