Soulseek General Discussion

Just a heads up Nir:

It seems now every night SoulseekQT is locking up while I sleep and every morning I have to Task Manager/Kill restart QT. The icon and everything appears OK but I cannot bring to front / open SoulseekQT after X hours of being idle while I sleep.
NS never did this.

I know the PC does not sleep or hibernate.
Thoughts?

It's a bit of a drag to lose chats/queue info each night while I sleep and have to restart the client each morning.

Thanks for any help!

Do you get the same problem when running the client on Linux?

Negative, it's only a Windows 7 x64 issue to my knowledge. Though I can't pinpoint why overnight/idle for 8 hours would lock up Soulseek, I can tell you that using a 3rd party program (Process Lasso) made it so I told Soulseek to "always run" basically, no matter what - and that was my fix. For those without that Lasso program, I do believe SoulseekQT would still lock up after long idle times/lock screen/screensaver. (Regardless of whether or not the PC was sleeping or hibernating - as is.)

Thanks!
