But I don't get this thing where BitTorrent is somehow inferior because it requires that people contribute new material to it. WTF? Does the hugeness and coldness of slsk-space make you idiots think all that music comes directly from the aethyr or some fairy catalog or whatever?


I don't know who you're arguing against. No one here is saying that Bittorrent isn't tremendously great; I'm just saying, you don't need to piss all over Soulseek just to point that out. Soulseek is still also pretty great, and still has the benefit of having a lot of music that isn't easily accessible on the average Bittorrent site. If I want to download Michael Urbaniak's "Ekim" track, I'll find it easily on Soulseek, whereas on BT, someone isn't likely going to torrent a single track. Like Hayt, the majority of my music collection was based around Soulseek (and prior to that, Audiogalaxy), and it's only relatively recently that BT music sites have matured enough to have music I actually want to listen to.
