Missing search results compared to SoulseekQt

[randrej]

When running this tool and SoulseekQt from the same computer, with the same account and the same shared files, you get fewer search results. This is especially true for searches with few results (say, "Dark Dopamine Ceremony"), where slskd returns no results while SoulseekQt has a couple.

What gives?

Here's the config for slskd:

It also seems like I'm uploading a lot less (getting fewer upload requests), but this may be subjective.

It also seems like I'm uploading a lot less (getting fewer upload requests), but this may be subjective.

This is likely due to #489 not being implemented yet. SoulseekQt shows search results with the highest upload speed at the top, and slskd always sends a speed of 0 in results.

@randrej you'll want to be sure that you have port forwarding configured properly; if remote users that also don't have port forwarding configured can't connect to you then you won't receive any results for them.

@mathiascode not sure why the implications hadn't clicked for me until now, so thanks for the reminder. I'll need to prioritize that issue.

[randrej]

@jpdillingham I'm absolutely sure the ports are open. Maybe this issue that you've detected (reported speed of 0) gets my client ignored, or maybe it's something else.

[jpdillingham]

@randrej can you send your username (on Soulseek) along with a couple of searches where you've seen discrepancies to [email protected]? I'd like to see if I can reproduce what you're seeing, and check your connectivity.

@jpdillingham Sorry, I was quite busy, I sent you an e-mail.
