Sorry for bad english....
I use nicotine 1.0.8 rc1 on mac OSX 10.3.9
From yesterday a recieved a message: Listening on port 2234 and nothing else..
when I restart X11 I get nicotin with settings window opened and same massage.
Please help
The program ran beautifully then all of a sudden it'll boot me off quite often (this may be the network's problem, not sure.) The main thing is that when I close the program and/or start it fresh, all my user info will be gone (including my entire qeue!). I have to re-enter all of my info, including destination folder, etc. etc. Anyone else having simlar problems?
If someone developed a giFT plugin for soulseek, life would make SO much sense. It would be nice to have Soulseek support in Poisoned or Xfactor.

well i am so sick and tired of trying to get soulseek to work on the mac....but it seems there is hope with this program....BUT how do i solve the "too many open files" problem?? nicotine can't save the config files becausee of this!!! HELP!!!
Hey folks,
To install, you just have to copy Nicotine.app from the disk image. While you certainly can install nicotine using Fink, according to Capt'n Swing's tutorial, that's not necessary to use Nicotine.app.
People still seem to be having some trouble with this: To download, you don't just double-click on a search result. You have to command-click on a result, and choose "Download" from the menu that pops up. Sorry it's so difficult.

This is great! I knew this (and pyslsk, too), already.
But these unix kompiling was very time intensive...
So, today I was glad to find an mac-a-like solution to get acces to slsk. I was so happy about that easy downloading and installing.
But I am sorry about that I can not connect - I stuck in the beginning. The application told me that it is connecting. Please, are there some hints to help me to get in?
The interface is fine - full of features to make this application a strong recommand to reach slsk!
I cant seem to get nicotine to download a single file. Is there a setting that would inhibit this function. I should just be able to double click in a file and get results right. Please reply if you have any idea on this issue. Much appreciated. Joseph Madej
i had the same prob that it would just sit there and do nothing the first time i launched it. then after a minute it started up / was able to connect. just let it sit there. it looks like nothins goin on but just wait. Ever since the first time it was launched now it starts up quickly.
I have X11 and Nicotine installed but when i click Nicotine nothing happens. I´ve checked the Read Me file and develloper website but didn´t find any tips or how-to install this app. Can anyone help ? Thanks
Glad you're liking the package!
To download, just go to the search tab, put in some search terms, and hit return. Then command-click (or right-click) on a search result and choose "Download".
As for the "wishlist" feature, that's not something I can really deal with myself--you'll have to talk to the nicotine developers.
I haven't heard of Nicotine stopping anybody from using the web before. One possible explanation is if you're downloading and uploading too much from Nicotine at once, there won't be any badwidth left over for other internet connections. Try changing your settings to limit upload speeds, and downloading less at once.
Thanks for putting this together!! Has saved me a great deal of time and effort, and I can now access Soulseek once more. However, I still have the same problem as when I previously installed Nicotine: it stops me from using the web. Why is this? Is it something to do with network ports? As soon as I exit Nicotine I can immediately surf once more, but never while it is in use. If you have any ideas or advice it would be greatly appreciated. Again though, many thanks for simplifying the installation process for all!
I just want to say thanks. SoulSeek is the only reason I have kept my old PC around. For those who enjoy compiling stuff etc., then great. But I am happy as heck to finally have a simple solution for running slsk on OSX.
Only one complaint, I wish it had the 'wishlist' feature that the PC version has.
Ehm sooorry but I cant believe this...it does work under 1 minute after one has installed X11 really, all I did was CLICK Nicotine and there it goes...Xterm opens...and after a short time the Nicotine application window shows up...what is all that fuzz about hours of installing it? It does work just so! Now I dont know how to get things to download, but I am sure someone will tell me in due time. Wonderful so far...I am on Soulseek and that seemed to be biggest trouble so far, maybe thats solved by now? if theres no change, I d rather save this pp to some CD in case it wont be available anymore after some time...who knows?...
actually....
no it doesnt take hours to compile and do the terminal thing any more...
this is an update i think to a version ive had for a while that is allready compiled and runs perfect under x11
it took me literally 5 minutes or less to install and run.
How would you rate Nicotine app?
