The makers of slsk are experiencing some financial problems, and need donations.
Acording to Nir (the maker of Soulseek) about half of 1 percent have made a donation.
What do u get in return? Well, for every $5 you donate, you get priority dwnloading for 1 month. and it's well worth it. virtually NO waiting in line to dl!
$5 a month is just pennies a day, and i think that everyone can afford that. Also, you might want to look at the monetary value of the crop of CD's you have collected via SoulSeek. Personally, I have downloaded over 9 gigs, and i'm still going strong!
Point your browser to www.soulseek.org and click on the paypal button to set up an account and help keep SoulSeek alive!

priority downloading means: no more 'remotely queued' files

thanks nanotech. the truth is the situation really isn't that bad anymore. the donations have been flowing pretty steadily in the few days we've been offering download privileges and for now we're in the clear. whereas I was in a bit of a panic before, I'm more than comfortable letting things take their course now. I don't see more than a fraction of our users ever making donations on a regular basis, but we only really need a fraction to keep going. true, only about 0.5% have made a donation so far, but it's been less than a week. things are definitely looking up.
