slskd

slskd is a modern client-server application for sharing files through the Soulseek network. It is for people who use Soulseek and want an open source application with a client-server design. Soulseek is the program's network and its specific file-sharing context. This focus gives slskd a clear audience, but it also creates the main limitation: the program is tied to Soulseek rather than serving as a general-purpose file-transfer tool. Users who need other networks, protocols, file formats, or platforms should not assume that slskd supports them. The program is best suited to people whose file-sharing needs already center on Soulseek and who specifically want a client-server application for that network. Its role is narrow and concrete: it handles the Soulseek use case.
