Hi all,
Well, I received several public and private responses on the subject of a file-sharing forum, it seems to be favorable to most people who responded. If you want to join us, git the software at www.soulseek.org, we're in the entertainment/music/user-created-rooms/IDM room. To search the files of people in the room (only a few of us now :) use the search for files in room button in the toolbar. To browse a user's files right click their name in the room user list and choose Browse User Files. My username there is plaid, got all my techno CDs mp3ed and shared to get things started. Please feel free to mail me if you run into any problems.
Cheers, Nir
