Soulseek/SLSK
 

soulseek.org seems to have been taken over by some net marketing ppl and the program doesn't work.

the new domain slsk.org has version 138, which is needed to connect to the network

Actually, not true Naz, I've been using version 137 successfully.
All you need to do is redirect the domain to this IP address: 195.74.211.135.
Do a search files for "hosts", open with Notepad or another text editor, and add in the line "195.74.211.135 www.soulseek.org".
I don't believe the program's been taken over by anyone; Nir is still doing a fine job as far as I know.

At this point in time, it's my favorite p2p community.

i'm blocked too. happened in the last 24hrs. i'll try your work-around mndeer.

- js.

ok, the patch worked for version 137b - it had to go into hosts just like this:

195.74.211.135 www.soulseek.org

now i get a curious update request each time i open the program - i decline. thanks mndeer, good one! :tu:

- js.

its my favourite p2p proggie too, and i wasnt suggesting the program had been taken over, just that the domain seemed to have expired (I heart nir)

I get this when i enter www.soulseek.org in my browser



I did read the hosts workaround, but I'm far too stupid to figure it out :con:

slsk138 works for me

They've been upgrading versions a little too frequently for my tastes, though, as you lose all the songs you had queued and your user list. Somewhat of a bitch to do if the tracks are rare. But, nevertheless, it kicks ass.
Ps. The current domain is www.slsk.org

i am tring to run the linux version of slsk(pyslsk-0.3.4.)
can someone tell me how i get a user name and password(like where to register)
i registered at their forums...but i dont think thats it..(:
also is there a sever list i can find/dload
or one that someone uses
one suggestion was to get a username and pass in the windows version(might have to do this)

but i was wondering
if any body out there in p2p land may know
an alternitive...

ok got it going thanks evrybody....
if theres any more ips for servers
can some one post'em plz or may be theres an updated page somewhere someone knows of

A friend could register for you. Just delete the name/pw in the login config file, then register for you then reregister their name.

I'm not certain if this is it, but did you try to indicate your share and download directories before trying to connect?
Go to www.remmelt.org (soulseek forums) and do a search for linux, they may have those bases covered.
