Personally I love to see someone downloading a shit load of stuff from me. Someone recently got a whole labels releases from me of over 30gb but that just tells me they have good taste in music as far as I'm concerned so I then explored their files and ended up getting a lot of interesting stuff in return.
I think these people with all their locked files asking for shit like gift vouchers in return for the privaledge of downloading a file from them are scummy, so the way you've approached it sounds great to me, you are sharing so grab whatever you need from people. Hopefully they will then explore your files and the cycle repeats!
I haven't used soulseek in probably a decade but are there really people in there expecting payment to let you download music from them?? wtf...
Yeah, I thought Soulseek went the way of Limewire and Kazaa when things like Pirate Bay and whatnot became go-to sites…
I mean, back in the day it was amazing, anything I wanted I could just about find. Random One Hit Wonder Japanese pop-punk band that I only heard about in passing? Yeah I could find their whole discography on Soulseek. It was awesome. I wish I could remember that band now..
I think it is still pretty great, at least for the genre that I listen to it is. You will not find this music on traditional torrent sites and the like where as you can find a lot of it on soulseek. Private trackers may have more of these releases but I cannot be fucked with all that bs.
