slsk is down but not dead. Should be back tomorrow or Friday.

from http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=77 :

For the last 24 hours, the popular Soulseek network and website has been
unavailable to its wide userbase. Because their host cache uses the same
IP address as their web server (Shareaza revisited), the network is not
accessible. Information gathered by Napjunk.com reports that the lone
operator of Soulseek, Nir, is simply switching web hosts. From Napjunk


steve says: Hey, I've had several users e-mail me and msg me on AIM/MSN
asking if Soulseek was down, since a lot of users seem to be having
problems connecting to the network. Was wondering if ya could tell me
what’s up so i can have something to tell them other than "i don’t know,
check back later to see if we find anything out"

Nir Says: Yeah, it's gonna be down for about three days. We're switching
providers.

Keeping my fingers crossed,
Charmtrap

A Mail from the slsk official forums moderator
(05.02.2003 15.45 GMT+1)

"hello, my nick is pudstah on slsk and i moderate the official forums
(which are down at the moment). a mate of mine who is an admin on
soulseek has been speaking with nir.

soulseek is in fact moving to a new host and will be back online within a
few days. this is due to delays between hosts.

the information provided by soulseek.de.vu is completely inaccurate and
the rumours surrounding RIAA injuctions are absurd, uneducated and
premature assumptions. there have also been postings by users
impersonating nir which state that the RIAA has shut down soulseek. this
is also quite ridiculous and ultimately false.

the official soulseek forums were shut down by jaren80's (owner of
remmelt.com where the forums are hosted) ISP due to excessive traffic.
this has been confirmed in an email he, himself, has sent to me. as he
has been away on holiday, the official forums will be back online later
this evening.

for ACCURATE information regarding the soulseek server status, users are
urged to visit #soulseek on EFnet (irc).

fellow p2p developer meth, who has been happily getting his XS client up
and running recently, is more than happy for people to continue sharing
and chatting via the XS beta client until the soulseek servers are back
online. the XS client, still in beta testing, can be downloaded from
www.methlabs.org"
