I’ve just started using Soulseek and it’s great. I want to make sure that I’m being a good neighbour on it - do I need to do anything to ensure that my files are available for others to download? And do I need to structure directories e.g Artist name > Album name or does it work off metadata?
This is my pet fucking hate. Within the genre I download / share so many people have all their files private and they want you to give them shit like bandcamp vouchers and stuff like that to have access to their locked files. It fucking boils my piss and it goes against the whole point of piracy as I see it.
I purposefully block all these fucking cunts, all my files are wide open to everyone and I am constantly getting a lot of new releases so if they want to lock their files they can’t have the privilege of sharing in my stuff, utter pieces of shit.
Exactly.
So far, I’ve been able to find pretty much everything without issues but the amount of private files that come up is crazy. The few I haven’t found, I’ve been able to download from SoundCloud.
I’ve had some folks switch their files to private while I was downloading. I ban them.
Compared to others out there, my collection isn’t big, but all of my files are shared.
