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.

    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.

      I am also on Nicotine. I just tried downloading and it is working fine. My port 2234 is closed as per Soulseek official site [though users can download from me, I think].
