Downloading Programs for Metal?

[Metal Moose]

Hey everyone, I just have a quick question. What programs do people use to download music?

I buy and support metal on a daily basis, but sometimes it's nice to pre-hear cds to see if it's worth it.

I usually use Limewire, but lately nothing I want is on there. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

DC++ and Soulseek are my programs of choice.

DC++ or mIRC

keep in mind, though, for some of the hubs on DC++ you need a minimum amount of music to share in order to enter the hub

Soulseek.

DC++ but only if you know exactly what youre looking for, Soulseek has a much better "browse" option.

 

[SacredReich]

Yeah Soulseek. Whole albums in minutes, kicks ass.

 

[Wyrd1]

Yeah another Soulseek user. Used to use DC++, but finding good hubs and then hoping they stay up for more than 2 weeks got real boring. Can find most of what I need from SS.

in before "buy your cds you communist bastards"

There are plenty of stable DC metal hubs, I've been using the same 4 or 5 hubs for over a year now and I pretty much always find what I'm searching for, including the really obscure shit. I don't know much about soulseek, but what I've heard DC is way better.

DC++ = win.

Sif buy cds to support bands. Just direct send envelope of cash.

soulseek

I don't download too much anymore. I use DC++ whenever I do download though.

I gave up on SoulSeek a while back when I started using DC++, but maybe I should give it another try. I'm getting tired of looking for hubs.

 

[unknown]

yeah I might try soulseek

There is only one you should ever need.

GrindStuff (this is seriously one of the best you will ever find)
grindcore.no-ip.org

It isn't just for Grindcore or anything ... it has alot of stuff from ALOT of different genres.

 

[unknown]

Yeah, Grind Stuff is the best metal hub I've found...there was one called Metal Hub, but I think it got shut down or something

 

[Lyle]

use soulseek or dc++, to actually get anything on soulseek you need to use the wishlist and walk away from your computer for a couple hours (or masturbate or watch some anime or shoot cats or whatever stupid shit you do), because the regular search is uselss.

or you can use usenet so you can not only get mp3s borken up into a million different parts, but u can read the same crap sr prozack was spamming on every metal newsgroup 10 years ago, only today

 

[The Subjugator]

i only pirate my music

I've been using that hub for about a year, but sometimes I still can't find what I'm looking for. I use a few metal hubs though.

room searching the black metal room and the death metal room works good though!

actually it doesn't
