Soul Seek User's

[Peanut]

Hi what up fam,
Quick question am new to using soul seek, i had it like 4-5 years ago
but i didn't pay attention to it (am a old IRC user)
Question:
Is there a channel/room were i can find old 70/80's music genre ??
-Thanks Peanut

Take a look through the room list, I'm sure you'll find a room with people sharing this type of music.

[yuckfou]

Soulseek is comprehensive to find mp3 and movies, but IRC is faster..

Take a look through the room list, I'm sure you'll find a room with people sharing this type of music.

Ive' only got 22 rooms to choose from, none of them have a description
like 70 music etc,

[Skiz]

Right-click the rooms list and select, 'Refresh Rooms'. Wait 60 seconds or so for rooms to fully refresh.

Also, are you using Soulseek or SoulseekNS? SoulseekNS is what you should be using.

[Col. Skillz]

whats the difference between NS and non NS?

[Funkin']

NS is new server I believe. I could be wrong though(I use the Linux client Nicotine+, so I'm not that familiar with the Soulseek version these days).

And yeah Peanut, once you hit Refresh a ton of rooms will pop up.

thanks funkin i figured that out now, but i must be doing something wrong because im not seeing what's great about soulseek =p

i posted in another thread, the download speeds dont seem very fast and its kinda annoying needing to find the right room for what im looking for when there are so many to choose from, most with only a few users =/

[Funkin']

Well yeah, you're not going to get as fast of speeds as you would at a private tracker(at least I haven't). But I usually get on average around 60kb/s-80kb/s download speed. Which is good enough for me considering how small mp3 albums are. Make sure you have opened a port on your router for Soulseek. That should increase your speeds.

And you don't have to search individual rooms for whatever album you're looking for. Just use the main search function. That will scan everyone's files at once. Much easier than going room to room looking at people's files.

ahh thanks for that funkin, its exactly what i was looking for, a main search. ill go try it now

wow i take it back...using the general search is much, much better....i will now use soulseek and soulseek alone =)

god, there were so many results for bob marley my shit crashed, heh
