Do you have to pay for Soulseek?

Darcy [Edit] [Delete] 47 replies 19:44, 26 July '05

I thought it was a free download and away you go...do you have to pay a subscription fee? How does it work!?

Re: Do you have to pay for Soulseek?

someone told me (!) that it was free... small download and access to all the (obviously uncopyrighted) music you want.

Re: Do you have to pay for Soulseek?

It's entirely free, it works like any other P2P network.

Go and steal....I mean download your little heart out!

      i use mainly for complet stuff like on isohunt. for music and stuff the better ones you need to get passwords via irc.
      
      i also use bittorrent to download stuff from open source net abels.
      quite a few are using it now to save on webspace.
      
      but emule is best for like cmplete downloads in zip files.

    Looks like there's lots of sites trying to flog the premium service, but I think I've found a standard download.

      www.slsknet.org is the only site you should be getting it from. anything else might be dodgy.

Re: Do you have to pay for Soulseek?

Basically, people try to charge for the soulseek client, which as a contributor to the project, gets on my tats.

You can always get the latest Soulseek builds (and clients for Linux/Unix/Mac OS X) by visiting www.slsknet.org or by sending me a PM.

  when i go hoem and use my brothers mac..i went looking for an os9 compatible client...and loads of fake sites popped up claiming to have os9 compatible clients for kazaa and soulseek and charging. complete scams
  
  countzero @crablin | 26 Jul '05, 20:00 | X
  - Re: Do you have to pay for Soulseek?
    
    There is no client for OS 9.
    
    The two (formerly three) clients for OS X are separate to the main Soulseek project and maintained by third-parties.
    
    They are SolarSeek (my preferred one) and SoulSeeX

        exactly it tells you how to create a room and when you go on the rooms list there's miles of rooms but no DiS

        Right click on that list and press "create room". Then type in, exaclty, "DiS". That should put you in our room where a large "whoop", drinks and pie.

    Aww - it does that occasionally, actually quite often it's really annoying, we'll all probably be chucked out shortly..

  - Re: Do you have to pay for Soulseek?
    
    yeah i've had that. right pain in the arse. i'm sure there's logic to it but it's right annoying.
    
    also, you have to check out people's user info before you download off them to make sure you haven't breached any of their petty sharing rules. i think soulseek's great but there are a couple of people on there who will ban you if you don't follow their rules on downloading (e.g. you have to be sharing x,000 files etc etc) some of these rules are fair enough cos it prevents people being paralysed by having about a million files downloaded off them at once, but some people are right up their own arses. ignore them - they're peevos. most people are class though

      I had this guy getting really arsey with me yesterday. I was downloading a Mission Of Burma record from him, and halfway through he sent me a private message going "Do you have any shared files? If not I'll ban you!"
      
      -what a twat, all he needed to do was ask "Can I see your shared files?"
      
      Some people eh? *rolls eyes*
