Would you pay $$$ to jump the queue?
These guys at Soulseek can pay $5 a month for "privileges".

I guess it's better than 'we're poor starving p2p programmers, give us money'. :AP:

they forgot one thing. all those privileged downloaders are getting their files from someone, and that someone is probably a non-privileged uploader. as this is a fine way to create bad feelings within the community (you can upload from me without waiting but I can’t from you etc), i'd steer away from this sort of practice. it goes against the spirit of file sharing and will lead to fragmentation as well. besides, for a few more bucks you might as well be an riaa sanctioned site. no thanks.

I'm using soulseek almost constantly now, its always crashing but I love the content ...
The programmer, nir, needs the money for food, rent, bills ... all the things he prolly skimped on while coding the client ... But I won't be contributing soon ... Aside from the fact that I've got no money ;( ;( ;( , I was pretty close to becoming an audiogalaxy gold member last month (I held off for financial reasons) ... and thank fuck I didn't. And Audiogalaxy was a p2p heavyweight. If I have some money this winter and soulseek is still around and I'm using it as much as i am now, I may contribute. I'd much prefer to install a server client on my machine and contribute that way, but if the server needs a few dollars to keep operating, I wouldnt mind. It will still be a risky bet, tho. :dz: |
I wouldn't, but if there are others that would, thats their choice.

paypal is great and neutral to support your favorite p2p author. it's always an option. :)
