Three or so years ago, the general search results in slsk were always amazing. I think that over the years slsk users have "closed" up their collections and only offer downloads to folks on their user list. I have to agree with Fab. You are much better off getting' to know people in the chat rooms... a friendly exchange will almost always lead to an invite to check out mp3's. By the way, my slsk user name is "faceless_corporation". Feel free to have a look-see.

I've been using it for a while now but to be honest I'm not finding it as useful for listening to rarities as I hoped. For example right now I'm searching for Aquarian Project, t'n' i (I'm after tracks by these 2 I was tipped off about by posts on this list!) and "Instant House" and coming up with zero results and for Insync and only getting 3 results (but that does prove my setup is actually working in some fusion). At the time someone recommended leaving the search going for a little while, these have been going for days. I remember at the time someone saying "you can get anything you want - Bulgarian folk bands etc.", obviously this isn't what I'm finding, what is other people's experience? F
