Many times i've been blocked from downloading files from users and i assume they're either personally blocking me or using an auto leeching plugin. But im not sure why, if I had to guess it would be because my download to upload ratio is complete shit cause no one wants any of my files.

I've got 1tb+ of various content in my public files. Music, movies, tv shows, sports events and games.

I have a client running 24/7. Not long ago, I switched my VPN provider, and I noticed a lot of people queueing a folder, then cancelling once one item in the folder is fully downloaded. Reported download speed seems alright, but seeing how a lot of downloaders are doing this, I wonder if I should take this as a sign that the node is not running properly. If it's just me, then I'm open to VPN provider suggestions. I am currently using ProtonVPN.

From time to time I stumble upon a tiny (usually Japanese) indie artist whose music I like but can't for the life of me find a place to either purchase or pirate their music.

One example is "凸凹凸凹 (ルリロリ)". I've had them wishlisted on Soulseek for the better part of a year and have scrounged different websites with no luck. Amazon Japan has their discography but only in .mp3, and finding physical media isn't really possible as I am a European resident.

Does someone know of a source they could point me to? It's driving me nuts :D

Thank you!

Ive got a CSV of music from Spotify and would like an easy way to find and download these playlists. Is there a client that can do this?
