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!

    1. No.
    2. Yes.
    3. I’ve only used Nicotine+ and it’s fine.

        Caveat : some individual users may block you for not sharing or never being online, however the network itself won’t ban you.
