Hi?

How do you usually download music?

I usually use limewire but was recently told that it could give me viruses. It was recommended to me that I use torrents instead.

So I went and installed Utorrent on my comp. But now I don't know where/how to search for songs I want. I went to mininova but it didn't have the song I was looking for (cryptik souls crew).

Where do you guys normally go to download songs? Does it have a LARGE collection of songs and is reputable? Can you help me please?

Thanks.

p.s. Also, I will give 3 dollars via paypal to whoever can find "cryptik souls crew" for me.

If you have a good antivirus just use Limewire. And dont download the "blank" songs. Theyre songs that are all the same size but have exactly what you typed in for a title no matter what. After a while you can recognize them just by the size.

Torrents are more for full albums or discographies that they are for single songs.

What should I do then?

I dont want whole albums I just want individual songs, for exampel, "cryptik souls crew"... and I tried using Limewire but couldn't find this song with it. ALso a lot of songs I like I can't find through Limewire...

Thanks.

Well if you really want a song, but can't find it on Limewire, you'll have to download the album via torrents. If you can't find the song, or the album... then it must be really shitty, in which case I have no advice for you.

You don't have to download every file in a torrent.

I see. So you are saying that I have to find the album that the song is in, download that, then I will have the song?

How do I find out the albums my songs are in? Also can someone tell me what album "cryptik souls crew" is in please.

Also I recommend thepiratebay and isohunt for torrent files.

I guess more what I meant was:

You have shitty fucking taste in music.

I already told you to use Soulseek and you're still trying to figure out how to find your shitty song.

At this point I don't give a shit and hope you never find the stupid shit you listen to.

Seriously tell me, cunted up shit wad. Did I?

No you didn't. You asked a question "is soulseek still around", which I ignored, because seeing that I was/am having trouble finding a song, I just assumed that wasn't directed at me.

Learn to make sense, cock munch.

Let me get this straight. You don't give a shit, yet you are stil replying to me? So I guess that in your next post (which is coming, I can just see it), you will be doing more of this "not giving a shit" thing, right?

Nigger seed.


and hope you never find the stupid shit you listen to.

And you also hope you will one day find a woman. Guess that's the second thing that's not gonna happen.

(which is coming, I can just see it)

If you're so good at predicting the future, why didn't you save yourself the trouble of making this thread and just started downloading Soulseek to begin?

Hell, even if you didn't have your crystal ball handy all it would have taken was a rudimentary knowledge of the internet and Google search skills on par with those of a slow six year old.

Lol. I know that when people (especially white people, which I am assuming you are, though I could very well be wrong, because you actually sound like a nigger) start resorting to racial slurs is when they are really mad and starting to lose it. Hehe. Knowing that I bug you to the point you start hurling racial insults just puts a smile on a my face.

oh and by the way, Cletus, how do you feel about being schooled by a lowly mongloid? Does that make your already small balls shrivel up even more, to the point that your mother needs to enlist the help of your gay lover to locate them so she might kiss on them, to soothe your fragile, trembling ego?

Thirdly, how the hell do you even know I am asian? I never posted in this forum...so my conclusion is that you actually went and looked up all my posts just to gather ammunition with which to attack me....lol this is both touching and pathetic. Seriously dude, you need to lighten up. It's just an internet forum.

Wrong. Why should I continue reading when the first part of your post already failed to make sense? Even though I probably should have, given that I haven't had a good laugh in a few days and retards never fail to brighten up my day.



If you're so good at predicting the future,

Stop flattering me. I will NOT go out with you. Fuck off please.

Lol? Why do you simply refuse to make sense? Why does being good at predicting the future (which btw, I never claimed, it was you who insisted on it, probably in the hope that if you butter me up enough, I might give you some of the attention you so sorely craze) have anything to do with downloading Soulseek? You are assuming that I already knew about Soulseek, which I didn't and don't, which you would have known, if you weren't such a blathering idiot.


