Thread: Mininova for your music downloads

I've become a bit disillusioned with Soulseek because it takes forever to get an album - uploaders going off-line, poor transfer rates, etc, etc so I went back to Mininova (one of my old standbys)
http://www.mininova.org/

I downloaded a 4-CD Motown box set, a 30-track best of Marvin Gaye, and a few other goodies - all in the space of about three hours.

I'd forgotten how good it was.

I have never understood why anyone likes Soulseek.....too long to get anything....

I think the advantage of Soulseek Whitey (over Mininova and Torrentspy, etc) is that you can get the more obscure stuff. If your tastes are fairly mainstream then mininova does the job. I've downloaded literally hundreds of rare albums off Soulseek so I'm not going to knock it but it does seem to be a much slower process these days.
