Greetings JS

Soulseek seems to be going very well,the software revisions have improved operation quite a bit. There is still the leech problem of course, and the odd use by users in the east to grab content for counterfeit CD's, proven numerous times by embedded audio keys turning up on the CD wave files, keys that have been purposely embedded in the 320k MP3's.

Many users now work list only, with friends, and previously checked upload providers with worthwhile content, so the leech thing does not happen to them.

I am still running my opennap servers for users of WinMx 2.6 that club is still going, though getting less and less users as years go by, personally I take no active part in any supply or download on that network, I use it just as a means to communicate with friends.

I wonder how many are still here of the old gang, I half expected this to be dead, quite a surprise to log in and find all your input, all very interesting and wide ranging stuff, some good links you provide, in fact I would say I should send you a bill for all the time I spent today, when I should have been doing other more menial tasks (far less interesting tasks too) I was deep in your postings...

I'll fly back occasionally to see what gives if I can remember the password again (had 4 goes getting it right just now, had writ it down wrong!!)

Gus.
