Soulseek General Discussion

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?

I have experienced the same problems on the latest Mac build. To put Soulseek at work again, I had to go back to 10/16/2012 build...

Up. With 10/16/2012 build, I no longer experience unexpected download aborts, but I have frequent disconnections... I wonder if these various problems are related to the fact that I've switched from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion ? Everything else works fine under Mountain Lion and I add that UpnP is turned on and that diagnostics show that ports are successfully forwarded...

Finally, I've found a solution to frequent disconnections I experienced since my switch to Mountain Lion: this problem is related to energy saving preferences in the new OsX which are obviously differently managed by Mountain Lion than by Snow Leopard. When my computer is asleep, downloads are now interrupted. This is brutal, in my opinion and not relevant because the only obvious solution to avoid that is to maintain the computer permanently active which is not precisely an energy saving... But this is not a SoulseekQT specific issue ! I confirm that 2012.12.16 build was a "junk" one, though: I've given it another try just by curiosity, and I have again experienced downloads aborts as described above... I just talk about that to help you because for myself, I'm happy again with SoulseekQT 2013.2.12 without any unexpected aborts and disconnections ;)
