Soulseek General Discussion

Hey, I' Eugen. I just started using Soulseek on my new 15TB media server. Problems:

1. Soulseek puts completed subfolders in the Complete folder without their parent folder being completed. Then the user deletes or gets out and I'm left with orphans all over the place.

I would expect that if a downloaded folder (the folder you clicked download on) is COMPLETE, then it's put in the complete folder, with all it's subfolders. The key here is COMPLETE. :) You can't have incomplete folders in the Complete folder ... duh!!! Keep them in the Downloading folder until they're really done.

If a subfolder is complete, the download is NOT complete and that subfolder has no place in the Complete folder.

2. It would be helpful to pre-create folders and zero length files with a suffix appended (like .SLSKPART) to make it easy to see what it's still missing in the folder using a simple file search.

I'll keep you updated if I notice something else.
Thanks!

I have to quote Eugen.
The "complete" thing is a little confusing to me too, it's more like completed songs, not a complete JOB
I don't know the way I would make it work better, but there must be one imho
