I’ve found DC++ public hubs garbage. The private ones are amazing but near impossible to get into if you’re not already familiar. What hubs are you recommending that are better than Soulseek?
I hardly use DC++ anymore. I mentioned it because I didn't find anything unique about Soulseek when I tried it last a few years ago. But I did grab plenty of classical music in lossless format from DC++, using public hubs.
So, it's the "are better than Soulseek?" part of the question that intrigues me. What's good about Soulseek? For lossless collections, it doesn't (didn't?) have much. For lossy stuff? There are better (in selection, availability, and quality) places to grab lossy files from (e.g. YouTube). And Torrents (with or without DC++) would probably have you covered there too anyway.
That is/was my experience with all these platforms/networks. I'm open to learn something new if I'm missing something.
