    Screw limewire, soulseek is the way, an endless sea of perfectly organised music libraries, you’ll find what you want and stuff you didn’t know you needed.

      Thanks for this. I’d not heard of soulseek. I’m an *arr person with Usenet. It’ll be nice to see if I can find some rare / missing items.

        I am a mildly net savvy person who only knows about torrents and file sharing. Can you point me to resources where I can learn more about Usenet? Also, what client and service do you use to access it? Thanks in advance.

          Unfortunately, R#ddit is still a great resource for that. Check out the /r/Piracy wiki.

          To summarize, Usenet is made up by servers that host all the “newsgroups”, but nowadays newsgroups are used to share files (like email attachments).

          You don’t need to know anything about Usenet itself, the things you need are three:

          • an indexer (they let you find nzb files, like torrent files)
          • a Usenet server subscription (where files are actually stored)
          • a client to download from that server (nzbget and SABnzbd are the two most used)

          Good luck!

          Trashguides is a good place for the arr applications.

          Tldr you’ll need a hoster, newshosting is what I use And an indexer drunkenslug is one I use. I have 6. Lol

          Indexer is the search that points to the files hosted on the hoster.

          Good luck!

      The problem is when they’re perfectly organised in a different manner from what you expect :D

        I organize them into

        Source (Bandcamp, Deezer, etc) --> Artist - Album --> Files

        It’s easy to navigate and makes handling multiple versions of the same album easy because they are seperated into source folders.

          Now I’m sad that it already has a name - I don’t get to name my diagnosis.
