    No I’ve mostly just used jackett and qbt’s default searchers. I used to use tixati in the past and that was great, with share searching and text chat communities

      Do yourself a huge favor and download Nicotine+ (which is a client for Soulseek, you can also use the official SoulseekQt I guess but it’s old and not as feature-rich). That and Spek to make sure you don’t get any fake bitrate files from people.

      The only two real downsides to Soulseek, imo, are the fact that a lot of the chatrooms are basically unmoderated IRC (So many nazis to ignore. So many.), and the problem of fake bitrates. The huge upside is you can find pretty much any and everything on there if you wait for the right people to be online to share it. I’ve found quite a few rare albums and such that I couldn’t get from my usual gettin’ places.

        The unmoderated chatrooms can be a bit crazy, but you are able to mute users which is nice. Also, it kinda reminds me of the olden days of the internet…I’m a millennial so it’s kinda nostalgic lol.

      Tixati sounds just like Soulseek! I’ll look it up. Also yes, QBT’s search is amazing.
