But I don't think I can instruct eMule to search only verified ed2k link sites.

Is there any search site which search only verified link sites?

What type of music are on in Soulseek?
What language of the music - English? German? French? Italian? Japanese? Chinese? Korean? Arabic? Or all of them?

So far, I've only searched for English stuff, since I can't type Chinese or any other languages. I've gotten returns on almost everything I searched for: rap, rock, classical, mainstream, etc.

Thanks.

BT and eMule for older and more rare stuff definately. Newsgroups are extremely fast however they only tend to have newer stuff and requests. There are binary groups dedicated to almost everything though, you might check around.

Its funny I uninstalled E-mule because I thought its for older programs , too slow etc. Now after reading a post about older anti-spyware programs I can't seem find it on Bt .

Guess I'll have to install the mule again .

Soulseek's good if you browse the chatrooms or buddy up with people with similar tastes - I wouldn't have found half the stuff I've got if it wasn't for people recommending their files to me...

emule and fastrak is good for rare stuff. If your looking to buy old software, you can go down to compusa as they have bins full of old rare gems. I'm a minimalist myself and running a modified version of windows 2000 and find that the old proggys suit my needs.
