    Cool!

    Is there any good content on soulseek? The last time i downloaded music from that era, it was all 96kbps realplayer audio files totally mislabelled with the wrong artist

        awesome! i’ll check this out!

        sorry for the n00b question, but why do i need to self host a persistent daemon and then connect to it using a webUI? can’t i just use a soulseek client on my local machine? i’m not really familiar with the architecture of soulseek.

          You can just use a soulseek client.

          However I have a build of this daemon running on a Qnap storage device, which is super handy just for ad-hoc music searches, and people can also peruse my music library 24/7.

      Soulseek has had my back so many times when I need to find a really obscure track that can’t be found anywhere else.

            I just looked and it actually is! Kazaa died in the late aughts I believe, and I’m not sure about Limewire or bearshare. Last I heard there was a workaround for Limewire, but it’s completely riddled with viruses and malware.
