Location of preference files and database on MAC OSX

$
0
0

Hello,

I recently reinstalled Mountain Lion and because I have a backup of all my files I easily recovered all my desired preferences and libraries for various applications. Unfortunately I could not do the same for Soulseek QT because I did not find any system files besides the preference file in /Library/Preferences/

I want to know where does soulseek store all it's settings and index data. Imagine that I had dozens of users and quite a long user info and all of that is gone.

This will help me immensely and every other user out there that needs to reinstall Soulseek or their OS.

Thank you very much!


Is my files visible if set yo User List only?

$
0

If i set my userlist to accessed by User List only.. will people NOT on my list still be able to get my files up on their searches?

I set my folders private and wrote in info that people should ask for permission. Reason is that i think its a drag to check each and everyone if they share or not.
There should be some script to autocheck users and notify me if not..

Is there other sollution for to this setup?

Upload Problems

$
0
0

Hi,

I share lots of files, but it seems that about 50% of upload requests are met and the rest get access denied.

Looking at the diagnostics under Transfer Queue Logs, I can see that all the upload requests that are denied have an additional slash inserted in the full path name. eg: "Queue upload requested by user1 for file \home\mark\smb4k\NIRVANA\media\Trance Albums\\Pure Euphoria - Level 4 - Mixed by Matt Darey CD1.mp3" between the directory structure and the actual file name. This results in the diag message "Denied, file not shared"

Other files get correctly identified, eg: "Queue upload requested by user2 for file \home\mark\smb4k\NIRVANA\media\Trance Tracks1\Avicii - Levels\Avicii - Best of Levels (David Puentez Mash Bootique 2012) (BacauHouseMafia.Ro).mp3" and get queued OK.

It seems to be user related as as I can have lots of requests from one user and all are misformatted and another users requests are all correctly formatted.

All the folders are correctly formatted in the file sharing config tab. I'm running the client on Debian Linux.

It looks to me like a bug but it's difficult to tell where it's being introduced. I'm routinely get rude messages from users who think I'm advertising files but then not sharing them, even though I openly share all the files!!!

Donate Privileges

Hi there, well, last night I submit a $5 donate cuz I read that I could have some privileges doing this, like passing on the queue. Im trying to download a song that does have a queue of 2000 people. When I click to download it, appears on my "transfers" that im the number 730 of the queue, what it means? That with the privileges I have passed like 1250 people on the queue? And the others 730 already have the same privileges I have? Or my privileges are not working right? I tought I would not get queue's anymore :<

Thx for attention since now

Wish list hits: Old method was better :)

$

Hey there,

I must say I've gotten used so much to the (now-)old method of displaying the wish list hits in a separate (pseudo-)tab that I actually don't want to miss it anymore!

New method is, to put it the polite way, rather awkward.

Let alone that it's now way more clicks to get to wish list results (Search->Wish List->...) than before. I liked the old way better.
But that's just IMO - others may think differently about it.

Minor glitch in application colors

$
0
0

Hey there, since the color selection is working again (thanks Nir), I could do some more tweaks in my color settings - and found a glitch.

I'm using Darklooks theme, and so I'm using a black-ish color set for SlskQt, too.

Please BEAR WITH ME, because the issue is freaking hard to describe.

- Launch SlskQt, w/making sure you don't use a too-dark color layout (so not the one as I do, in order to see things). It's best to use really ugly, weird colors to see what's happening (BACK UP your preferred colors by backing up your config file, though, since there is currently no way to store colors separately (hint, hint ;))

- Go to "Options" tab, select "UI", and change to another tab, e. g. "Browse".

- Now go back to Options, having "UI" preselected.

- See what I'm on about?

Tab text is in same color EXCEPT for first tab.
(which you couldn't control because SlskQt will always DEFAULT to first tab at first run)

So you might guess what will happen on MY setup:
Full house, first tab will be 100% BLACK. However, not until I've SELECTED this first tab.
It doesn't matter, whether it'S currently selected or not; it just matters THAT it has been selected once before.

