Can I introduce you to soulseek? I promise it's going to serve way better than torrents for that kind of stuff.
I don't really get, why people praise soulseek so much. It lacks the resilience of torrents. There is much cool stuff, but no quality control and structure. And the cool old stuff is artificially locked in order to keep it rare.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "artificially locked in order to keep it rare"?
You can lock the files you're sharing, so that other people can see them, but are unable to download. Unless they are specifically allowed to do so. Many people that do this only unlock the files if you have something good to trade (that's also locked) or you pay them
