Can soulseek be used for books or is there an equivalent app that would work

I'm a broke college student living out of a dormitory on my school's shitty wifi and I've tried time and time again to actually give back to this community. But no matter what I try, because I can't access my college's routers, I cannot share anything. I do use a vpn, but I can really only afford Mullvad and since they don't offer port forwarding anymore my options are even more limiting.

It's never fun getting that message telling me to share my files and knowing that I can't makes it even worse. It's worse when it's an album I really want to get and the only user who has it has me banned because I can't share my library.

Idk. Just wanted to speak my mind. Hope y'all have a good day.

Hello, as the title says, a user has clearly downloaded 2 different artist folders from me, and I know they are mine because I have a very specific way of naming my album folders and they're not very popular artists either, so when I browse their shares and I see the folders there I know they're from me because it's the first time someone has downloaded that artist, yet when I check downloads only one of those folders show up, could this be a glitch?

Sorry if the post isn't worded very well, I don't know how else to explain the situation

So, a pretty simple question, since I’m new to Soulseek. I share the entire folder where I store my whole music collection, and whenever I download new music, I rescan the folder so it updates. Am I doing it right, or is there something different or more I could be doing to share?

I recently moved to a much faster provider. 1Gb up and down. I was kind of excited to see people get the much faster speeds from me but in that time (about 1.5 months) I haven't seen an upload speed over 3,000Kbs

I don't have my speeds limited, either up or down.

I'm sure that for most users, it's just slow on their end, but I get 50-100 uploads a day, generally, and I thought at least some of them should be on fast internet.

For downloads, I've seen over 20,000Kbs and my speedtest numbers match my 1Gig service.

I'm also curious whether the "Kbs" column in the Transfers tab is truly Kilobits per second, or if the "b" is supposed to be capitalized which would make it KiloBytes per second and thus the speeds would be 8 times faster than I think they are.

Just trying to be as helpful to everyone as possible.

Anyone got any ideas?

Is it even possible to browse a user that has appx 2,365,400 files?
