OSA peer to peer network

[jamie_crichton]

Anyone fancy contributing to making a program. Like a little project, it could be a free download when you register as a oldskool member! also help people listen to their tune after its id'd. I would say most of you have used kazaa or audiogalaxy. Why not make a oldskool anthemz file sharing network of its own. i am doing a programming course and could supply some of the programming.

Just an idea.

Put ure hedz togetha

 

[Red Mancunian]

Good idea, but does anyone here have the technical knowledge to do something like that?

There's always the security issue probs as well...

I'll put everything I have into my 'shared folder' if anyone can do it, though...

Get yourselves on soulseek with the rest of us, in the OLDSKOOL 88 94 room.

I know it's not the greatest program but there's loads on there and if you don't want to share with everyone you can set up a users list to share with. I reckon this is an easier solution than writing a whole new program

www.slsk.org to download the proggy by the way

 

[Tigger]

How do I create a new user - can't see any options on the webby or in the prog?????

 

[Tigger]

sussed it - just need to come up with a user name noone else has! I'm jigglytigger!

before i start putting mounds of effort into doing the coding for the program am i allowed to do this. Does anyone have any objections to having a file sharing network program for oldskool mp3's.

anyone have any ideas of clubs or record shops which sell the tunes which i could put as links like on kazaa

lmfao @ mikes signature that episode of partridge is class.

 

[butty]

it would be illegal mate for me to have a mp3 file sharing program on my servers and call it the site name - if u want to make 1 urself mate and the users on the board want to use it then obviously theres nowt i can do about it and so that wud b fine just as far as making 1 for the site it isnt worth risking getting the whole site shut down for the benefit of the mp3 collectors

but by all means if u do make 1 then let people on here know as im sure people will b mad for takin part

 

[jamie_crichton]

oooooops

k gunna have to change the name i feel a lil compotition comin on!

whoever comes up wid a suitible name wins erm they win a jar of keswick mint cake how about that for a prize.

seriously i will do one off my own back then without anything to do wid oldskoolanthemz.co.uk for the safety of the site

nice 1 mate - i think its a good idea n all just gotta think of the site as a whole ya see coz if i got it all shut down coz of mp3's then the people on the forum who came on to chat wud b after my nuts wudnt they

im sure ul find if u get 1 sorted then the members wud b mad for it n e ways - its about time there was sum decent old skool sharing type thang.

 

[jamie_crichton]

yer now audiogalaxy has gone there is nothin! i am sick of searchin on kazaa for rave or oldskool and gettin absolute shite.

before anything i will have to sort out some sort of disclaimer from gettin permanently skrewed.

i got 2 week till i go back to college anyway so plenty of spare time on my ands and im behind on programming so i need to refresh my head hopefully this is what i need.

Once Ive d/loaded the soulseek ver 138 from the link, how do I get it to work. I have the slsk.exe on my desktop but when I click it it just goes through the inst process again!

I cant even see a way of entering a username...WTF am I doing here????

 

[jamie_crichton]

go to start menu then programs and look for soul seek it will be in there.

 

[pacman]

Cheers mate

 

[Fusion]

soul seek is probably the best peer2peer so far where you can actually go in the room for your musical preferences Oldskool 88 94 room is awesome.

 

[CybaSmuggla]

Well,I'm glad the Soulseek idea is finally catching on..Jamie,thats a good idea and all,but,its allready been done with slsk.Mind you,it looks to be in jeopardy also,with the volume of users,to the need for servers..So I suggest we hoy each other and create a main OS user list,i've added those I come across...,its a great concept,but getting busy,so get in there.

 

[jamie_crichton]

sod making my own im getting too many tunes from soul seek!


looks like its taking off get ready for the launch

 

[jamie_crichton]

helllloo

i have been having probs when i have been using soulseek!

my computer just restarts by itself when it feels like it.

if this is you then i have the solution.

right click my computer> click properties> click the advanced tab >
look down the box where it says on system failure uncheck the box that says manually restart.

hope this helps.

i am just chuffed i started a worth while post...lol let me be
