Maybe you suck using it, dunno. I got no problems with it.

I do. You can't find a sample using its serial number, e.g. the original of this is "2639__TexasMusicForge__Harp8",
but if you try searching for sample "2639" you will only get my tweaked version, not the original.

The search function can also be inconsistent: the same search terms can give different results at different times.
[ It's temperamental and seems to have a mind of its own ].

I take it back: "Search for a particular file ID:" is possible via the "advanced search options".

Freesound 2.0 will have many improvements and development on the current Freesound is halted to develop 2.0. Be patient

Life is probably good
