Soulseek Privileges
Soulseek offers a paid feature known as Soulseek Privileges. Privileges act as a premium account system: users with Privileges are given priority in download queues, allowing them to access files ahead of non-privileged users. The cost is relatively low, approximately $10 USD provides around 70 days of Privileges. Purchasing Privileges not only enhances the user experience but also helps support the ongoing development and operational costs of the Soulseek network.
