Has something changed regarding soulseek? I don’t seem to get any results for searching. I tried previously searched terms and even those are returning blank. If there is better place to ask question/debug help regarding soulseek, let me know.
Possibly unrelated but certain artists seem to be blacklisted on that platform for some reason
Like who?
This was a few months back but when I searched for Luke Bryan, nothing came up. I had to get creative to find the song I wanted. Think it was called country girl. I haven’t tried recently but it would be interesting to see if it’s still like that
Term “Bryan” is blocked. Search “luke *ryan” instead.
Weird! Why?
Sometimes it’s better to put something in your big book of sailor’s secrets and not ask around too much.
Mum’s the word.
I tried yesterday and it was working. Is it not an issue with the client instead? Try Nicotine instead of the official Souseek client once.
Does TCP port 2234 need to be open? (I was using soulseek without any issues previously) so if port needs to be open then probably something on ISP side changed
Yes to reach others you need the port forwarded and some users have have access blocked if you are not also sharing.
Sort of. If you’re not port forwarding, you can only connect to those who are, if you are port forwarding you can connect to everyone who is and everyone who isn’t (that is currently connected ofc) so you get a bigger pool to search through.
