since albumbase is down (at least for my internets) i have no idea where to get some new music besides this board here.
in the past i used soulseek but direct downloads from rapidshare etc are just so superior to that so guys i need some help
torrents
more than 50% internet traffic all over the world is transfered via p2p, btw
if u need http sites, try forum.funkysouls.com, mediaportal.ru, www.google.com (works the best so far)
But i really have no clue what http sites are popular now. I use torrents only
ok thx i am familiar with torrent from the past.
uhm am i supposed to "seed" stuff or is leeching only ok?
i am asking coz people how upload stuff could be jailed here in germany

yeah, some german guy said it but i believe it's illegal only if u're using GERMAN trackers. well, it's not legal anyway, but he said german police and anti-piracy organisations don't pay much attention to forreign-torrent-sites-users.
If you use torrent-site where registration is required, then you must sed (upload) in order to be able to leech stuff
The best torrent-trackers now are waffles.fm, what.cd, stmusic.org.... they are all invite-only private sites

Only real issue is most of them use rapidshare which cuts you off after an album or two unless your a member.

Love it.
same here. ODB rulez!!!
I've been using Soulseek for years - but kind of like the pre-register torrent sites (like DimeADozen.org, etc. where you have to seed and keep a certain ratio otherwise you have to donate a small amount of $ to continue using), with Soulseek you need to be sharing files with others otherwise you're liable to get 'banned' from the person you're dl/ing from and have to try someone else... but as long as you have files to share, I've usually been able to find what I'm looking for - Full albums... bootlegs and live recordings can be kinda tricky, just depends on who has 'em and if they stay/get online enough.
As for torrents, I use uTorrent and you can search for and leech (d/l) albums (among other things) without having to re-seed - look around www.isohunt.com , www.btjunkie.org , www.thepiratebay.org , etc. (You must use a BitTorrent client to download torrents available)
Just thought I'd throw in my 2¢
i really don't like soulseek. too much crap can be found there: transcode, bad tagged shit, low bitrates, missing tracks... Crap.
Just speaking from personal experience Zevaka, if you know what you're what you're looking for music wise and details (bitrate info, proper tags, etc.) I haven't had too many problems in the past.
well. your english is rather mysterious or i'm too tired, i haven't got the whole idea of your last post.
anyway, i'm bittorrent fan, speeds there are much greater than in slsk, and quality is much, much higher. Yes, i'm not ta;lking about TPB, i'm talking about good music torrent-sites
