Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

If OP takes the Soulpill, I offer some tips:

• Don't despair if search results carry a [private] prefix. Some of these people just got frustrated once upon a time and decided to whitelist peers rather than blacklist. Often they just want a polite PM asking for access. It pays to be inquisitive, so check their User Info for information.
• Chat rooms don't need to be occupied to obtain or download search results. In fact it's usually better to ignore them.
• 99 per cent of users would rather you share 3 albums than 500 system files.

Soulseek!! It's awesome

Honestly I gotta second SLSK here. More specifically nicotine+ since it's better. That and yt-dlp works on bandcamp and youtube music (if this whole youtube bullshit hasn't fucked it up, I haven't checked but I also haven't noticed the outcry I'd expect.)

It's not torrenting but for music it's better. Protip, slap just over 1k files in your "shares" folder to evade the autoban jerks.

(note this is different from the other rutracker so make sure it's .org) is a Russian tracker with a lot. From what I've seen, most of their flac is from Quboz but I mostly go for popular stuff so idk about about more niche music.

Honestly, even though it's a pain, it might be worth it to just bite the bullet and try for the Redacted interview. I've been thinking of this for myself.

such as Redacted or Orpheus, but life is what it is (invites are understandably hard to come by).

RED has an interview to get an invite, it's free.
