    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.

    It's simply the best SLSK client, well maintained and very slick.

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