I hate Soulseek
 
When the person yr trying to download from is slow. And when it takes 30 minutes to download one song.

Soulseek is a million times better than other downloading programs

I hate file sharing programs in general. The concept is fabulous and they'd be great if you didn't get 8000 fucking viruses, intrusion attempts etc.

Haha. Die.

Soulseek rules.

Sonic Youth 37 07.16.2006 10:07 AM

I only use it when there a new album I want and I want to get it. Then I uninstall it completely and virus scan my stuff.

Cantankerous 07.16.2006 10:07 AM

What a pain in the ass.

Sonic Youth 37 07.16.2006 10:08 AM

Yeah, but its worth it sometime.

In speed Limewire is the best, but in soulseek you can find a lot of bootlegs, if you are looking for get your computer infected get Kazaa

agreed. soulseek has proven itself to me to be completely spyware and virus free.

Cantankerous 07.16.2006 12:57 PM

Limewire is almost as bad as Kazaa about that.

afterthefact 07.16.2006 01:23 PM

kazza is the devil in peer-to-peer format.

I am a bit paranoid about that kind of stuff. Better safe than sorry I guess. I hardly ever use Soulseek though, so it doesn't really make a difference to me.

Soulseek I believe is pretty safe, but it's the only one I've ever found that I can say that about. Though mIRC is pretty good, as far as I've been able to tell.

But I've abandoned all forms of file-sharing. I just buy now. If I really need to hear an album, I listen to iTunes samples, and maybe buy a song off it. But I feel rather cheap using p2p. It's not the real thing.

never had a problem with slsk.
when i used pc i never had a problem and now with mac, no problem.
and why would you need to uninstall it when youre not using it? cant you just quit slsk and start it when you need it?

IntoTheGroovey 07.16.2006 02:56 PM

Soulseek rarely works for me.

I really don't like that people can get to your shit, so I don't have any filesharing programs anymore.

Soulseek is good, but it frustrates the hell out of me from time to time.

Its not really user friendly. Yes, its simple in design and all that garbage, but some of the functions take some trial and error.
