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.
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.
Oof.
