New Version Of Soulseek- Slightly More Secure
 

Soulseek now generates a random listening port number when it first starts to avoid detection by ISPs.

You can manually set your listening port number.

The client prompts you to configure your router to forward the selected port when one is randomly generated.

The client alerts you when the configured listening port is already taken by another application.

Ticker performance has been optimized for the benefit of those who had performance problems with the original ticker.

Ignores now work for ticker entries as well.

If you haven't tried out any of the previous test versions, here's the rest of what's new since 152:


Can now specify "Dislike" entries as well as "Like" entries.

Global and personalized negative rankings based on people's dislikes.

A reference counting system now used for getting other users' online status. Your client doesn't bother getting the online status of users you're not downloading from/chatting with.

Scrolling room ticker allows each user to add their own text.

The best part is that you can now specify your listening port which means normal operation in a network environment. Multiple users can run soulseek from within the same lan. Of course they could before but with port 2234 used by all clients, it was hit or miss who could share.
