    An actual alternative to the Soulseek client, using the same protocol. It's open source, and much more modern and feature-rich than the original one.

    Switched to Nictotine+ after SoulSeekQt began to conflict with the new version of Clash Verge, it works without complaints. You need to get used to different UI, but in some ways it's even more convenient, and creates the feeling of a real social network.

    This isn't really an alternative to Soulseek. Just to the NETWORK, but not to the CLIENT.
