i just tried to queue up the lcd album from this dude, and it turns out he had like 1 million GB of music in A SINGLE FOLDER. my fault for not checking, obviously, but come the fuck on. no sub folders at all. i hate this guy. my slsk crashes everytime i try to delete more than a few things at a time from the queue list, and i could be here all day deleting things. urgh!

people like that should be taken outside to have their teeth kicked in

Oh God, I did this like two months ago. Thousands of files to delete off of my d/l list. Had to take my computer off-line to fix it. Must have taken 2 days to clean up. God, it was awful. Tried to find the file in the slsk folder to delete (or open & edit) that had the list of names, but didn't have much luck. Hope you find the short-cut or get through it okay.

That's just crazy.

i know i know - im dling it on my work computer - i have most on my home comp already...

i got through it - i found the maximum number i could delete without crashing, and plowed through in a halfhour. from theo, sounds like it could have been much worse...

I ALWAYS look at the folder name before DLing a folder. It's a good habit, I think.

Yeah, really. I can't be bothered to 'organize' my MP3s. WHo the hell has time for that crap? I'm not on SLSK for the benefit of other people I am on there for myself. I mean, that said, I have ZERO "rules" -- anybody can download anything they want from me at anytime. Even newbies and people who don't share anything. I've never banned a soul (well there might have been one or two actually, I can't really remember why.) But don't whine like a baby because I'm not some OCD FREAK like the rest of the geeks on there. I have better things to do with my time than "organize folders".

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 11 March 2005 20:54 (twenty years ago)

It's definitely you.

― Salvador Saca (Mr. Xolotl), Friday, 11 March 2005 21:12 (twenty years ago)

haha i am guilty of this too. my mp3 folder is a horrible mess; i have a visual memory of where things are organized by date. yeah it's that bad. but come on you're getting the music for free!!!!!!!

You fucking whiny little shits...

;-D

I never "organize" my folder except to delete things.

― Honorary Banana Slug (nordicskilla), Friday, 11 March 2005 21:31 (twenty years ago)

There's probably somewhat of an OCD tendency involved in organizing folders, but for the most part I think it's just practicality. Once your files start to number in the thousands, it gets to be a huge pain in the ass trying to find anything if they aren't organized.

― Lingbertt, Friday, 11 March 2005 21:35 (twenty years ago)

BUT WHY ARENT THEY IN FOLDERS IN THE FIRST PLACE?

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 11 March 2005 21:46 (twenty years ago)

um, I use one search function?

I sort my files BY YEAR OF RELEASE. Hate me now!

― Stupornaut (natepatrin), Saturday, 12 March 2005 00:28 (twenty years ago)

If you delete the "queue.cfg" files in your slsk folder, it should clear your entire dl queue. You lose everything in line, but it has to be better than spending two days on it.

1 gig is not that much music.

five years pass...

This just happened to me - except it made slsk crash so bad it won't even open - just an hourglass. This idiot has something like 6,000 songs in one folder. So, in trying to download a Swearing At Motorists album, I now have things like the entire House of pain discography queued up jamming my shit. I tried uninstalling version 157 and downloading an earlier version, but the que remains. What do I do?

Also, it's a serious design flaw that there isn't a 'remove all current transfers' option for just this reason.

― If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Saturday, 10 April 2010 16:52 (fifteen years ago)

I think you can select all in the download window? Also, there's a file you can delete of current transfers. Forgot what it's called, but I think the name is obvious.

― Spencer Chow, Saturday, 10 April 2010 16:58 (fifteen years ago)

check your queue.cfg and delete it

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 April 2010 17:08 (fifteen years ago)

I keep all almost all my stuff (except mixes and new stuff) in one folder, there's many reasons for me to do it (I wouldn't take kindly to being called an idiot for doing this either), and believe me, it's just as if not more annoying for me to have people ques up my entire harddrive, especially when they fucking do it again after I delete their transfers.

What would be nice would be if there was some sort of limit you could put for queues at a time (i.e. one user can't queue more than 20 things at one, etc.)

― ●●●●●●●● (EDB), Saturday, 10 April 2010 17:09 (fifteen years ago)

and get the sam you need from me im sharing most of it

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 April 2010 17:13 (fifteen years ago)

Herman - how do I access this if slsk won't open?

― If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Saturday, 10 April 2010 17:29 (fifteen years ago)

If all else fails, how can I just delete slsk and start again? Because I uninstalled it once, and then re-downloaded it and the queue was the same. Weird

― If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Saturday, 10 April 2010 17:31 (fifteen years ago)

search for the file queue.cfg in your soulseek cfg folder (that I can't remember the name of - it's under appdata somewhere in windows) and delete it.

i think he might be on a mac iirc

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 April 2010 18:07 (fifteen years ago)

if you are on windows look in C: program files/soulseek and delete the queue.cfg like i said earlier. It will work as its happened to me before years ago

Buy albums. Physically.
