Hey, can anyone help me? Im looking for Live at Lincoln Lounge by Sugarcult and noone on Kazaa seems to have any of the songs. Where else can you get rare music files that are no longer available in stores?

You could try SoulSeek, some people here swear by it, although I've never found anything on it. ;)

DirectConnect's also a good place to look, there's a lot of variety there.

i find alot o rare files on winmx kazaa has more mp3s then soulseek but there new mp3s are 95% fakes so i use soulseek for new stuff, and kazaa for some reason people think 128 is the standard so its so popular and when u try to find a 192 on kazaa u get blistering speeds of 0.75kb!!!

That fast huh ?

I use Kazaa mainly for movies - mp3's i've had much more luck with SouSeek. But now as my movie collection takes up sooo much space, i decided to burn them all and concentrate on mp3's instead.

You can find allmost anything out there though, if your prepared to wait..........wait.............wait.........

Read about SoulSeek here (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/bb/index.php?act=ST&f=18&t=20333).
And as far as the UKMan logo, take a close look at it and you will know where he got it :P

Be prepared to install a new SS every few days. The constant upgrades really turns me off. :huh:

when they bring out a new version, you download it, cos it usually has some decent improvements, and they force you to upgrade as some of the improvements would be useless if other people were still using the earlier version. even on dial up 739kb isn&#39;t a huge program, and if you are on dial up, it&#39;s not like you could have downloaded 5 songs in the time it takes you to upgrade the program. in fact, you couldn&#39;t get 1/4 of a song in that time if you are still on narrowband.

all you have to do is run the program and fire up soulseek, it has never overwritten any of my settings, so at most, i&#39;ve spent about 3 mins in this process. If a program didn&#39;t upgrade often then it wouldn&#39;t be improving, ironing out the bugs etc. look how many testbuilds the last kazaa lite ++ version went through, i&#39;m pretty sure it reached testbuild 20. and this version is on about 12 or so.
