  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: 11 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

• Using the android client. It was stuck at position 3 first and is now stuck on position 0. The other files downloaded immediately. Is there a reason for it getting stuck at 0?

  This user seems to be using a very old version of Nicotine+ (10+ years old), which doesn't work well with newer Soulseek clients anymore. I recommend sending them a message about this, downloads for newer Nicotine+ versions are available at https://nicotine-plus.org. Source: about 2 years ago

• [Forum Discussion] - Please recommend new sources of Piracy

  Https://nicotine-plus.org/ Nicotine + is a graphical client for SoulseekQt. Think of it as a Reskin for the original application. The filter options on SoulseekQt are pretty limited and Nicotine + fixes that issue by adding more functionality. The original SoulseekQt application as old as it is can be a little buggy and the more modern Graphical interface of Nicotine + easily fixes those issues. Source: about 2 years ago
