It’s P2P, like Napster used to be. You’ll have to share something or you’ll get auto-ignored by most users.

Oh, reminds me, you should also sort your share. I once got march-horny, added some German marches to my download queue (no judging pls), and then got a PM from the guy sharing them that I should keep my collection in order. And yes, the jerk ignored me.

Also not really p2p, there is a central server. The downloads are p2p.

RuTracker is a great non-private/non-ratio-monitoring torrent site for music

It was ratio-monitoring, that's how it became great. Just after being banned in Russia they decided that those who try hard enough to even reach there can be trusted to behave.

It's not only for music, it's for everything.
