![]() For example, searching for blue suede -shoes will return a list of files whose names containing the strings blue and suede, but files containing the string shoes in their names will be excluded.Ī feature specific to the Soulseek search engine is the inclusion of the folder names and file paths in the search list. Searches may be explicit or may use wildcards/patterns or terms to be excluded. Users can search for items the results returned being a list of files whose names match the search term used. While these central servers are key to coordinating searches and hosting chat rooms, they do not actually play a part in the transfer of files between users, which takes place directly between the users concerned. One server supports the original client and network Version 156, with the other supporting the newer network (functioning with clients 157 and Qt). ![]() Soulseek depends on a pair of central servers. The network has historically had a diverse mix of music, including underground and independent artists, unreleased music, such as demos and mixtapes, bootlegs, live tracks, and live DJ sets, but releases from major and independent labels can also be found. Comparison of Internet Relay Chat clientsĪs a peer to peer (P2P) file sharing program, the accessible content is determined by the users of the Soulseek client, and what files they choose to share.SoulseekQt has somewhat different functionality compared to the 157 client interface. Work on Client 157 (Windows only) stopped in 2008. ![]() New developments are solely on the SoulseekQt client interface. The network accessed by client 156 has since been shut down, as usage had dropped nearly to zero. The older one is accessed by Soulseek client 156 the newer network accessed by Soulseek client 157 (Windows only) or SoulseekQt ( Microsoft Windows, macOS, or Linux platforms). Historically, there have been two independent networks under the Soulseek name, both ran by the same management. Soulseek was created by Nir Arbel, an Israeli programmer from Safed. Soulseek is used mostly to exchange music, although users are able to share a variety of files. The term Soulseek might refer to (1) one of the two networks, or (2) one of the three official user client interfaces. Soulseek is a peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing network and application. Microsoft Windows, and macOS and Linux in the newest Qt clientĮnglish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Polish, Estonian They will then receive an announcement from OrtaliGoddessOfPrivileges that they have received privileges, but they will not know who the privileges came from.Screenshot of the older Soulseek 157 NS 13e client version on Microsoft Windows Once you have the Paypal donation page up, put the other person’s username in the appropriate field. DO NOT donate through the client, or the privileges will go directly to you. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can go to the Paypal website and donate to Soulseek. You can then choose the number of days you wish to give them, and they will receive an announcement in a private message from you telling them that they have received “x” amount days of privileges from you. There will be a “gift privileges” option. Once you receive the privileges, go to your userlist and right click on the username that you wish to give privileges to. (In the Soulseek Qt client, you will only be given this option if you already have privileges). ![]() The easiest way is to donate through the client so that you receive privileges. There are two ways to go about doing this. To find out which port number your Soulseek client is listening on, go to Options->General options in the original Soulseek client, or Options->Login in SoulseekQt. Check this list of guides to see if one is available for your router brand. ![]() You can also try to manually configure your router to forward Soulseek's listening port. Although not very common, it's also possible that your Internet service provider has your connection set up in such a way that you can't accept incoming TCP connections. Both the original client and SoulseekQt use a protocol named UPnP to configure your router to recognize the listening port, but some routers (most notably Apple routers) don't support UPnP. If you're behind a router, your router might be blocking traffic to your listening port. As Soulseek attempts each peer connection in both directions, you should be able to connect to almost any other user if your listening port is accessible. Under certain fairly common circumstances, the listening port may not be accessible to the outside world. The Soulseek client sets up a listening port to accept incoming TCP connections. To browse a user's files, you need to be able to form a network (TCP) connection to that user, and not every two users on Soulseek can connect to each other. ![]()
