I have ~100 users downloaded ~1000 of my files in the last week alone. Music piracy is still alive and kicking. I encourage everyone to download and install SoulseekQT/Nicotine+/Seeker-Android and share whatever kind of music you have for everybody to download. Let’s bring back music piracy!

I waffle on whether I should use my VPN or not with it.

Support your favourite artists directly. That wasn’t an option in the Napster days.

I like to have the older versions of songs before they “Remaster” and change them and if they stop selling everything but the remasters, it’s time to fire it up.

It use P2P network so I don’t think you need VPN for it…? IDK I’m not an expert.

Well torrenting is also P2P but people generally recommend VPNs for that.

Yea but with torrenting it’s multiple peers you are connected to. Soulseek only connects you 1-1 so it’s generally lots safer.

Ah, I see.
