New to soulseek and have questions
So I saw this post here a couple days ago about music piracy and got interested in soulseek. I've installed nicotine in a docker container and started searching for some music. I've found some pretty hard to find music and this album my father used to have in vynil when I was a kid. Cool. But the files had PRIVATE written on them.. Tried to download but the user did not share them with me. My question is: what's the point of sharing folders in a p2p program and denying access to these folders? I mean..just don't share it if you won't let anybody download it. Am I missing something in order to download this album?
Edit: hey guys I sent a message to the user asking if he could share the folder with me and he answered that he'd added me and I could download whatever I wanted! Great! Thanks for the help!
You're viewing a single thread.
People like this are jerks who only share their library with people who already have ultra rare shit. They want to trade rare for rare.
They think they are special for their collections and their actions are anti-thetical to the entire piracy ethos.
I would ignore them and keep searching for another source because its unlikely you have anything they will willingly trade for.
It's dumb and I can't stand those people.
But it makes me laugh when they have their collections locked up but other people are freely sharing what they have locked up.
The stuff I don't want to share... I just don't share at all. No reason to make it frustrating.
Yeah I don't even have a large collection but I've seen some jazz albums locked that are pretty easy to get by torrenting. If I don't wanna share something I'd just keep it in a different folder..anyway, I found nicotine awesome and plan to spend some time looking for new unlocked stuff..thanks
