What is going on with Soulseek?

[solace]

What's going on with Soulseek? has the RIAA or someone else shut it down? Was probably the best p2p service I've found since Audiogalaxy went bad.

i had already checked out their web site and noticed that it was down (did my homework), did a search of zeropaid.com and came up with old notices from back in feb and such about it being down/coming back up but no didn't search the bbs here, new to it and in a brief scan didn't see any mentions of it.

Thanks to everyone else for the info.

in case you cant figure out what the problem is, soulseek is having DNS server problems. the consiquence is that when your computer asks for the IP address of soulseek.com, no one has it. so your computer cannot connect to soulseek. however, there is an easy way around this. you need to edit your hosts file and put in those for entries that Kooperman listed. ill assume that you are using some form of NT (2000 or XP). to edit your hosts file, open notepad. go to file > open > then find C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc > open HOSTS (no extention) then scroll down to the very bottom and paste in those four entries that kooperman gave. then save the file and soulseek should now work.

Is there anyway to do this for windows 98 se? Yes it's essentially the same way. The file format is shown in a file in your windows directory called hosts.sam, do a search on your pc to see if you already have a file called "hosts."

Here is more information about the file.

sorry for not replying to your questions guys... i was gone this weekend. anyways, the process for editing your hosts file in any of the 9x versions of windows (95, 98, and ME) is exactly the same exept the file is located in C:\windows\

and mikehunt, i think your full of BS. soulseek has so much to offer. while the speeds arent great, you'll find almost every music file you want, and many other rare files that you wont find any where else. if you dont like it, fine i dont care. but should anyone be stupid enough to base a descision upon your negligent feedback, they might be missing somthing they really would like. so next time, listen to what your mother used to say : "if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all".
