You lot need to upgrade to SoulseekNS.

Faster load times, no crashes (yet). Hurry up before someone takes your name. I've already set up an FST room.

I didn't get some things.

-One guy there, add me, and I add him, but when I browse him folder list, only shows "waiting for file list".
-When I search some musics, there are some in grey, and other in black, why I can only download the black?

It could mean that he/she has a lot of files and Soulseek is taking a minute or two to obtain all that info. It could also be that you two aren't pinging very well and Soulseek is having difficulty obtaining the information. That just happens sometimes.

Search results appear as black or gray for a reason. The files in gray mean the user who supplied the results has a queue. If the files are black, there's no queue. So basically, you're going to have to wait in line a while for your downloads to start if you're going to download from someone with a queue. You can see the length of the queue by looking under the "In Queue" tab. If the queue is over 200 or so, you'll be waiting a long time, especially if the user has a slow upload speed. If the user has a queue of about 10, 20, etc your downloads should start rather quickly. If you haven't figured it out, the queue is the amount of files a user has waiting to be uploaded. Simple as that.

Thank you for the support skizo

EDIT:

Iam having some problems, most of my downloads are showing "locally queued" then stops.
Is it slow a lot to download?

Have you added skizo to your list, you maybe should check his library out I am still digging my feet in on the old SoulSeek network, until whenever. Perhaps I should be more intrepid and check the new room out

It's referring to SoulSeek NS ( New Server)

For some reason It was decided to start a new network. So now there is the original SoulSeek network, and the New SoulSeek network running on different servers.

All I can say, is that I have not yet been able to download one single file on the new network and the old network seems to have become even more easy, to download the files I am seeking.. I am still in the old FileSharingTalk.com chat room ...sharing my files..
