I’m new to Soulseek. Got my Nicotine+ docker set up w/ VPN through gluetun. I’m good to go. Port forwarding is working correctly and I’m sharing a little over 100GB of flacs that I have ripped personally with EAC and a couple people have downloaded some of my stuff, which is really cool. I don’t have privileges rn.

But I there are a lot of albums that I’ve lost over the years that I see on SoulSeek. I want them. But I want to make sure I don’t get blocked or banned. So, say a person has 3-5 whole albums that I want. Is it proper to just download them all at once? I’ve seen things like this on one person’s profile page:

If you start browsing my share like it is a shop and queueing everything you come across e.g. whole artist folders, I will just remove you.

So a little guidance from this community would make me feel a little more confident?

There are some users who are dicks that ban people, but you’ll only be banned from that one person’s downloads. If it happens just download from someone else who’s not a psychopath about it. Most people on soulseek want to share. It’s not a private tracker and there’s no e-penis to be gained. DO share your own collection though because you might as well.

It’s not a private tracker

what exactly is it, though?
