Hey DataMore, didn't you already say:

"I think you people should start donating money to SoulSick, don't you think? :rolleyes: [img]http://www.klboard.ath.cx/bb/html/emoticons/whistling.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='whistling.gif'>

over at THIS thread, about the fourth post down? In fact, the thread was dated: (DataMore @ 14 March 2003 - 00:20), so technically, you had already said it when you made the above post! :P

Sorry, I couldn't resist the poke,

Yep, and I said it again here and here, too. :)

Go here and you&#39;ll understand why. ;)

:P Look DataMore you ain&#39;t useing it so don&#39;t worry about what we do.If you would like to help...then do it.You seem to be only person out of 12000 members that has a problem with us useing it.....wonder why that is?

If you think this is starting shit with you I guess it is.But at least we are going to get to know each other better through controverting,rebutting,refuting,dialectic,disputation,forensic,mooting and argumentation. :P

So lets have some fun DataMore.....why don&#39;t you.....

Fire some more back at me if ya want brother.....I am bored...need somebody to argue with. :P :P :P

hmm it&#39;s been down longer then i thought itd be....guess i might not see you guys tonight lol owell i guess well im waiting i&#39;ll work on a few albums from kazaa don&#39;t really like kazaa for albums but it will work tell SS is back

I also used to be like datamore i hated SS i tried it awhile back and i hated it now i love it I wouldnt want too us anything else...I just hope the RIAA doesnt hassle them cause I like the way SS is no other programs like it that i know of...ohh and summer i might be intrested in some Rob Zombie sometime but just to warn you im 56k&#33;and is your avatar that one guy we were talking about in chat???

Ahhh holycrap just checked SS is back up hope it&#39;s not temp and it goes down again...

Hey FuNkY - L M A O &#33; &#33; &#33;

ToddM

If DM doesn&#39;t like it, that&#39;s cool. To each his own. I personally am downloading loads of stuff, including one album I looked for, on behalf of my oldest, for 3 weeks. Found it on a hard drive downloaded it all within the space of under one hour.

It works for me. If I download 1 album a day ( I only really want whole albums) 20 days a month then that&#39;s worth £250 - £300 saved to me. There is also the option to try stuff I normally wouldn&#39;t buy. Personally I would prefer DM to join the room, give it a bash and see if he likes it. However it&#39;s his choice on whether he does or not. It&#39;s like the kids, don&#39;t tell me you don&#39;t like it until you try it.

Even if you&#39;ve tried SS before, this is not the same. It&#39;s people you know, who you can talk to, all working together and sharing. It&#39;s well worth it even if SS were down 50% of the time, which it isn&#39;t.

I&#39;m really going to be interested how the movie db is going to work though. If a full album is say 60 mb, made up of 10 6 mb chunks, that works ok for direct download (on a 1 to 1 peer basis) how that&#39;s going to work for 700 mb movies is totally beyond me. Unless of course it&#39;s not really a database, just a pretty list of hashes with pictures. I can get that in lots of place people. Probably better calling it the Movie Index.

Like I have posted elsewhere, the one thing you can say about the music db is that we are all sharing the actual files and we can see it. No-one is just posting lots of hashes, which for the most part you can get anywhere and don&#39;t work anyway

:) TY JmiF for saying that.Datamore knows I am just playing with him half the time....or at least I hope so. :D

Alot of what JmiF said is true and is how I fell about it.Please try it out with us if you are really into Music and care about this community,that is what this part of the forum is all aboout.....the Music. :)

Didn&#39;t wan&#39;t to quote with the pic and all, was funny enough the first time :P

good job FC :lol:

I&#39;m back FC, and i&#39;ll be haning around on SoulSeek often. But i&#39;ll probably switch between KLite and SoulSeek nightly... considering my site is focused around KLite hashes..

Welcome back Infested_Cats :beerchug:

Hey Infested Cats, nice albums you have&#33;
But i guess you have to remove those other folders, its hard on some of us (jhrewfbjfcUKMANkjrfhkrf) :lol:
Seems to be tempting........

I just wanted to post a quick note of thanks to everyone who has been particpating and sharing. This is such a great idea and I just wanted to say thank you.

Infested_cats, noticed your off soulseek again, you going to be coming back?

Okay, I want to get my thoughts out to everyone regarding this topic. Better late than never (so they say), so in a word - SWEEEET &#33; It really doesn&#39;t get any better than this. Been using SoulSeek for less than two weeks, and my music collection has increased by more than 10X&#33; And we&#39;re not talking about a bunch of random mp3s which need to be sorted out, re-tagged and organized by album (that is - IF you finally get all the songs needed to complete the album)......Nope, you get the whole she-bang - 100% FULL albums, all songs correctly tagged and the kbps everyone is ripping their stuff at is top notch quality&#33; This is the place for real Music Enthusiasts.

Gotta give credit where credit is due, so Thank-You FuNkY CaPrIcOrN [R.I.P] &#33; Had I not read your post "Musicworld Database, Get Your Music Here", I would still be screwing around with those freaking &#39;verified hashes&#39;

In addition to the great music, all of us who hang out together there have a lot of fun talking to and teasing each other.

Thanks to EVERYONE for not only sharing their music, but for graciously giving their time to help me out with a few of my hardware/software problems as well.

