So I saw this post here a couple days ago about music piracy and got interested in soulseek. I’ve installed nicotine in a docker container and started searching for some music. I’ve found some pretty hard to find music and this album my father used to have in vynil when I was a kid. Cool. But the files had PRIVATE written on them… Tried to download but the user did not share them with me. My question is: what’s the point of sharing folders in a p2p program and denying access to these folders? I mean…just don’t share it if you won’t let anybody download it. Am I missing something in order to download this album?

Edit: hey guys I sent a message to the user asking if he could share the folder with me and he answered that he’d added me and I could download whatever I wanted! Great! Thanks for the help!

    Yeah I can understand that about leechers…that’s why I tried to run a docker container to have my files accessible 24/7 in my home server. The same thing with torrent… I let the files a long time seeding to give back what I took. I hope I slowly find some cool music from people that let me download…gonna try asking them to share the folder to see if I get luck…thanks
