I'm new to Soulseek. Got my Nicotine+ docker set up w/ VPN through gluetun. I'm good to go. Port forwarding is working correctly and I'm sharing a little over 100GB of flacs that I have ripped personally with EAC and a couple people have downloaded some of my stuff, which is really cool. I don't have privileges rn.
But I there are a lot of albums that I've lost over the years that I see on SoulSeek. I want them. But I want to make sure I don't get blocked or banned. So, say a person has 3-5 whole albums that I want. Is it proper to just download them all at once? I've seen things like this on one person's profile page:
If you start browsing my share like it is a shop and queueing everything you come across e.g. whole artist folders, I will just remove you.
So a little guidance from this community would make me feel a little more confident?
I ban anyone that queues up more than one album and doesn't share or shares only their download folder.
Just so you know, the example docker compose file has /downloads as the only volume option for media. So I pointed the internal docker folder /downloads at my whole music library.
So you’re almost certainly banning people who are sharing their whole library if they are using the default docker compose file. For example, you would ban me by that rationale.
First of all you can map more volumes and second of all I didn't mean the folder was called downloads just that its obviously not their music library.

I laughed.
Definitely not going to map to more volumes than necessary. It’s okay if you ban me. I’ll deal with it.