Hell, even if you didn't have your crystal ball handy all it would have taken was a rudimentary knowledge of the internet and Google search skills on par with those of a slow six year old.

But if I did that, how would I be able to bug you with my mongloid-ness, Cletus?

Lawl, apparently you're a slant-eyed, math loving, poor driving piece of shit? Awesome. Nothing cooler than chinks who listen to shitty rap. Try to keep that shit down while you're driving 15 under the limit with your blinker on, no one wants to hear your $50 sub cranking out rattly bass while you're driving in your riced out Toyota Celica.

Are you really too stupid to make the connection? I thought Asians were supposed to be smart? If you were able to predict the future, you would have known how this thread would have gone down, and then known that Soulseek was the program you needed to download your shitty rap song so you could proceed to bob your yellow head to the lame beats.

Also:

Which is the defintion I had in mind for you, mongoloid. Maybe if you weren't such a typical minority, assuming people gave enough of a shit about your race to go through your post history and find out you're a rice eating chigger, you would have realized that.

First of all, lawl@your rage.
Secondly, I am not going to respond further. For a few reasons: 1. My main aim is to find a song that I like, not to get into a flame war. 2. I don't care to expend energy on the likes of you. You are easily offended. And I can back this up. In this thread, I was just minding my own business asking questions. Then all of a sudden, without provocation, you came in and insulted my taste in music. I really don't know why you did that because I never even said anything to you, much less to offend you. The only explanation I could think of was that I ignored your advice to download Soulseek and you somehow took it as an offense against your person, then you went all berserk on me. You have an extremely fragile ego and you take offense easily.

I am going to stop now, because I don't need to pwn someone, who's already being pwned by their own character flaw.

Have a good day, sir.

Actually, I found this thread because I wanted to answer this question myself. For a while, over the last couple months I found this brilliant website called MP3Fiesta.com sounds pretty gay yes I know but after giving them my email (I never got a single piece of spam either) they gave me $10. With this ten dollars I could go through the website and download whatever I wanted, tracks were each 20 cents and albums usually less than the sum of their track prices. AND every week, if I had less than two dollars left, I could receive another $10 for free and continue business as usual. I downloaded about 300 songs before they stopped this whole cycle, as it was a promotional thing for the website. Now you can do the same thing but the money isn't free if you know what I mean. I came here to look and see if there's maybe another website that does this thing and it is still free.

I use Azureus as my torrent client and most of my torrents come from mininova. I have bearshare but its pretty much crap and I don't like it.

Under "done" it says 100%. so I know for sure it's finished downloading. Help please.

Right click on the item in confusion of opening, and click on the "Open Containing Folder" option. It should be the second option down (assuming your uTorrent version is 1.8.1). There is what you should have downloaded. Double-click (or single-click, whatever the hell your settings for the mouse are) and it should work.
If it's ending in .rar, use something like winRAR to unzip it or something along the lines. Or, if you want to save the trouble of downloading other torrents, you could check the file types before you hit "OK" when trying to add a torrent into uTorrent. It gives you the option to uncheck anything you don't want downloaded either.
Take note of where the files are being downloaded to. It could be your "Download" folder on your C: Drive, or the "Download" folder in your "My Documents", but it helps if you know where your shit is heading beforehand if you plan on using, moving, or burning it.

I have replaced Limwire with Frostwire for single file downloads. I was getting tired of the lime and barbed wire looks better. I think it works better, too. I won't give an explanation as to why because I don't really know.
For albums and discographies, I go to thepiratebay.org first before checking elsewhere.

If you have already solved this dilemma, throw coal at someones window with an attached note saying "Merry EFF-king Christmas. Even if you didn't, do this anyways.

Limewire - mainstream, well known songs.

Soulseek - those that are harder to find. Most 'elitist' music lovers use it, the kind that have lots of unknown B-sides and unreleased stuff.

I prefer Soulseek because I like it's similarities with the old WinMX (god rest its soul :()
