the weird thing there is, on this laptop I haven't bothered doing the ports. they are CLOSED! yet everything still works fine, I get lots of search results and don't have any trouble downloading anything. I'm using the 2018.1.30 linux version here.
I'm not actually sharing any files on this laptop though, it's my ancient spare one but the screen is broken on my other laptop that has shared files on it, I just use this in the living room and if I feel like downloading something. I get banned every now and again but don't care because I can just cue it up on the other laptop if that happens.

yeah you can still download with closed ports -- can't upload tho

i try downloading an album, first song works but everything after that stays queued (retry download doesn't work).
thought i'd update or reinstall my client but i can't access slsknet.org for some reason.

Huh, that's weird. Are you on Windows or Mac?
― pomenitul, Monday, 8 June 2020 02:38 (three years ago) link
closed ports also limits search results ime

my old mac is the og downloader but i have a newer windows laptop.
switched to my mobile hotspot, found slsknet no problem. i guess xfinity blocks it, rad. turns out i had already installed it on my new machine though lol and *sigh* works fine.

lately all my download attempts are immediately listed as 'aborted' in red. every now and again they'll be 'queued' for a few minutes and then aborted.
all ports open. music shared. dunno what's going on.

are you on comcast? they implemented some "protection" program that blocks soulseek transfers. you have to turn it off for soulseek to work - i think there's more info about it on soulseek's homepage. i was wary about doing it too, because it's called something like "advanced threat protection", but since turning it off a month ago i haven't had any problems.

What does it mean when the little icon in the top left is red and nothing works--is the site down?

I cannot countenance any of these pricks that house files in their public shared folder and then either want to conduct some trade deal that isn't in the spirit of slsk or have some other convoluted reason for not sharing them. Instant unshare files from user and fuck off forever response from me every time.

searching the net for their name comes up with a lot of results pf people saying they don't actually have all the files they claim they do, and when someone tries to trade with them they just try to grab the files from one of the private trackers they're on, but sometimes that's ended up with them not quite delivering on what's promised lol

I just wonder why anyone would ever give someone like that any time whatsoever. There's almost nothing I haven't been able to find on SSK given time + tenacity, eff any twerp who guards their ones and zeros like they're the treasure of El Dorado.

Is there a list of the artists/bands that are excluded from the search engine?
I got The Beatles and Prince but it'd be interesting to see what else there is/ain't.
― Maresn3st, Friday, 15 October 2021 18:25 (two years ago) link
I've struggled with recent K and J pop. Not sure if they're excluded or just nobody has them, but I would imagine the former.