Now switch to "Login" (which IS first tab), and back to "UI".
Uhh!
"Login" tab will now appear in a third color (one we hadn't before).
I've even found out why this happens.
Tab text color (or tab highlight overlay color or whatchamacallit) is (maybe erroneously ??) set to BUTTON TEXT color.

Again: When I'm on "UI", and change BUTTON TEXT in color settings, the inactive tab "Login" will be displayed in BUTTON TEXT color. Even though "Button Text" is not meant for this purpose.

I'll be damned if you're not 10 times as confused than before reading my post, but excuse me, it's very very hard to explain since the colors seem interconnected in a rather complex kinda fashion.

Lost all info from QT after closing and re-opening QT

What has happened? After I've closed QT all of my info, such as userlist, wishlist, sharing folders, download folder info etc, has vanished - everything. This has taken place 3 times in last 10 days. Frustrating and way too much work. Isn't this info in kind of 'cloud' or am I wrong?

Quick answer, please.

Finland calling with the best regards (anyways) =)

Some Peers appear in light blue, what does this mean

$
0

When I highlight a .torrent file that is downloading and click on the peers tab some of the peers appear in light blue, some of these peers are downloading and uploading just fine or some are stalled for whatever reason. I am just trying to find out what it means when a peer is showing in light blue. Isn't effecting anything as far as I can tell just weird.

BTW I also solved the crashing problem and losing files. I was using external Hard drives from Seagate and was using these to have my shared file on. And believe it or not there was nothing in the manuals or instructions from Seagate that you could not use their external drive this way except as a network drive and then everyone that was going to access has to connect to Seagate first and then can connect to the drive, but only one user can be accessing at one time. Would have been nice if Seagate would have said something. Funny thing is on the Seagate user forums there were many comments in the ne3gative about the external Hard Drives, and low and behold a couple of weeks ago I receive an email from Seagate support offering data recovery on one version of their external drives, but of course at the end of the message you were told you had to pay $40.00, return the drive in its original packaging and there was no guarantee that the data would be recovered and the drive would be basically destroyed in the process and you had to provide a drive for the recovered data to be loaded onto or have Seagate provide one at the new drives retail cost.

Oh well live and learn, would appreciate hearing on the color issue with the peers. QT is working great just have to rebuild my database now.

Thanks


Private Room

using client 1/12/2013 QT.

when starting SSQT, I receive the message "the room you are attempting to enter is Private" that room is "Christmas". I want to remove that room from my autostart (when I start QT it loads my rooms up that I have access too), but for some reason, I'm in stupid mode and cannot for the life of me, find a way to un-subscribe to that room.

Am I just not seeing the way? I can't enter the room, b/c it's private, lord knows who the monitor is, but I just want to remove the room from my autostart list... but I can't find the way to do so...

any thoughts! :)

Thanks!

Download files keep aborting

I have the linux client, tried 12/16 and the latest builds, every download file keeps aborting after a while and I have to press Retry Download manually to continue. That's what I get from diagnostics:

[Sun Jan 20 14:46:44 2013] File connection created by user --- for req 77622
[Sun Jan 20 14:46:44 2013] Downloading
[Sun Jan 20 14:49:05 2013] Error downloading --- from ----. Waiting for data to read failed. Error string: Network operation timed out
[Sun Jan 20 14:49:43 2013] Queueing ----.mp3
[Sun Jan 20 14:50:55 2013] Received peer notification from ----- that upload of ---- failed
[Sun Jan 20 14:52:22 2013] User ----- appears to still be online, re-queueing ------

Any ideas?

Suggestion for SLSK (SFV Check)

$
0
0

I think a really GREAT slsk feature, would be
some way to know if the tracks you are downloading
are OK with the SFV file that is in their folder.

Cause there's nothing more annoying than have to
wait, erase, search and download again just because
some jerk shared corrupted stuff.

I think the best way should be a remote sfv check
slsk does on the remote computer and then send you
a flag saying which files are OK and which aren't so
you can decide if you will download it or not.

