Soulseek not working?

[Poldy]

Can anyone connect to Soulseek? I've gone to their website and 'checked server status' and it remains on 'probing server' and returns no results.

what version are you using? make sure its v145 and not v139 because 139 doesn't work anymore.

[Poldy]

Ahh, yes yes, I just looked at the news section and it told me. I dled the new one and am waiting to connect. :upside

Soulseek 145 is dead now, you must change to client 146b, http://www.slsk.org/download.html.

This upgrading to a new client every week is a bit silly. Most people can't be arsed with uninstalling the old version, then downloading and installing the new one. Each time I upgrade there's less users.

A new client every week? I've used four clients on this week and is only thursday :tol

The frequent updates are great, but because it is mandatory to update, some users might be turned off.

[Poldy]

Ok, does each client crash because of some bugs in the software and then once they're fixed they release a new version? Because I haven't seen any new features or anything. SS is great, I'll dl a new client every other day or so. Why would you uninstall old versions first? Just let the new installation overwrite it.

I was going to post the new release this morning after my downloads had stopped halfway through the night due to another change in the program. When i went to the Soulseek forums, I found that Nir said that "Soulseek is broken, come back tomorrow." I just started using this program again at the recommendation of method77, and soon after my resumption of use, the new, decentralized version came out. The new versions are musch faster at searching and overall seems to be a better program.

I have no problem if there are a few hiccoughs on the way to a good program becoming even better. Decentralization is very important for a p2p program, and Nir has been more than forthcoming with new versions, warts and all. If people don't want to try the new prog, you can still use the older version as well. A program like SS is used because of content; the users will not be scared by "minor" bugs such as these... There is always Kazaa in the interim (choosing individually--what a waste of time).

soulseek is always fuckin up. i swear this program is teetering on the brink of collapse.

this program might well implode before the riaa even gets a chance to shit on it. but yea, 146b is working. kudos for the information.