So c&#39;mon over and give us a visit&#33; But please remember what FC said in his original thread:

Rules:
1) Music only, if you want Movies, Software or Games - stick with KazaaLite please.
2) No leechers...at least be sharing 100 songs with the rest of the group.
3) When ripping your CDs Rip them at 192 Bitrate or higher for better quality.
4) If you come into the room with a different name then what is used at the forum...PM somebody that is in the room to let them know you are a member.

---

Gotta run for now - I probably have another dozen albums that have completed in the time it took me to write this post which need to be moved from my download folder into my shared folder :P

Hey, FC&#33;&#33;&#33; you need to come home for a while, think you have had enough days off ;)

Glad to see so many positive posts about SS. Its the best place we have been to where you can actually dl mp3 albums and chat to members without the hassels of learning IRC scripts - which a lot of people find confusing. Also, the amount of good quality music i have obtained has been extreme to say the least. Sure there are rules there too - just like here - but we are in our own way helping to contribute to this board as well by asking every new visitor to register here first. Now that may sound pointless as they can register here and then start taking our songs - but at the same time they must share and hopefully will get to like this board as well and start posting here.

So, i recommend joining our little (not any more) community and start sharing your files and meeting the members. The whole idea being a dream of FC&#39;s to create a worldwide database of good music - therebye making it easier to obtain the stuff.

Peace

Hmm. It seems some people really like Soulseek, but I have to tell my experience.

SS: the movie - At the recommendation of FC, I downloaded SS and got started. After some time, I was able to connect and retrieve the room list. However, I couldn&#39;t find the KLF room. I found no option to put the room list in alphabetical order. So I ditched it, and tried again another day.

SS: the sequel - So I tried again, this time, I managed to get into SS, found the Klite room, and follow the instructions that another user posted: join room, add all users to buddy list, right click user, and browse files. However, out of 13 people that were in the room at the time, only 2 people were sharing files.

SS: the trilogy continues: One last time I gave it a whirl. Found the room, tried again, but had no luck. So in the chat area, inside the KLF room, I tried to ask politely for help. 30 minutes later, not one response. Finally I gave up on the room idea, and tried to do a basic search for files. All I ended up with were a bunch of low quality rips.

Which brings me to today. I really don&#39;t recommend this program to anyone. However, as I&#39;m a newbie at SoulSeek, maybe I did something wrong. I&#39;m very familiar with filesharing programs. I use eMule, Kazaa and WinMX and I can make my way around IRC like a pro. Anyone want to offer some advice?--

Thats one of the problems with the room in ss- we have to manually add each user. So if you joined the room and most users were away from there PC (not uncommon) you&#39;d have to wait for the users to come on and add you to there buddylist before downloading.
I&#39;ve been using the KLF room for some time now and I have nothing but good things to say about it.

Also - a lot of the users dont actually announce they are NOT there. The option is to click on the AWAY button, which changes your icon from a bird in flight (at home) to a bird with the wings down (AWAY) - not everyone does that im afraid which is confusing for someone who has just entered.

There is also another option in the settings that allows you to automatically be AWAY if you minimize the programme to the system tray. This is good because if you minimize SS then you cant see the chat to participate anyway - but if a message is sent to you or your nick is mentioned, then the icon in the system tray flashes.

The programme can be somewhat of a resource hog, especially on older computors or PC&#39;s with little RAM. Also, as mentioned, each user must add you personally to their lists - even if you have added them.

It is suggested that you dont have any other programmes running that also need a lot of system resource - other IRC programmes etc. Surfing dosnt seem to be too effected but can be slower -especially through modems.

When downloading files from other users, its allways best if possible to DL from those with higher speed figures - these are to the right of each nick. This is especially important for modem users. Also, dont have too many slots open for DL/UL - for a modem i would suggest 1 or 2 slots for your own download and the same for uploads - but experimenting will help. Also it is recommended NOT to mess around with the KBPS options. This allows you to strip the bandwidth for UL/DL - leave them at 0.

There are many issues im sure - but i hope i have answered some of them.

Please dont give up Jibbler.

Peace
UKMan

If no one is about then pm them. They will get your message as soon as they come back to the site.

Right click on the name and send message to user. Just type something like please add me to your list.

Next time I am on I will see the message and add you. I just leave it running most of the time in the background so I&#39;m connected probably 15 or 16 hours a day. Obviously not there all the time, but you will be added to my list within a day. I am sure everyone else will do the same, we all know you.

It really is worth it if you want reliable links to verified music, directly downloaded from people you know. It really is a wysiwyg thing. No hashes involved. If someone is sharing a file you can see it. You may have to wait in a queue, but not for long.

Come on Jibbler,you got to join us.Normally have about 20ish people in room so look around that mark on the rooms list,you should find us easier then.

As for not being there,just be patient as most of us are on 24/7 and will see your message in the room when we check our screens.As JimiF said just PM a few of us to let us know your on your way and as soon as you get there we will all add you. :)

Just wanted to let people know we are still. Please join us. You won&#39;t regret it.

hey&#33;&#33;&#33; I am the MP3_G0d u know....I&#39;ll have to check this out of course.....

Oh and Summerlinda...thx for letting me know I wasn&#39;t the only one there&#33;&#33;&#33;

hmmm...couldn&#39;t we do something similar with say...the fusion mod for eMule?? it would be pretty simple...just add a KLBOARD community...

just a thought...maybe we could do something like that for files other than MP3s perhaps....

like I said..just a thought

sounds good - I&#39;m trying it out now...
