This is the main site, https://www.slsknet.org/news/faq-page I’m linking you to the FAQ. You can get the client there too.

Concept is simple. It’s searchable p2p file sharing. You have the client, open/filter two ports on your firewall (soulseek qt has a button to check the ports are open), share a folder with media you want to share with others, then start searching for things you’d like. You can filter searches too. I keep my searches filtered to flac files for example.

As a note, some people are weird about you downloading too much in one go, so good rule of thumb is to DL no more than 1 album at a time from someone. Some people are stupid weird about it though and will block access if you queue more than a single file. Just put them on your block list too and unshare from them and move on. It’s not worth it to message people like that.

Sure thing! Glad it worked out well for you! That’s awesome it was an easy fix lol

Are you sharing too? Most people on there autoblock transfers if the DLer isn’t sharing.

I haven’t used Nicotine+ so I can’t be sure there isn’t something with that. I just use the soulseekQt client.

Man I have zero issues with Soulseek. I’ve gotten so much stuff from there. Even obscure. What struggles do you have with it?

I recognized a few names on there as brain dead trolls or politically extreme zealots. I’m sure some are fine and maybe just got on the devs nerves for something petty or isolated, but either way you’re right, let people manage their shit. Tired of people thinking they can nanny everyone else or tell others what to do or think or feel.

Edit:just to add, I also know one person on the list outside of Lemmy comments and they are a great person. They probably had one angry comment and the Dev took exception to that.

Damn…you have a lot of closeted gay friends.

I love Hatchbox. They have excellent filaments and rich colors. Can’t say enough love of them. particularly like their matte ones. They were really easy to dial in to perfect.
