OMFG, Soulseek still exists?!? I thought bittorrent killed it 20 years ago.

Been using it for quite a while, it's very good and allows to share basically everything. I'm sharing terabytes of music but also movies, archives, etc. You can find pretty rare stuff sometimes too

Soulseek is great although it absolutely requires port forwarding to share files. It's also very much a "desktop" app and I don't think much investment has been made for it to be a solid, containerized server app. Everything I have explored on that front has been very janky.

You will not get banned for not sharing. What actually happens is that some people have scripts to see if you're sharing, if not they refuse you access to their files until you start sharing. That has to do with each individual and nothing to do with the network itself, other than the fact that it gives you the option to deny access.

I can't believe soulseek still exists, I have so many memories of getting the wrong content or suspicious files with it more than a decade ago 🥲

This is by far the best way to get your hands on high-quality, less-mainstream music. Been using it for years now.

I used the regular soulseek client via the Linux appimage, but I switched to nicotine plus when I found it on flathub and I can confidently say I'm never looking back.

Why are people using P2P?

Yaar, dis be good work. I can swab the deck and hear the Siren's Call too.

Wow, I love slsk and have been using it since literally about 2004 (it has absolutely defined my taste in music), but I didn't know there were any options for clients except for the main one. This is great!

If you're reading this and you've never checked out slsk, consider this your invitation. I have spent hours trying to "stump" it by searching for increasingly-obscure music. Someone always has it on slsk.

EDIT: HOLY JESUS HALLELUJAH IT HAS DARK MODE

Soulseek for the most part is useless unless you want very obscure stuff. However the client looks very nice so good work.

Love nicotine+. Choosing not to see those locked file assholes was the best gift this interface gave me.

I've never heard of Soulseek before, but it sounds like exactly the sort of thing I've been trying to find for years! I'm so sick of Spotify, I want to get back into collecting locally but it's hard. This looks perfect :)

Nice the "official" client is garbage!

My only thing is there any simple way to transfer all my stuff from qt to nicotine? I have literally several hundred items on my wish list and user list
