So I saw this post here a couple days ago about music piracy and got interested in soulseek. I’ve installed nicotine in a docker container and started searching for some music.
I’ve found some pretty hard to find music and this album my father used to have in vynil when I was a kid. Cool. But the files had PRIVATE written on them… Tried to download but the user did not share them with me. My question is: what’s the point of sharing folders in a p2p program and denying access to these folders? I mean…just don’t share it if you won’t let anybody download it. Am I missing something in order to download this album?
Edit: hey guys I sent a message to the user asking if he could share the folder with me and he answered that he’d added me and I could download whatever I wanted! Great! Thanks for the help!

Figured that was likely, haven’t found it yet.

Thanks, literally the second option. Blind!
