Hi, everyone.
First, we'd like to thank you for your patience through this week. It has been a rough ride for all of us, and certainly not what we would have expected. While it was unfortunate that matters took place in a way that we could have controlled better, we learned some things as well. All in all, it's certainly not a lost cause, and it had it's positive sides.
To get to the questions that are on the minds of most people:
Q. What day will Soulseek be back?
A. To be completely honest, we are not positive. We have simply been waiting on the new host all along, and with their paperwork there is not much more that we can do about the matter. We were told that it usually takes on average 2-3 days to re-assign an IP (this was on the Monday it went down), and by the end of the week, they were still processing paperwork. Ideally, it would be in the first couple days, but we can't make a promise of such.
Q. Will we have to download a new client / change our software?
A. You *MAY* have to change ports... we are unsure of that at the moment. Otherwise, everything else will be routed to the domain. The site will be the same, the address will be the same.
Q. What can we do to prevent this from happening again right away?
A. If it applies to you, or to someone you know, you can best help Soulseek by removing tracks by Sapphirecut from your shares. We do not suggest acting vigilant and tracking down users to tell them to do so, nor do we need any reports of who is sharing it. That's already well taken care of. Do not bother trying it to "see what the fuss is about" (you can hear them on her site if you are curious. www.sapphirecut.com ). This is the best thing that can be done for the network.
Q. Why don't you just block / filter the material by this artist?
A. Due to the nature of the system, we are unfortunately not able to implement such.
Hopefully this answers some of the questions you may have, and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you for your patience, and your support during a rough time. Your support make Soulseek the community it is.
Cheers.

OskarMaria lebt und arbeitet in Frankfurt - hier mit Sohnemann. Wenn freie Zeit fürs Internet bleibt, dann gibt es hier neue Beiträge. Lieblingszitat: "Von den Dreien, Staat, Regierung und Ich - bin ich der stärkste. Das merkt euch!" (Ret Marut aka B. Traven im Ziegelbrenner)
Nachtrag: OskarMaria das ist eine kleine Verbeugung vor dem beinahe vergessenen Schriftsteller Oskar Maria Graf. In Zeiten der Bücherverbrennungen wurden seine Werke von den Nazis verschont, ja sogar teilweise empfohlen. "Verbrennt mich!" schrieb er 1933 in der Wiener Arbeiterzeitung, "nach meinem ganzen Leben und nach meinem ganzen Schreiben habe ich das Recht, zu verlangen, dass meine Bücher der reinen Flamme des Scheiterhaufens überantwortet werden und nicht in die blutigen Hände und die verdorbenen Hirne der braunen Mordbanden gelangen!" Schließlich floh er in die USA - dort lebte er in bescheidenen Verhältnissen. Deutschland wollte den unbequemen Mann nach dem Krieg nicht wieder haben. Er starb 1967 in New York.
