disconnect() told the listener thread to stop and dialled it awake, then returned while that thread was still unwinding, so the TcpListener was often still open when the caller moved on. A client built straight after a drop then found its configured port taken and fell back to an ephemeral one. The TUI login screen does exactly that when it replaces an attempt. The listener thread now raises a flag once it has dropped its socket, and after the wake-up dial has landed, disconnect() waits for that flag, bounded at two seconds, so the port can be bound again by the time disconnect() or Drop returns. A listener that cannot be woken, or is held past the bound by a full handshake queue, finishes on its own as before. The flag is an Arc<AtomicBool>, like the stop flag beside it: keeping the thread's JoinHandle instead would leave Client neither UnwindSafe nor RefUnwindSafe, which is a breaking change for the library. Nicotine+ and Soulseek.NET both close the listen socket as part of disconnecting; this makes that hold by the time the call returns.
soulseek-rs-lib
A Rust library for implementing the Soulseek peer-to-peer protocol.
Website: https://re-invention.nl/soulseek-rs/
About
This library provides the core functionality for interacting with the Soulseek network. It can be used to build custom Soulseek clients.
Usage
Add it to your Cargo.toml:
cargo add soulseek-rs-lib
Example
Simple Usage
use soulseek_rs::Client;
use std::time::Duration;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Create and connect to Soulseek server
let mut client = Client::new("username", "password");
client.connect()?;
client.login()?;
// Search for files
let results = client.search("Alex Kassian lifestream", Duration::from_secs(10))?;
// Download first available file
if let Some(result) = results.iter().find(|r| !r.files.is_empty()) {
let file = &result.files[0];
let (_download, status) = client.download(
file.name.clone(),
file.username.clone(),
file.size,
"~/Downloads".to_string(),
)?;
// `download` returns as soon as the request is queued: the transfer is
// finished when the channel says so, not when this call returns.
for update in status {
println!("{}: {update:?}", file.name);
}
}
Ok(())
}
Advanced Configuration
use soulseek_rs::{Client, ClientSettings, PeerAddress};
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Create client with custom settings
let settings = ClientSettings {
server_address: PeerAddress::new("server.slsknet.org".to_string(), 2416),
enable_listen: true,
listen_port: 3000,
..ClientSettings::new("username", "password")
};
let mut client = Client::with_settings(settings);
client.connect()?;
client.login()?;
Ok(())
}
Asking about a peer
The server-backed lookups are request/poll pairs: you ask, then read the
answer once it lands. request_user_info clears any previous answer first, so
the loop below observes this request rather than the last one.
use soulseek_rs::Client;
use std::thread::sleep;
use std::time::{Duration, Instant};
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let mut client = Client::new("username", "password");
client.connect()?;
client.login()?;
client.request_user_info("someuser")?;
let deadline = Instant::now() + Duration::from_secs(10);
while Instant::now() < deadline {
if let Some(info) = client.user_info("someuser") {
// Presence and stats are separate replies, so each is an Option:
// a reply that never arrived is None, not "offline" or "shares nothing".
println!("{:?} {:?}", info.presence, info.stats);
break;
}
sleep(Duration::from_millis(100));
}
// Room membership is kept current from join and leave events.
println!("{:?}", client.room_members("lobby"));
Ok(())
}
ClientOperation is #[non_exhaustive]: every protocol message the client
learns to handle adds a variant, so match it with a wildcard arm. SharedFile
is too, so build it with the .. syntax rather than listing every field.
