Is Soulseek safe?

I saw another post asking how to set up Soulseek and, at first glance, it looks like those old P2P file sharing platforms, like eMule, Kazaa or Limewire.

As someone who used those during their peak, I’m well aware of the risks of getting unwanted stuff, not to mention that you’re fully exposed within the network.

Does Soulseek deal with those issues, or are users exposed to those risks as well?

I have been using it behind a vpn and so far never had a problem. I have never had so many “thank you” from any other old school p2p software

While you avoid risky files, like .exe/.cmd/.bat/.vbs etc, you should be safe, in the past Soulseek was known as music source, now it’s used also for some other stuff like softwares, books, movies & tv shows.
