You have to be very active to search and then repeat the searches over time so that you identify as wide a spectrum of potential sources for the material you want as possible. Persistence and a refinement of searching strategies is required on your part. |
That seems WRONG! I confess, i've been going to my prreferences files a lot as I've been trying to tweak them to help me understand...at first I chose to allow only a very small number of freeloaders....but then I realized that until I downloaded some songs, I would "appear" to be a freeloader as well, as I had nothing to share...so I set it high to allow new people .
What do you recommend?
There's so much to learn!
Thanks for all your help...
