I need help please with this.....I need to be able to get the normal client slsk157NS13e to take over my incomplete downloads from SoulseekQT. I did not realize the extent of the present software's limitations, and this has created several difficulties for me.
I also want to retain my contacts and search history and any other information that can be ported across to the slsk client.
Thanks in advance for any help you are able to offer.

Hi David,

There is currently no way to transfer your data from SoulseekQt to Soulseek NS or vice versa. The two clients handle their data very differently, and writing an import tool is a pretty massive undertaking. I might write an import function at some point, but as I'm concentrating all my efforts on SoulseekQt, it'll be used to move your data from Soulseek NS rather than to it. I'm very interested in any feedback you can provide as to the limitations you've run into that made you decide to go back to Soulseek NS, the more specific the better. I'd love nothing more than to leave users as few reasons to switch back as possible.

Thanks, Nir
