A niche band from Asia I loved as a teenager disbanded in the early 2000s. Due to legal reasons their work is in forever limbo, no Spotify, official YouTube etc. Best you can get is 2nd hand CDs on online marketplaces for a premium.

One guy was seeding a 4GB torrent over on PirateBay from 2008 with every song, music video, numerous interviews etc. Reasons like this is why pirating needs to stay alive. Legend made me want to seed it with him longterm. Now we're 2 seeders strong.

Keep sailing pirates, and whenever possible please seed.

EDIT: For those asking the band is the Japanese band Malice Mizer. The torrent in question is https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=4158529 And I love seeing how a few of you guys know the band and getting hit by nostalgia. Enjoy

It's pretty easy to use. The only challenge for newcomers is setting up port-forwarding, since some users won't share their collection with people who have their ports blocked. You don't have to open your ports or share your music collection, but it is leeching and considered a dick move by some.

Alright so I already had a quick look, sooner than I intended. Got too excited.

At a glance tho I love what I see. There's an official nicotine+ package in the Pacman repository for Arch Linux so that's a plus. I forwarded the port with no issue, I got a decent network setup so I got fixed internal IPs and could forwarded the port securely as possible.

It also looks like it plays nicely with how I got my NAS setup and how I mount files internally to my PC. This could be a bit of a rabbit hole and a great learning experience for me. Thanks to everyone for the suggestion/tips.

I'll love to self-host this down the line on my server so I can better provide everyone with my files even when my usual PC isn't on.

Thank you! I run Docker on my homeservers so when I next tinker it's going on. :)
