Soulseek is definitely still alive!

Sometimes I've had success using yandex to search, but there are some films I haven't found even there.

I want to hear more about how Lemmy is like heroin.

Recently finished rereading Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. I really ought to read the other Bas-Lag books. Currently reading Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay

I dont necessarily agree, for example M is from the early 30s and a great movie.

Twitter sucked long before musk bought it. A character limit is just not conducive to many modes of discourse, but that didnt stop people from shoehorning everything into the format anyway. The result is a culture of flippancy, where quips are prized over earnest engagement. I had to stop using twitter in like 2012 because it only ever made me angry, even if I limited my follows to people I agreed with. It's all anwers with no questions, unless they're a rhetorical device in service of the answer.

I hope its not true for the child's sake. They might need that college education desperately.

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

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

Suggested Seedbox Provider (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I was feeling real groovy about my fresh new ultra.cc VPS, but it's slow as fuck! sub 50 kbps upload. I'll never untank my ratio at this rate!

Is this normal? Any suggestions for another provider? At this rate I wonder if I'd be better off just switching from mullvad to a VPN that supports port forwarding. Any thoughts on privateVPN?

Edit: so the FTP speed is much, much faster than I'm getting on my torrent client. Either i don't have something configured right, or i need to be more strategic about what i seed. If anyone can help me trouble shoot, id greatly appreciate it
