Direct Connect

STaN

Just wondering...

Would any of you guys want to get together to share music collections in a Peer to Peer type setup?

Similar music, maybe get some tracks that are hard to find etc etc.

Let me know your thoughts or idea's how to do it.

Direct connect is mainly used/good for getting ISO's n divx,
I wouldn't recamend it for searching for music!
IMO soulseek.org is the best ****ing program ever(appart from Audiogalaxy)
I love slsk the way you can download people's folders n ****.
How about we just create a room on that?
It was done before on a forum... kinda suceeded, but as per usual they all die off...

Ste-

I'd be up for it. Soulseek that is.

Lenny

join the room ireland
no capitals in it, cause i think slsk is case senstive

Instructions on how to use this?

Lenny

Well, its fairly easy,
there is only 1 server.
download the program located on www.slsk.org
open it, set your shared folders.
then connect(does automaticly) (can be down at times)
Then on your right you'll see your added userlist(you'll have none since its your first time) and below that you'll see a lot of rooms
right click, and go to "create room"
and type in "ireland" without prompts and lowercase, you *should* see epople in there, they join!
when you join a room you see a user list for people in the room, right click their name and click on "browse files" and you'll get their file list if they have it public.
you can have your file list set to private and only the people on your added faverite list can download off you, you can also set the speed which you want to send files to users at.
its not as complicated as DC, believe me! It took me a good week or two to difcover how good DC was!

I just joined that forum, I normally hang around the Techno or IDM rooms.

I have about 800-900 sets shared as well as a good few tunes, I'd love to do some postal trades until my connection is finally sorted out in March [I hope, Eircom, useless bastards]

We can't all have the luxary of Broadband, ya know? Anyway, if somebody has a big/small collection of sets, anything except Trance [from Ireland and beyond], just gizza buzz & I'll look after you.

I have all the UR, Eevolute & Metroplex stuff and loads more.

Remember, buy the rekkids and support the scene, while we still have one!

Proper Bo!

its www.slsknet.org now lenny, www.slsk.org seems to be some dodgy site these days.

STaN
