incy wincy Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hi,can anybody help? I have recently downloaded soulseek which i really like .i triad shareaza and it didn't impress but thats my opinion. In soulseek i can download no problem yet i've noticed nobody uploads from me,at the bottom of the screen i can see the search term for songs i have .all my music can be shared with others so why ? also,how do i get to know my max download speed?thanks.

Ultimate Predator Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Max download spped will configure itself over time, I have found. People will upload from you, eventually, and make sure in the settings you accepct uploads from everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldmannen Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 You're not making yourself very clear. As for Soulseek there is an article about it on Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soulseek I tried Shareaza some time ago when it was 2.0 and I wasnt very impressed either, now its at 2.2.10 and supposedly it should be better but I havent given it a new try yet. Maybe it can be something with firewall if you have one? Or some setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 People can upload files to you, could be the user who was downloading from you wanted to give you a file back? I wouldn't worry about it, it happens rarely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about it, it happens rarely. 22940[/snapback] could you explain what you mean by this further, how can someone else give files to your computer if you are not downloading them? this sounds like a hackers delight...it could be that i misunderstand what it is you are saying Ultimate, but could you pls further explain it. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incy wincy Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 newhotness this is what happened to me. when i was on soulseek,i had just finished downloading a song that i wanted. somebody was uploading from me already. then in the space where i download someone came in and started to download a song onto me,i let it finish and went to my music and there was the song.i had not requested this song and it wasn't from the person who was uploading. can they do this?

Ultimate Predator Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Maybe there's an option somewhere to disable this... EDIT: Under Options - File Sharing Configuration you can select who you can accept uploads from, it will probably be defualt everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
