Does anyone else try to download something on SlSk and always have to wait like three days to get it? I've been in line for this one guy for about 24 hours, and I'm still 1900th in line. Re-fucking-diculous.

um, if you turn off soulseek, you keep on getting pushed back on the bottom......

and yeah you have to wait for some files, but what's the problem? do you NEED to listen to it at the moment?

I love soulseek.

yeah im not a big fan of soulseek. i mean its good if you can get it right away...but when i wanna listen to something and I know its out there, i dont wanna wait. so maybe im impatient. but ah well. lol. i have mIRC and Kazaa gold(which u have to pay for cuse there isnt any pop ups or crazy ads but I got it for free from a friend).

DUDE, when you search for files don't pick the grey ones if you don't want to wait in line. The black files are not in queue.

eirch - add the files/albums on your wish list. and they'll eventually show up. because you can find ANYTHING on soulseek. seriously.

The wishlist thing is a good idea. That's what I've been doing to find all the stuff I've been looking for. It's been working out pretty well.

Neither does WinMX.

Bishop

But WinMX doesn't have nearly the amount of music that Soulseek does.

I don't use either, really.

How do you get your music?

The Search feature went to shit in Soulseek recently...usually you have to join a room, right-click and Search files within the chatroom to get decent results now.

soulseek makes me sad if i want something more stream. like 80s hiphop. that's nearly impossible.

yeah and if you run a search on britney spears, you're not likely to get much

Lueda Alia

probably bit torrent.

Tanooki Suit

Correct... mostly bittorrent, sometimes I'll root around on DC++.

WinMx sucks and is slow, Kazaa is good for maintstream, and SoulSeek owns all for none mIRC users.

Well either my computer is very, very screwed up(which I am willing to believe), but I got spyware off it :huh:
But yes winmx does, it's crawling with it, I had to fix my computer twice because of it. soulseek it might of just been a virus off a file from somewhere, which I am willing to believe but winmx sucks majorly dude.

you probably got it from somewhere else.

Probably from someone sending me crap on msn no doubt

Lueda Alia

01/30/05, 04:48 PM

do you go on lyric websites? they have a TON of spyware.

and usually all websites that have pop ups & ads.

Shoes

01/30/05, 04:49 PM

Yeah I sometimes go to letssingit.com, that's got so many ads even with my blocker.

Lueda Alia

01/30/05, 04:53 PM

oh god, that website has WAY too much spyware!

use avant browser or firefox, and you'll never have to deal with spyware ever again. search for both on google.

01/30/05, 05:05 PM

Thanks for the heads up I'll have a look for firefox now cheers:)
