do they make you keep watching the ad until you get it right?

Oof.

I dont feel the need to, its all direct peer to peer so you’re downloading one file from one person. Its not like a torrent where you’re downloading little bits of a single file from many people. However it’s still theoretically possible for a rights holder to share something on the network to bait you and get your IP.

Seconding soulseek. It has a lot mare flac than it used to. I more often will find flac of an obscure album and no 320 mp3 than the inverse.

You could scrape the current community and update the db that populates the new one with all the old posts maybe? including the original time stamps? Not sure if thats possible.

yea, once i figured out the freeleech thing, i was off to the races. my ratio has nearly 10x’d what it was since I made this post

that was exactly the problem. I found a more desired torrent and now my ratio is safe 8-)

Thanks a lot. I edited my post, but i don’t think the issue is as clear cut as just the server being slow due an overcrowded network like i thought at first. I just downloaded several gigs from it in under 15 minutes. Im just not seeing those speeds in my seeds. Maybe i have to pick better torrents to seed.

Be a lot cooler if they did
