Kazaa is absolutely garbage for EDM. To get around these queues on soulseek, set up a paypal account, and donate $5 a month for 'priveledged' status, which puts you at the front of the line for most downloads, as well as gives you much better results in each search you do. I've never done it, but Graham [highroller] swears by it. If I hadn't found themixingbowl, I'd probably have begun to donate myself.
EDIT
I still miss audiogalaxy. The one site where I could always find the rarest of all rare 12" vinyls ripped at 256k quality. Stupid people who liked metallica and eminem got it shut down! |
I used to use audiogalaxy too! I don't use Kazaa much...I've gotten everything I've possibly could out of it. I was using WinMX for awhile...but it's almost impossible to get an entire set, it's in que for months! What's themixingbowl? |

I tried WinMX, it was ok, but the downloads were very slow. Soulseek is good, but the speeds aren't as high as kazaa because their download system only allows you to download off of one person at a time.
Themixingbowl, is a forum board, like this one, dedicated to electronica files that aren't copyrighted. So on it, you'll find live mixes, ripped radio shows [essential mix, Kiss FM etc] and in great variety. You won't find any singles, or CD rips, or anything that is commercial on the site, so if your looking for any of those, soulseek is still the place to look.
I don't know if you know anything about bittorrent, but I'll give you a short run-down on it anyway. It's a file sharing program, but what makes it different is that it doesn't have a search engine, or a list of members using it. What happens, is you'll go to a site like themixingbowl, check out the threads on the forum which have sets you'll wanna download. Download a small text file basically giving the code your bittorrent program needs to locate the 'swarm' of the file. Open up your bittorrent program, load that text file, and depending on the number of other people online sharing/downloading that file, you'll get a wicked fast download. The drawback of bittorrent downloads is that you have to share to make them work properly. If people just download and shut down the program, very quickly the swarm will diminish into only a couple people sharing only a couple parts of the download each, causing messy incomplete files, or 'dead torrents'.
So in short:
Bittorrent is very fast, because you're not downloading off just one person, but everyone who is simultaneously downloading the file at the same time, as well as everyone who is sharing that file.
Share and seed torrents after you've downloaded them, so other people can have a chance to download the file as well.
themixingbowl is a good resource if you don't mind sharing a little after you're done.
the bittorrent program I use is bit tornado. Good speed, and pretty easy to use:
bit tornado
PS just to give you an example of bittorrent speeds, on themixingbowl, the previous week's essential mix is always up within a couple hours after the show airs. The last 4 weeks, the slowest that I've downloaded one of those shows was an average of 70KB/s. |

| Sly thanks for all your advice...REALLY helpful!!! Will def try out soulseek (and if not 100% good then will try mixingbowl). Totally agree on Kazaalite...completely sucks for EDM, although some of the mainstream stuff has been available. |

Thanks Sly_Guy! Steve told me about Bit Tornado...that's what I used to get the Ferry set. I don't know much about bit torrents though. Thanks for the info.
I'll give themixingbowl a look too! Does it have old essential mixes, or new ones? or both? And are they kept on the forums forever or do they expire like after a month or something?
Thanks again!! |

They have both old and new. It's just much harder to find old stuff so it's something very notable about the website. Essentially the torrents go dead when people stop sharing them, which is why it's important not to hit and run. |

Alright, well thanks again. Steve warned me about sharing as well, so I'll make sure to leave my thing open for a while longer after I get my stuff.
Thanks! |

no problem you two...
At least someone will enjoy this week's essential mix. I tried, but it was just a little too much for me. Oh well, right now I've got about 20 sets I haven't getten around to hearing yet. |
