Cool!
Is there any good content on soulseek? The last time i downloaded music from that era, it was all 96kbps realplayer audio files totally mislabelled with the wrong artist
- Soulseek has everything literally. most common stuff are actually flac files
  
  awesome! i'll check this out!
  sorry for the n00b question, but why do i need to self host a persistent daemon and then connect to it using a webUI? can't i just use a soulseek client on my local machine? i'm not really familiar with the architecture of soulseek.
- Soulseek has had my back so many times when I need to find a really obscure track that can't be found anywhere else.
  
  Sounds like a modern day WinMX
- you're funny. go have a look.

Is this Limewire v2?

Soulseek is a great network but this shit is proprietary
- What is?
  
  Don't want to bother you but it's directly related to your post, SoulSeek is the network that is used by slskd. It's a peer to peer network mainly for music the problem is that the network is proprietary

- Of course you wouldn't. If it was air gapped then soulseek would be useless. It needs internet to function.
- Looks like the source is available to me if you click the GitHub link?
  
  They are referring to the original software and protocol of Soulseek not the slskd one in the link, no?
- ok
- And most linux distro and software in general are made by American
  
  Doesn't matter who makes the software, as long as it's open sourced and audited.

  And you are very wrong.
