I saw another post asking how to set up Soulseek and, at first glance, it looks like those old P2P file sharing platforms, like eMule, Kazaa or Limewire.
As someone who used those during their peak, I’m well aware of the risks of getting unwanted stuff, not to mention that you’re fully exposed within the network.
Does Soulseek deal with those issues, or are users exposed to those risks as well?
I would recommend using a modern, open-source client like Nicotine+. Keep in mind the risks of exposing such a service to the internet (like anti-piracy organizations coming after you in some countries). Don’t download executables. Make sure your media players are up-to-date.
Soulseek is in my opinion a good place to find music that’s hard to find elsewhere. I use it almost daily.
