STINKEY DIVER  Its a nicely designed program but its pretty much unusable in its current stage. It crashes like a fat guy on a pogo stick. Hopefully the next version wont suck as much.

WILLMC  It's rare that I write reviews, but man, this app deserves one. In short: total junk. It crashes all the time, making it incredibly frustrating to use. God forbid should you try to do several searches at once, or browse users, because if you do you're probably going to get a crash. Ugh. I've tried using this program for months and have always been on the edge of throwing in the towel, and now I finally am.

WHORIENTAL  I am having alot of problem with crashes. I have found a couple of things.

1) If you don't have and dls going, then the program runs super slow(beach ball on everything you click followed by a 15-30 sec wait).

2)If you have a dl going, the easiest way to make the thing log you out is to search for something with alot of results. (Actually this is any time.)

3)Log offs are AT RANDOM except for when you search for something with a lot of results.

4)People cannot search my files or upload very well.

CA  Strangely enough, SolarSeek writes this in the Console:

2006-12-25 12:37:52.617 SolarSeek[15844] TRANSFER: stop observing the old one.

It writes this hundreds of time.

CHEVRE  SolarSeek is cute and nice, but I really miss the 'download containing folder' that can be found on the original Soulseek client... Or I haven't seen where it hides ?

CA  I dumped Soulseex (no update since May 2005 sheeesh!) and switched to SolarSeek. I'm not looking back. Nice interface but it's not only a matter of cuteness. It's very good feature-wise as well. Keep up the good work!
