I'll try limewire out first.
I want individual songs right now, soulseek is working fine for full albums.
Thanks pubbers.

I've been downloading a lot of full albums, or full collections lately.
Pretty easy to use once you get used to it.
Bittorrent rocks

A high amount of people have stuff in 192 or higher, and always organized by album in folders. So you just hit 'download folder' instead of having to organize it yourself.
www.slsknet.org
Exactly.

The program is unlike all the others people have been talking about. It doesn't have a search engine built in, you have find Torrent files.
suprnova.org is a good place to start, but there are many many others

What you do, is find a .torrent file of whatever you want to download.
Say you go to www.suprnova.org and find a movie you want to download.
You'll download a very small torrent file.
You then open bit torrent, and it should have a little browse window pop up... then you just find the file you downloaded.
The speeds at the start are really slow, but they'll speed up over time.

how do you not find music on soulseek? wish list it...I've only rarely had problems finding music - if its not there immediately, it'll come up on the wishlist in a few days at the most...

You don't understand why soul seek isn't a very good choice for downloading individual songs quickly?
I'm making a mix for a ride I'm going on in the morning.

I saw this ... I usually used soulseek to find albums/shows/everything i couldn't find elsewhere, but if a friend told me about one or two songs I'd probably use bearshare to get them.
Not a big deal though ... because soulseek is way better than any other p2p client.

Limewire. I'll say it again. LIMEWIRE. I got something like 3 months' continuous play off Limewire, for the ridiculously cheap one-off sum of $20. This includes rarities and film clips.

Just got BearShare which seems to be single-song oriented. No good to me, though.

I still dont get it. soulseek, by nature, is single file orientated....just go down the list.
yeah, fuck kazaa - thats where most people who got busted by the RIAA were sharing.
