Limewire v Soulseek

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Everyone on this message board seems to use Soulseek. When I decided last year to get some filesharing software I was told by friends to look at Kazaa or Limewire, and in the end I went for Limewire. It seems to work pretty well, but nobody in ILM ever mentions it. I've done a 'Search' on it and the only people here that mention it are Mac users. Am I missing out on something? Should I get Soulseek instead?

but only if you're on a t1 and are going to share 30,000 songs that are things I don't already have and am looking for. Otherwise, no

LW is better for single songs and slsk better for albums I've found...

I'm pretty sure the Lamborghini had a leather interior.

I think i'm an idiot as I can never get soulseek to run.
Anybody wanna come over and show me how?
I've got 23,000 mp3's for the sharing...

2004: The year of firewall misconfiguration induced pickup-linery.

Less a pickup line and more a desparate tech-unsavvy cry for help.
Still, no fat chicks.

Most people I know have problems with it for one of three reasons:

(1) Firewall is turned on - it needs to be off.

(2) They don't understand the whole bit about queueing - always select the files in bold, not the greyed out ones.

(3) They're idiots.
