Hello, i’ve been thinking about using soulseek for the very first time to download some music and such. I had a couple of questions from the c/piracy community.

  1. Do i need to stay logged in on soulseek even if i am or am not sharing stuff? Obviously i can’t be online and have my pc powered on 24/7 as i have a life outside the web (and other things aswell). so i hope that’s understandable as to why i asked, i was worried i’d get banned if i don’t be online like all the time.

  2. Would a vpn work just fine with soulseek even if the vpn has support for port forwarding? There’s an obvious reason as to why i’d use one.

  3. Which soulseek client should i use, Nicotine+? or soulseek’s actual client (i use Linux Mint, in case y’all were wondering. I might move to debian though!)

That’s all i want to ask for now, hopefully these aren’t dumb to ask. I’ll be waiting for replies (might not reply to all of them so i apologize), thanks!

        That would be kinda funny lmao, speaking of linux… i might probably move over to debian! i heard that new debian update came out (which is Debian 13) and i just thought it wouldn’t hurt to use that one, i have used debian too in fact! debian 12 felt cozy much like how mint is cozy. (And debian is also where i tried KDE for the very first time and loved it ever since!)

        I have also used arch before for a good while, but i moved back to mint for a bit cause i kinda got tired of constantly having to update stuff every single time. I loved arch too though! However, i usually used archinstall to just install arch. I never really bothered with manually installing arch myself much like how i’ve seen many arch users do

      No, i just thought when i said something about a soulseek client i kinda thought someone would ask “wait what operating system do you use?” and i thought it would’ve been alright to clarify about that. Putting that in the post wasn’t supposed to be some variant of the arch btw meme.

      My apologies for the confusion.
