Daily Usenet Feed Size Hits 300TB
There are many things I've found on soulseek that are simply not on the public (and few private) trackers I check. I can only imagine the same applies to usenet.
similarly, soulseek is limited to 1 peer at a time, which some might consider "ill-suited to the task"
anyways I love www.slsknet.org
clients exist:
- https://nicotine-plus.org/

Soulseek itself taking a long time to download from website?
You better download and use Nicotine+, it's a frequently updated client for the soulseek platform.

https://github.com/slskd/slskd/ is another nice client that runs as a daemon, and hopefully one day it will integrate with lidarr <https://github.com/Lidarr/Lidarr/issues/444> :fingerscrossed:

If you're looking for an API, there's slskd which runs as a daemon and offers a REST API for searching and downloading.

can you sync up seeker and soulseek?
There's even an example daemon that can give remote access, so you wouldn't even have to have Soulseek and Seeker on the same computer: https://github.com/slskd/slskd

Help configuring slskd on Linux
Hi, I just stumbled upon slskd (https://github.com/slskd/slskd), and I'm struggling to configure it. I've downloaded the binary and executed it with command line and it created a config file. It keeps saying the login and password are wrong no matter what i put there. Also I have no idea how it can open the web UI. I think I'mm missing many things. I appreciate the help.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nicotine-plus and slskd you can also consider the following projects:
spotify-downloader - Download your Spotify playlists and songs along with album art and metadata (from YouTube if a match is found).
Lidarr - Looks and smells like Sonarr but made for music.
soulseek - soulseek vnc service
soulseek-docker - ⛴ Soulseek Docker Container
