Soulseek is very good to grab rare music and other stuff difficult to find on mainstream medias/markets
It's good that Soulseek exists, but it's way more finicky than LimeWire was and it's significantly less user friendly
I've literally never had a problem with it.
I downloaded Nicotine, made an account, selected the folder for media, then searched for the movie I wanted and hit download. It puts the movie in the folder I selected and then once it's downloaded i put it on my movie drive.
These sorts of programs still exist. I use Nictotine, which is based on Medusa, but basically works like a better version of the old MP3 download programs. Good for finding obscure artists.
Soulseek is basically the same thing too, and still works.
Frostwire is still available and it actually works better than Limewire ever did.

Hot damn! I can listen to the song I want about 2 hours from now!
And sometimes things you really really didn't want.
I once downloaded a 650MB movie in less than 10 minutes. I dont know how that was possible at the time as I had a sub 1 mbit line. I just know I went to the bathroom and came back to a downloaded movie. Always figured it was a bug of some kind on the modem as apparently the cable modem was doing the rate limiting.
