I've been on soulseek for about a week and a half now, and it's taking it's toll on a 56k user. I've had very little sleep, as maintaining the connection on my pc is hard, but it's really good. there is a vast amount of stuff to be had. I'm also only really into getting DJ sets, with the occasional "try before buy" track download. Am currently waiting for 1 Derrick Carter set, 2 live Coil performances, 1 Stacey Pullen set, 1 Terrence Parker set, Autechre live @ Sonar 2000, Steve Bicknell set, 1 Atmosphere track & 2 Steve Reich pieces. Of course, I don't expect to have all that for at least a week on my connection, but it'll be worth it and there's plenty more to come.
Someone mentioned winmx, I haven't used it but a friend was telling me about it. It has a feature that AG had, which means that if you start downloading a file from someone and they go offline, if any other user online holds the same file, it will continue getting the same file from that other user, so you could end up getting one download from many peoples' computers. With slsk once you initiate a download, you are dependant on the owner being online at the same time as you, which means that downloading a 160Mb set on a 56k connection can take a very, very long time................. I just wish I'd had a music capable PC before AG died, it sounds like it was great.

I've used LimeWire but can't find diddly on it. Kazaa and Kazaalite, while I'm able to find what I'm looking for, load spyware and so far also a couple of viruses (luckily I have Ad-aware and good virus protection - but the pop up Russian porn windows aren't appreciated here at work). Please help, I just want to be able to download some decent mix sets, live tracks, and the occasional old school hardcore punk rock tune - what are some P2Ps that are free of the add-ons?
