I just found out about it the other day. Its literally p2p file sharing. You can let people visit designated directories on your local file system and go visit theirs. Its fast and personable. They even have an AOL IM thing going on. I found out about it because they’ve got a lot of music and its relatively difficult to find good music torrents. I thought it was basically transmission or another torrent client, but its totally different. Linux Mint has the FOSS client Nicotine+ in their repository. The whole process was quick and easy. Find me there under the same user name.
Can’t believe more people don’t know about it. I’ve been using it for 20 years now.
That’s insane I felt it had to be something new
Yep. When Napster went down, it was Kazaa, and when that folded, I moved on to Soulseek. It came out at the same time or right before Limewire lol. it ran just fine on 450mhz cpu, 128MB ram.
i didn’t even realize soulseek was still around. i used it back in hs 20 years ago
