Soulseek General Discussion

I'm just about to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7, so I urgently need a tutorial describing the SoulSeekQt transfer procedure (queues, user list etc.).
(I already spotted an older thread, but I'm not sure it was the most recent update on the subject.)
Many thanks in advance.

You just need to copy the soulseek-client.dat file (if you're using Qt) and paste it back when you re-install the client on Windows 7.

All your information is in that dat file (user list, share config, etc)

It's located in AppData Local SoulseekQt I believe...

Many thanks!

I apologize for taking my sweet time before reacting, but this was a rather bumpy migration for me. I finally 'have the situation under control' to some extent and installed SoulSeekQt on the new system.

I will now do as you suggest, I look forward to getting my familiar environment back.
Thanks again.

Best regards,
Valentin
