[Edit: see suggestions in the posts below about Nicotine and slskd, and also about scary features of Soulseek.]

I was checking the download page for Soulseek.

Curiously, the last builds for Window$ and Ma¢ date 2026-04, but the last for Linux 2024-06. Is that just a typo? Or maybe vice versa, given that the last news is from 2024.

Dave they dropped development for Linux, or altogether?

Thanks for this info! I had no idea – my bad. Even though I'm an eMule veteran, I heard of Soulseek only six months ago or so. As you say, it's sad about all these scary features, given that it's really good for finding stuff.

I'm using Nicotine now, quite happy with it, and will give a try to aMule!
