On top of all that? There are three (verging on two) major record labels worldwide (plus a bunch of indies who often operate quite well together). It makes catch-all online release services more difficult to produce. This means staggered availability for most films worldwide (less so for the massive blockbusters which have resources thrown at them to ensure simultaneous release as much as possible to maximise the return from publicity), staggered retail windows, etc etc. Unlike music, films needs to be dubbed / subbed for releasing in many countries. The second issue is international releases. But it's slow and will not go away unless there is some seismic change. The window is shrinking and iTunes is being used to push out online releases prior to the DVD hitting retail. The first is the theatrical release window: they're tied in to a business model in pretty much every country worldwide where a significant chunk of their revenue comes from a system that relies on limited availability via a single method. Hollywood has two major issues that's aren't faced by the music industry. Netflix is a tad popular in the US, here and there. Greedy who wants 1000 files.They're getting there in some places.

* that way, a new user who just wants to download one file will gradually move up through your queue, and get their file before Mr. The time they have waited in the queue could be halved, for example. * when the client is calculating its queue order, these heavy-download users are pushed backwards. * any user who has downloaded more than 5 files (or more than 50MB) gains a "de-privilege" status (the opposite of being a friend or donating to SLSK) * the client keeps track of which users have downloaded files this session

I liked the way that eMule and it's various cousins worked, giving each user on your queue a "score" that was based on how long they had waited plus how many files they have already downloaded from you.Īdmittedly, the eMule system was excessively complex, but the basic principle could be implemented nicely in Soulseek, entirely client-side: I prefer this way of handling things: allow people to download large numbers of files, but make it slower for them. I try to do 1 album per user, but that's not always practical, as it happens every now and then that there's just one user in the search results that has the albums I want, in the bitrate I want. For someone that wants to download a whole bunch of things in one sessions, it's unrealistic to expect they will go about reading everyones info. You might run into users that keep them in mind, but I'm sure more often than not you'd run into the other kind of user. I rarely if ever read a users profile, putting your selfmade rules in there and expecting them to be followed is quite silly. Limiting the total amount of files or data a user can download at all, is not very friendly and always makes me think "why are they sharing at all if they don't want their files to be downloaded". If such a thing could be (more) automated it would make for a fairer queue imo. This way the new user would get his slots a bit sooner and the user I removed would retry anyway. In the old client I would just remove a user that had a lot queued up (or a whole bunch of their files) after some other user(s) came in the queue. A better way (imo) would be to juggle the queue a bit when there's more than one user in queue, that way they still get what they want, and it's a bit fairer to them.
