Friend of mine has just shelled out for a Mac and asked what I used for p2p. I have the official slsk client on the PC, but there seem to be a few choices for the Mac slsk client.Which should he go for?Thanks in advance. I asked this last night on the strut slsk forum but folls slept.

    Tell him to buy Parrallels (sp?) and install soulseek.

    the two main ones I found when I looked were Nicotine and SoulseeX

    Nicotine requires a bunch of additional plug-ins and going into the console utility to set it up whereas SoulseeX is very simple like limewire.


    needless to say I use soulseex. Speaking of which, I'm new to the slsk game, any tips or recommendations?

    There is an official strut room on slsk. In the room list, click (or right-click) "Create Room", enter "soulstrut" and see who's online.

    I have used solarseek in the past and it seems pretty good. I had tried to setup Nicotine a couple of years ago but there is too much work you need to do to set it up. Solarseek is just install and use....simple!

    yeah, it's a little weird at first. Go to "window" and select "search and transfers"

    then there is a little button at the bottom "new searches" hit that, plug in your search terms, hit enter and let it do its work. When you double click on a file you want it will que up for downloading. You can hit the "downloads" button at the bottom of the window to track progress

    I like the interface on Solarseek better than SoulseeX. SoulseeX has individual windows for everything while Solarseek has access to everything in one window. Althought, I haven't used either for a while now that I got laid off and had to hand my powerbook back so SoulseeX might actually function better.

    I've had no problems with SolarSeek, either.
