As a reward to all the trouble I went trying to better my upload experience, a member of Soulseek royalty hose me down with a healthy dose of royal size snot-tery.
You better abide by the rules, usually a different set per user, I guess, and don't go about using lack of knowledge as an excuse, that's a NO-NO. Newbies need not to apply.
This threw me back to the days of old Albion, where feudal masters ruled with iron hand over their Folders, I mean Castles, making rules as they went.
Oh well, the age of Halcyon sure it's not.
So if the moment comes, be ready to finagle, and resort to ego massaging, because you'll have to go along to get along.
It's no so difficult, just like being a politician. Aaarrrggghhh....!
And to Napho:
Thanks for the suggestion. I only downloaded a movie, JUST one: Monster Inc., and that was enough.
I rent the movies, new releases (DVD), for a day:$ 2.00.
HI-FI Professional grade Maxell tape: $ 0.80 (In bulk).
A tiny black box that performs an innocent "stabilizing": $ 19.00.
Two top of the line Sony VCRs: Priceless
In my 25" TV is hard to tell the difference between original and copy, and there is no Macrovision hangover whatsoever.
Besides, sorting search results in Slsk it's a chore, to say the least.
So I'm going to leave my uploads alone, and let the chips fall where they may.
Snotty-ness gets to me. Just skin deep, dough.
Update:
His/Her Majesty has dispensed me with what look like a genuine Royal Pardon, and if I behave properly, become a buddy list socialite, and my royal dream, a Slsk Knight.
How about His Ubermeister, Sir Spstn.
Ah ! p2p la-la-land !
