  • AOL pulls Nullsoft file-sharing software WASTE (2003)
    For those interested, here's the good FOSS client https://nicotine-plus.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • Usenet is shit for music
    Completely agree. Try this https://nicotine-plus.org. Source: 11 months ago
  • K/s?
    As has been said, K/s is an indication of transfer speed, and the default SLSK client does not keep track of transferred data for you. However, as there's never a bad time for a Nicotine+ plug, that does keep such stats, both for session and total transfer. Source: 12 months ago
  • Cannot access soulseek website
    Please be careful, there are some fake versions of the slsk client out there and they are confirmed malware. The official Soulseek website is http://www.slsknet.org/. There was a previous domain, but Nir (slsk's founder) lost control of it many years ago. I suggest you download a version of the client from this page or better yet download a copy of the third party client Nicotine+. N+ is updated far more... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Where to get older albums?
    Soulseek is a P2P service, yes, use a client like nicotine+ that is much more modern, and in my opinion, more usable than the default client. Source: over 1 year ago
