I´m getting the follwoing error:

"could not find server address. If your internet connection is up, this might be a problém with your name resolution service. please try again later"

― hmmm (hmmm), Sunday, 9 May 2004 10:37 (nineteen years ago) link

seems ok to me.

― el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Sunday, 9 May 2004 10:40 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, looks fine..

Is there anything I can do sort that error out? Flatmate reckons there´s just too many people logged on. I am not convinced.

― hmmm (hmmm), Sunday, 9 May 2004 10:51 (nineteen years ago) link

sorted now. downloaded new version.

― hmmm (hmmm), Sunday, 9 May 2004 12:29 (nineteen years ago) link

down for anybody else?

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Saturday, 15 May 2004 12:24 (nineteen years ago) link

yep

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 15 May 2004 12:27 (nineteen years ago) link

yes :(

this should be re-titled the slsk separation anxiety commiseration thread.

Grrrrrr....

this script tests if the slsk server is up.

Slsknet.org :: Soulseek Board

we all know about the staus prober. that is so not the point of why we are here.

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Saturday, 15 May 2004 13:34 (nineteen years ago) link

sorry. someone asked if it was down. answer seems to be yes. i suppose i don't know the point of why you are here but i did not man to offend.

― Ryan WS (fffv), Saturday, 15 May 2004 13:37 (nineteen years ago) link

no don't worry - we come hear to tell each other that the server is down. sort of as a way of getting through the downtime.

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Saturday, 15 May 2004 14:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Just started using Soulseek earlier this week - I now have a Windows machine just for that purpose; I sure wish they'd make a Mac version of this software! - and now that the server has gone down on me for the first time, I'm surprised to see how, er, saddened I feel. Fuck, Soulseek is addictive! More fun than record shops and a lot easier on the wallet.

Forget I said that last part.

How long does the Soulseek server usually stay down anyway?

― kjoerup, Saturday, 15 May 2004 14:12 (nineteen years ago) link

It's been down for eight hours. That's the longest I can remember.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 15 May 2004 14:18 (nineteen years ago) link

there is a mac version of the software. search for nicotine.

― kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 15 May 2004 14:41 (nineteen years ago) link

everytime the server goes down i always say i am going to do something constructive. so i'm off down the pud to start my saturday of binge drinking

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Saturday, 15 May 2004 14:48 (nineteen years ago) link

pub

seven months pass...

I'm sure everyone has been saying this but the searches are terrible at the moment (and I have privs.). Nothing for "Romanthony" or "Shannon"? Do me a flavor.

― .adam (nordicskilla), Saturday, 8 January 2005 04:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Do you really need any more Shannon besides "Let The Music Play" and "Give Me Tonight" ?

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 8 January 2005 05:16 (nineteen years ago) link

so you can get privs on nicotine?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 8 January 2005 05:22 (nineteen years ago) link

yes!

Michael that's not the point!

it's been totally weird. I have about 30 songs from about 20 different users and they all say 'awaiting user' - UNPOSSIBLE I SAY!! Also, searches are fucked. Anyone else or just me?

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Sunday, 27 February 2005 09:24 (nineteen years ago) link

I finally purchased privileges. Can't say that I notice any difference.

― Mr Deeds (Mr Deeds), Sunday, 27 February 2005 20:54 (nineteen years ago) link

seems fine to me right now. 1:01 pm pst

― jergins (jergins), Sunday, 27 February 2005 21:01 (nineteen years ago) link

searches really are awful these days. privileges only really help you jump the queue if your 591th in a queue or something and other people in the queue have no privileges.

― zappi (joni), Sunday, 27 February 2005 21:01 (nineteen years ago) link

a couple months back, privileges made a HUGE difference - now i barely notice.

― djdee (djdee2005), Sunday, 27 February 2005 21:03 (nineteen years ago) link

What is the deal with search results presently anyway? One gets next to nothing even on common stuff. Is that a glitch with 155, or is it--as suggested on another thread--the fear of prosecution that's made everyone go list only?

― No, Not Marcel, Saturday, 5 March 2005 22:49 (nineteen years ago) link

is soulseek up fr anyone else?

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 5 March 2005 22:57 (nineteen years ago) link

I went to the forum looking for answers and what I found was that even though search results were just fine before the mandatory upgrade to 155, they (nir, whoever else runs slsk) are claiming that this search result problem has nothing to do with 155, and that to go back to 152 won't help anything. Apparently he is doing some kind of server reconfig or whatever. But it all sounds like fishy bs to me. If it was fine before and now it's not, how can it NOT be 155 that is the problem?

