Is anyone having problems with Soulseek? Does it seem to slow down your computer, or show errors when loading the program? What's the best way to fix or prevent this stuff from happening?

Thanks for the info, 1981baby, I'll check out that forum. Incidentally, which "rare full" albums are you looking for (it's such a vague term sometimes)? Let me know, I'll see if they're in the archives somewhere.

Cool, I'll be on the lookout for it. I really should make an inventory listing of what I have, might make an interesting weekend project. [:)]

I'm on slsk all the time. I am apparently the #1 distribution spot for Josie Cotton's and Killer Pussy's MP3s.

Problems I ran into:

1. being perpetually cued with no d/l in sight
2. Transfers that always "fail"
3. files that perpatually are initia

British, would you possibly have "Do the Blackout" by Josie Cotton? I've been looking for that one.

As a matter of fact, I do! Thanks to Ollie Stench for ripping it for me, it has now achieved digital immortality.

sadly I lost numerous MP3s from her 1990s album "frightened by Nightingales". msg me on Soulseek(obscure80s) and I'll add you to my list.

I always thought of the Haysi Fantayzee album as "charmingly bad" myself. [:)]

The Trouser Press guide calls the Haysi Fantayzee record "one of the most intentionally annoying records of all time." That's about right, but "Shiny Shiny" is gold.

I don't think I've listened to the Planet P project beyond "Why Me."
