Gray means there's a queue for the file, black means it's open.

Buy privileges, it's well worth the $5 to get bumped to the head of the queue.

Do you get like more "points" the more people download from you, like Kazaa? I Never really used slsk before because I hated the interface and it wasn't working right on my old computer. I honestly don't quite understand their settings for uploading/downloading.

I'm also having a hard time telling if I'm actually toggled "away" too.

batwings OPEN = on/online
batwings closed = away

"oh, they like polish folk music AND cumguzzlingteensluts.jpg's"

What does it mean when Nicotine keeps asking you to reset your shared folder at startup? Mine does this, and then just keeps "listening on port 2234", but nothing happens.

I got it I got it!

I wish Jess was talking about my computer but I haven't had a chance to download any porn yet onto my new computer what with all the jackass bullshit trying to get MP3s :( :( :(

― Allyzay, Friday, 13 February 2004 01:57 (twenty years ago) link

I think it's pretty obvious who he's talking about...

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 13 February 2004 02:09 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, I was thinking of Matos too.

― Allyzay, Friday, 13 February 2004 02:10 (twenty years ago) link

It was the Polish folk music that gave it away.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 13 February 2004 02:12 (twenty years ago) link

is there like some kind of slsk etiquette that I am unaware of? Some dude just told me off for trying to download ONE song and then banned me!!! I was all like wo.

― Allyzay, Friday, 13 February 2004 03:14 (twenty years ago) link

Hah you are me two weeks ago! When the guy I am getting Six Feet Under episodes off threatened to ban me, I was terrified!

Most people like you to keep it to one or two albums or one large (avi or mpeg)file.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 13 February 2004 03:18 (twenty years ago) link

Although s1utsky told me it was "a free for all".

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 13 February 2004 03:19 (twenty years ago) link

After-midnight US is a free-for-all. You find someone with a 100+ transfer speed to you and lots of stuff, then just go to town. I set a bunch of stuff to download one night and woke up with 2GB of MP3s. (I'm staying away from Slsk because I have about 2000 MP3s I haven't even tried to listen to.)

I've given up on getting Slsk to work on my Mac, I'm just going to pirate Virtua*PC and run it that way. If they can get it working this way, how come no one's been able to just do a nice easy Carbon version?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 13 February 2004 03:26 (twenty years ago) link

Ally, the guy could've got all pissy if you don't have anything shared yet. Once you've got a bunch of MP3s in there it'll be okay.

― Dan I., Friday, 13 February 2004 03:31 (twenty years ago) link

dude my whole computer is shared, people are downloading off me left and right, it's all good. And it was seriously only one 3 min song!! I think duude was just nuts, that's all. Haha he's probably an ilxor.

― Allyzay, Friday, 13 February 2004 03:43 (twenty years ago) link

You mean Cocoa.

See the "Fix the Too Many Open Files bug" section of this page: http://niij.org/macusers

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Friday, 13 February 2004 04:58 (twenty years ago) link

Also make sure you've upgraded to the latest 1.0.7 release of Nicotine and that you're not still using the 1.0.7rc2 one.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Friday, 13 February 2004 04:59 (twenty years ago) link

okay soulseek classic is awesome! it didn't let me change my username coz the prfes kept getting corrupted (running it on 8.6) so i went in with a hex editor and hacked the default!

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Friday, 13 February 2004 07:27 (twenty years ago) link

Nice job, Ally. Bnw, why the OS9?

is it wrong and evul to be on slsk but only share stuff to your friends?

― g-kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 12:36 (twenty years ago) link

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 12:50 (twenty years ago) link

that's what i figured, but people keep telling me otherwise.
even my friends.
i'm sticking to my guns though, even after being banned by someone the other day. i was only DLing 2 files, so i asked why he banned me and he said simply "you're not sharing, why else would i ban someone?"
i said "if i share, would you unban me?"
he was like "if you have anything decent shared, yes"
i was all, "what counts as decent? stuff that YOU like?"
he was like "yep"
so i was all, "isn't that attitude just as bad as not sharing anyway?"
he was like "piss off"

― g-kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 12:53 (twenty years ago) link

in a year i think one person has downloaded from me. and i share, but only shit.

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 13:03 (twenty years ago) link

I get banned for being on dial-up. So I get their IP and give it to the RIAA.

― don (don), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 13:09 (twenty years ago) link

Nicotine's a fine little program, it is.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 13:26 (twenty years ago) link

I never have the heart to ban anyone, but I did rename a directory when someone with a d/l speed of 0.1 tried to download a sex and the city episode off of me.
