I'm pinning this topic so that XP users can easily find the latest version of SoulseekQt that works for them. The Qt framework dropped support for XP a few versions ago, so a special build has to be made for each new version against an older version of Qt (5.5.1). Also, the deployment tool provided by newer versions of Qt that I rely on to distribute SoulseekQt now is not available in Qt 5.5.1, so I'm only providing the standalone SoulseekQt executable in a zip file here:

Please consider a low memory client for XP.
My DJ laptop runs XP with only 2GB RAM

Just wanna add a +1 to asking for a reupload for that. Windows xp is a really nice os for nostalgia and 00s gaming so having a client to easily download mp3's would be really nice.

I tried rebuilding the latest code with Qt 5.6 but didn't get very far. This is the older version originally linked to: https://f004.backblazeb2.com/file/SoulseekQt/SoulseekQt-XP-2018-1-30.zip

Thank you so much! I'll make sure to try it out! that's way better already than the version I ended up installing which is from 2014 and just like nt seemed to miss quite a lot of music
