The window could show any peer's share tree but never this account's, so "am I actually sharing that?" had no answer short of asking a friend to browse you. The tree is already there; what was missing was feeding it from our own index. B opens it — the same collapsible tree, filter, and navigation the peer browse offers, built from `Shares::directories()`, which is the listing GetShareFileList answers with. So what it shows is what the network sees, not what the config meant to share. r re-scans the disk rather than re-asking a peer, o steps across to the folders that feed it, and nothing here queues a download from ourselves. Attached to a daemon the index lives on the daemon's host, so it comes back over a new `shares.files` method rather than being scanned locally; `shares files [--filter]` prints the same listing headless, through the `emit_listing` that `browse` now shares with it — the two are only comparable while they are built the same way. Two allocation fixes came out of the review, both on paths this reaches: the daemon hands its listing to the DTO instead of deep-copying one it already owns, and `Shares::directories()` allocates its map key once per folder rather than once per file, which the peer-facing serve path has been paying for all along.
soulseek-rs
A Soulseek client for the terminal: a full-screen TUI, and a one-shot command surface built for scripts and agents.
Website: https://re-invention.nl/soulseek-rs/
Installation
brew install michel/tap/soulseek-rs # macOS and Linux, prebuilt
cargo install soulseek-rs # anywhere with a Rust toolchain
Usage
Run it with no subcommand for the interactive TUI:
soulseek-rs
Anything else is a one-shot command that runs headless. stdout carries records only, stderr carries progress, and the exit code carries the verdict:
soulseek-rs search <QUERY> # print matching files
soulseek-rs get <QUERY> # search, pick the best, download
soulseek-rs download <USER> <PATH> # fetch one known file
soulseek-rs download --stdin # fetch files listed on stdin
soulseek-rs browse <USER> # list a user's shared files
soulseek-rs serve [--follow] # stay online sharing, stream uploads
soulseek-rs whoami # confirm credentials and connection
soulseek-rs user <NAME> # a peer's status and share counts
soulseek-rs room list|say|users|listen
soulseek-rs message send|read
soulseek-rs shares list|add|remove|status|reindex
soulseek-rs config path|list|get|set
soulseek-rs portmap # test automatic port mapping
soulseek-rs completions install # tab completion for bash/zsh/fish
Add --json for newline-delimited JSON instead of tab-separated text, so
commands compose:
soulseek-rs search "rjd2" --json \
| jq -c 'select(.size > 5000000 and .free_slot)' \
| soulseek-rs download --stdin
Exit codes: 0 success, 2 usage or config, 3 connect or login, 4 nothing
found, 5 timed out, 6 transfer failed, 7 session lost mid-command, 1
unexpected error.
The full README documents every
command, record shape, flag, environment variable and config.toml key.
