depends, if it's not "hot" stuff (that copyright owners will search and take down) the internet archive sounds good

torrents are gonna die if nobody seeds, soulseek needs you to be online for someone else to download

    I swapped to slskd from Nicotine+ recently and am pretty happy with it. I don’t usually download from the soulseek network much but I like having my media available for sharing, so I really like slskd’s headless running option. Also it automatically picks up on changes when files are added to or deleted from the shared folders. With N+ I had to set up another container in docker specifically to restart the N+ container on a schedule to trigger a rescan of the shares.

    I mainly use it for music. There's a lovely plugin called tubifarry that makes lidarr useful for me. Even works through gluetun with port forwarding!

    I get spotty results on soulseek for my music searches because I have a personal preference for .FLAC files which don't seem to be as frequently available (or they're .FLAC files converted from lower quality formats). I use qobuz-dl for my music downloads, which then get shared to soulseek (along with my tv shows, movies, and books), so I guess I'm at least helping to cover the gap I identified for my use-case. Soulseek comes in useful for me when it comes to ebooks, though. I've gotten most of mine off of there, I think.

    I have just recently got it set up so I haven't had too much time to use it yet. From a few test searches after that, I was able to pull flac each time as that is my preference as well. I'll keep your suggestion in mind moving forward, thanks!
