Thanks to all for the replies on this particularly Giannis, Fab, Martijn, Jamil, Briggs, O, you're all on my user list (where you've priovided a name, O you already were - we've talked before!).
Here's a reply I made to Giannis earlier today: > As far as the slsk thing goes what your answer indicates is > that really I should find another filesharing utility as I > really don't have the time to follow your advice!

One room i recommend is this-> 313 .And believe > me, some real diamonds float in the slsk network" Giannis gave me a reply with a few good tips and thanks to the rest of you I've got others to try too - particularly the Wishlist. To answer some of the other points I do already "donate" to get privileges but this doesn't help. There seems to be 3 things: Some people have moved on from slsk. Many only share with others on their list. Some new versions of Soulseek are incompatible with older ones or themselves! > Question: any other p-2-p programm that u find good besides Soulseek? No I haven't tried others, I'm a greenhorn with little time for experimentation - I need you lot to do the hard work for me : ) Recommendations anyone?
