So I saw this post here a couple days ago about music piracy and got interested in soulseek. I've installed nicotine in a docker container and started searching for some music. I've found some pretty hard to find music and this album my father used to have in vynil when I was a kid. Cool. But the files had PRIVATE written on them.. Tried to download but the user did not share them with me. My question is: what's the point of sharing folders in a p2p program and denying access to these folders? I mean..just don't share it if you won't let anybody download it. Am I missing something in order to download this album?

Edit: hey guys I sent a message to the user asking if he could share the folder with me and he answered that he'd added me and I could download whatever I wanted! Great! Thanks for the help!

    Yeah I'm sharing my music library.. It's not much but I have around 15Gb of music I've been downloading since kazaa and linewire era. I have a couple of flacs too now that I have lidarr running. I'm gonna try asking for the files thanks.