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Saturday, 5 March 2005 23:03 (nineteen years ago) link

I mean what is so wrong with leaving software that actually WORKS alone instead of endlessly tinkering with it and just causing more problems?

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Saturday, 5 March 2005 23:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Why couldn't it be a concurrent server-side concern?

I got the impression the original arrangement wasn't scaling up so well for an increased number of users. Hence the tinkering?

it's bolloxd again isn't it?

― kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 23 April 2005 21:26 (nineteen years ago) link

yes it is

― Aerodynamic (Aerodynamic), Saturday, 23 April 2005 21:28 (nineteen years ago) link

how long for? days? hours? its been about 3 hrs for me.

― piscesboy, Saturday, 23 April 2005 22:01 (nineteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...

Is the search totally not working for anyone else? I mean like 0 results basic things(Kompakt, etc.).

― jergins (jergins), Saturday, 14 May 2005 22:31 (eighteen years ago) link

the search has been pretty good for me

― Aerodynamic (Aerodynamic), Saturday, 14 May 2005 22:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Search was wonky earlier in the week, but I've been getting good results the past 2 or 3 days.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Saturday, 14 May 2005 22:56 (eighteen years ago) link

My search function seems to be shit. To test it I typed "nirvana" and got no replies. Then I tried "oasis" and got a weird avi file. This isn't right surely?

― dog latin (dog latin), Monday, 23 May 2005 23:14 (eighteen years ago) link

That's somewhat recent, big artists screw up the search.

Anyone getting things they wanted to download showing up again in their folder long after they're removed? I delete something and it comes back an hour later as if it's been redownloaded. I heard someone else say they're getting this but I don't know if it's widespread.

― Cunga (Cunga), Monday, 23 May 2005 23:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Go to 'Options' than 'File Sharing...' to 'Accept Downloads From:' and change it from "Everyone" to "No One" or another choice. It has fixed that problem for me.

― BeeOK (boo radley), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 06:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Sorry instead of 'Accept Downloads From:' I really meant 'Accept Uploads From' the last line in that box.

How about this oddity today:

type in a search query and get results for a previous query, occasionally mixed in with new results (like i typed in geiger and the ada remixes i was trying to get yesterday came up). anyone else?

Okay so, sick of never being able to get decent search results, I decided to download the latest version (157). After struggling with .cfg files, I managed to get it up and running but now there are hardly any people in the ILM chatroom, only one of the people on my Userlist are appearing and my previous downloads have stopped donwloading. IS this normal? Is it because I can only see people running this version?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!?
Tried using Soulseek this morning. It would start up okay, run for about a minute and a half and then the process would just...die.
Decided it was time to see if there was a new version yet.
Turns out that there are two (shady-looking) websites out there offering either "Soulseek 158" or "Soulseek 2007".
Both are "we won't let you download until give us your credit card numbers" Nu-Napster wannabe.
What Gives?

one year passes...

i have a question that i don't think i should start a new thread for, and with this being a recently revived soulseek thread, i guess i'll just ask here.

how much safer or unsafer (relativity to slsk or dc or something) does anyone here think it might be to download music posted on blogs and hosted on one-click servers? i do this all the time, and not knowing how safe or unsafe it is, i kind of have a lot of worry for it in the back of my mind.

if we start any kind of new discussion for this, and there's a better thread for it, just let me know.

― andi, Sunday, 25 November 2007 23:28 (sixteen years ago) link

I think the best thread for your question is probably this one

twelve years pass...

soulseek has been so completely flaky over the last week or so, whenever downloading one file will go and then the rest will just sit there and never start. i know enough that i'm not the only one having this problem but there's no acknowledgement of the problem or any eta on fixing it. i know soulseek is literally old enough to vote at this point and at some point i guess i should just let it go...

― Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 23:05 (three years ago) link

try the slsk thrd

― j., Wednesday, 20 May 2020 23:41 (three years ago) link

i know i'm lame but idk how to search ilxor.com and i wind up just necrobumping a thread at random, have a link?

― Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 23:52 (three years ago) link

oh wow i didn't realize there were so many threads

anyway this one is the most up to date

soulseek
