There's these really neat things called Torrents. Soulseek is a security nightmare. - Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:33am

Yeah I know, but I'm paranoid about running Torrents (even running a Soulseek client as well as Torrent goes against Shaw's UAP). What security nightmare is associated with Soulseek? - Tue, 10 Feb 2009 10:59am Edited: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 11:03am

There is malware specifically coded to take advantage of soulseek. There are 2 worms, that have been around for a while now, that target soulseek specifically.

Edit:

Torrents are always better, especially if you're worried about Shaw's caps, which is the only thing you have to worry about. One you seed and complete the transfer to others, you no longer have to seed, others will do it for you. - Tue, 10 Feb 2009 11:58am Edited: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 11:59am

Strange, I've been running Soulseek for a while now, and nothing has happened to me yet. I'm wondering if AVG detects such crap? Mind you, I don't run Soulseek 24/7. I'm not worried about the caps though, cause it's not like everyone is downloading the albums (I only support out of print albums, really).

I've been searching for information about those worms, and have yet to find anything. I wonder if they fixed this in later versions of the client? - Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:04pm Edited: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:10pm

Mydoom and deadhat are the ones I'm mostly familiar with in regards to Soulseek issues. And I'd trust AVG about as much as I'd trust a junkie to guard my house. ESET or Kaspersky are the only 2 virus scanner/suites worthy of purchase/use. - Tue, 10 Feb 2009 2:07pm

Griphin,
What's your soulseek user name? - Tue, 10 Feb 2009 4:27pm

VDRP, of course. :)

Mydoom sounds familiar, I see it's a mass mailing worm. http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2004-012612-5422-99

And I see deadhat is the worm that spreads through Soulseek, then again I have yet to be attacked. It's too bad cause the Soulseek app is a good way to find independant bands. - Tue, 10 Feb 2009 6:08pm Edited: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 6:12pm

I'm still freaked about running a Torrent, and Soulseek has never troubled me. Plus, I think it's a cool idea. - Sun, 15 Feb 2009 2:44am

I just got a bunch of demos by: Breakwater, Curbside, Funbox, Horrid Little Boys, Loud Mouth Mason, New York City Rhythm, Ninth Hour, Onionhouse, Outright, Pilot Light, Purple City, Sludge Confrontations, Stegasorus, SunDogSun. A lot of this music still need to be transfered to computer. Anyhow, thought some people on here might be interested.

Onionhouse is Mission of Christ, well the new version. At which point I miss Mission of Christ. BTW: MoC was one of the better bands that came out of Victoria. - Wed, 4 Mar 2009 3:34pm Edited: Wed, 4 Mar 2009 4:24pm
