Or remove everything that has to do with SS from your pc and do a clean install?
(it still takes some to scan files and connect, be patient for 2-5 minutes)
It is also possible that you have to connect manualy, in the upperleft corner, click connect and be patient again)

its definitely the latest version, 145? Id prob redl it and try again, cos ifit is the old version, or the beta, methinks, then it won't connect. basically the server went down cos of all the people getting the new verrsion.

the old version has noone connected to it, you can't get our files from there, so youre better off with the new one, trust me, im a doctor.

i know its a pain, but try to redownload, and clean install (again, sorry :( ) and see what happens. It should connect superquick on the new one.

Make sure you use the current version (http://www.slsk.org/download.html).
Might sound stupid, but if you cant connect its sounds like your trying to connect to the old version which isnt running anymore.....
Sorry if you already did that.......

Server is up all day so thats not the problem.
Maybe read this (http://slskfaq.d2g.com/) and this (http://www.slsk.org/faq.html)
Goodluck

When you get that message, trying closing just the error dialogue box, leaving the client open. Then pull down the file menu (top, all the way to the left) and click on connect. Sometimes that works for me when I get the server down error.

I D/LOADED VERSION 140 of soulseek 2 days ago and im getting microsoft visual runtime library errors every 30 min or so programme terminated if i press ok it goes of and s/seek closes if i leave it alone its oki-sh for a while
its a great prog better than napster with all the latest music trouble is u have to get u stuff from 1 user not different users at once like kazaa which is a bitch and slows it down, now can i d/load the newest version 145 OVER the existing one(140 )and not lose my tunes ?

Don&#39;t feel bad, I&#39;ve tried a few times, and I gave up. I just can&#39;t justify the benefits of SoulSeek. I mean, I got great speeds, no doubt about that. However, it was very hard to configure, and I had to constantly add users. I share over 3600 mp3s, mostly full albums, at 192kbps, and people actually complained because they had to search for files. Some people even banned me because my files weren&#39;t "organized" to their standards. With all due respect, SS is garbage. <_< :huh: B)