It would save LOTS of time (because of the nature of
slsk sharing that makes downloads a lot slower than
usual torrent or http, but i think slsk is better in
my point of view). And will help me find the good users
that share good stuff and ban those users who share only
sh*t.

Some other thing it would help, is to let slsk know if the
file you are resuming from other user have the same CRC that
the older had. (i don't know exactly how that works on slsk,
but i'm just assuming that the soft just resume the download
based on filename and donwload percentage)

Minor issue in Options->File Sharing

$
0
0

And yet another finding. (sorry ;))

"Options->File Sharing"

(Precondition 1: You must have a shared folder set already. This folder should not have any custom groups assigned, nor User List or anything).
(Precondition 2: One custom group must have been created.)

- The custom group be "custgrp".

- Select shared folder, and select "Set Folder Permissions" in context menu.

- Untick

[ ] Folder accessible to everyone (*)
[ ] Folder accessible to all user list users (**)

- Tick [x] custgrp, so that only custgrp is selected for that folder.

- Leave dialog.

Now, when attempting to correct something (you probably did want User List instead?) by re-selecting "Folder Permission", you will notice that both "...to everyone" and "...to all user list users" are always ticked.

But these should be unticked when you have a custom group selected. In other words, the unticking of the two boxes, (*) and (**) is not memorized, though it should.

Cannot add users manually?

I'm trying to add a user (my friend) to my users list, but it seems that I cannot do this. I recently upgraded to slskqt, but it seems to be missing a large amount of options.

Is there any way to add users manually?

Thanks!

Thank you!

Hey guys at SLSK,
just wanted to say you've done magnificent job on the new version.
And not to mention how much awesome music I managed to discover by just browsing folders.

So, since I can't afford donating, I thought that it would be a good idea to say "thank you" at least!

Keep it up ;]

How to Browse user file

Anytime I search using windows 8 x64, my client freezes for a minute and it returns to normal. Sometimes I have to close it with task manager. Tried previous versions. This problem did not always occur, but developed at a point in time after initial installation.

Question about indexing

$

0

Hi there,

I have roughly 100,000 files that I share on SoulSeek and everytime that I reboot my PC, and restart Soulseek, it takes almost an hour to re-index. Now, my question is two fold please:

1) Are files available for download immediately after I hit the share folder button (i.e users browse my shares and can see files - they say they can, while I'm still indexing)

and

2) Where does SoulSeek keep it's index? Like, is it possible for me to "backup" the index of a certain collection of shares (which never changes) so I can just reload it quicker? Is there any way to disable fully or speed up the indexing?

Thanks!

Sound Notification not working ? ? ?

Hey I just want to start this off by saying thank you for this nice new QT Client edition and its nice work. ALso its amazing that you now have Linux platform support so kudos on that, and the client works amazing on Arch Linux. Now they only issue i'm having is that the sound notification is not working eh. I to the message.wav from the soulseek NS from my windows hdd and have it on my linux hdd I use the message.wav in the default i also just set everything to that wav file message.wav, and I don't hear and notification sound at all and yes my sould works eh.. but its quite weird that its not working, yes wav sound file works i tested it out the file to in my linux system.

I'm just wondering if anyone having this issue, i think you just like just intergrate the message.wav into the client itself , i mean if that is possible.

please help or any solution would be great,

Thank You,

IP Banning abusive users

$
0

I am having a problem with a user who has gone by the name of Oslowobumm, Oslowobuon, Oslowobor, Oslowoboon, and Oslowobon. He keeps queuing my entire library. I have banned him five times, and everyday when I come back to my computer, he's attempting to download my entire library using a different username.

The unshare feature simply isn't effective. Anyone can make a new username to circumvent an inconvenient ban. This guy is really bothering me, and I can't get rid of him. Is it possible to IP ban someone attempting to engage the ports on my computer?

Perhaps you should consider allowing users to IP ban other users, nir. Or at least allow us to /whois people that download from us.

Is there any solution you can offer me?
