I need a new Mac soulseek client because Solarseek is broken

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I tried Solarseek and for a while it worked - not particularly well, but I could download at least. Now however all downloads instantly fail and it says they have completed like 2346.4% or something. So what other options are there? Do I have to get that client which involves installing it through the command line or whatever? Are there any new ones which are easy to use?

Thanks

I suspect people aren't bothering to reply much because you didn't bother to run a search before starting a new thread, Doug. An ILM search on the word solarseek would have returned lots of threads talking about it and alternatives like nicotine and ssx.

might as well use this thread to post my ssx color scheme.
1. open the file ~/Library/Preferences/net.schleifer.chris.ssX.plist in textedit (duplicate it first, just in case. also i guess yiou should have ssx off while doing this)
2. search for the "ssXColorPreferences" bit
3. delete the stuff between the <data> and </data> tags and copy & paste this instead:

Thanks for the info... I know that there's a search function, I was just wondering if there had been any developments since then since solarseek seemed to be the newest one. I'll try ssX.

solarseek works fine for me... slightly more limited results than soulseek, but not all the time

Poisoned, anyone?
