What are you using?

[asmithz]

Well, I am trying to find a way to get albums. I dont like soul Seek becuase it takes to long. I need a easy/ fast way to get full albums of stuff older then 2 months. Plus any good you could recommend would be cool too. I am really getting into music now a days.

[S!X]

I use Bittornado+ Filemp3.org for the latest stuff. :)

[asmithz]

filemp3.org is full :( Plus i can get anything released in the last 2 months, and anything coming out a soon as its released. I am looking for older stuff, older then 2 months.

slsk & bittorrent.

asmithz, if it takes you 2 months to get an album off slsk, it's because you don't know how to search or use it right.

never takes me more than half an hour...

Uhm, I think he's saying it's hard to find stuff that's been released more than two months ago, not that it takes him two months.


Slsk is prolly the best app I know for older stuff, truth be told.

But sometimes you can get lucky on, for instance, e-mule or irc.

Usually use slsk or irc for albums, also Ares for older stuff.

Yea, Its harder to find stuff older then 2 months. Slsk is way to slow to me, i am use to getting albums with 400kb/s. :( With Slsk, i am in queue alot, and speeds suck.

With that much bandwidth, you want a p2p program that takes files from multiple sources. Give Ares a try for that. You should also be able to find albums older than 2 months, but the fake files are starting to creep in.

Alternatively, go with newsgroups or IRC.

[asmithz]

yep Ares seems like the best, still kinda lame. Wish i had a source that archives mp3s longer then 2 months. :(

Newsgroups is no good, only a 24 day retation. IRC mabey, but still hard to get what you want.

[Rick Phlegm]

There's always Kazaa... :ermm:


Believe it or not, it's actually still okay if you're looking for really old stuff

[asmithz]

yea true, just hate P2P so much.

soulseek

soulseek
Yea, seems like the best bet, but as i said its to slow.

Mirc and limewire

Mirc and limewire

Ahh the non spoken about limewire, i think thats a little better then SoulSeek.

[Gluehead]

Ares is good if you want more mainstream music. It's hard to find more indie stuff on there.

[loadedet]

DC++ All the way, this has gotta be the best p2p file share allowing to dl full albums of music at high speeds

[rzf]

Slsk is the way to go mate! If you got a lot to share, people will most likely add you to their friends list which gives you privileges to be the first one to download. So no queues here :cool:

ps. it helps alot if you have a high upload rate :D

soulseek / say no more :01:
