Hello, i've been thinking about using soulseek for the very first time to download some music and such. I had a couple of questions from the c/piracy community.

Do i need to stay logged in on soulseek even if i am or am not sharing stuff? Obviously i can't be online and have my pc powered on 24/7 as i have a life outside the web (and other things aswell). so i hope that's understandable as to why i asked, i was worried i'd get banned if i don't be online like all the time.
Would a vpn work just fine with soulseek even if the vpn has support for port forwarding? There's an obvious reason as to why i'd use one.
Which soulseek client should i use, Nicotine+? or soulseek's actual client (i use Linux Mint, in case y'all were wondering. I might move to debian though!)

That's all i want to ask for now, hopefully these aren't dumb to ask. I'll be waiting for replies (might not reply to all of them so i apologize), thanks!

No, i just thought when i said something about a soulseek client i kinda thought someone would ask "wait what operating system do you use?" and i thought it would've been alright to clarify about that. Putting that in the post wasn't supposed to be some variant of the arch btw meme.

My apologies for the confusion.

Oh, no no i wasn't saying you were hating on me. I apologize if it seemed like i felt that way- i was just trying to calmly explain why that sentence was added in haha-
