Common issues with Nicotine+
All Versions
Scanning shares crashes Nicotine+
There is an major issue with PyVorbis 1.3 and 1.4 where often (and sometimes always) scanning your shares causes a crash if there are any ogg files in them. If you run Nicotine+ from a terminal, you'll will these and other messages into a terminal after i crashes.
*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x09441e50 *** ... /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ogg/vorbis.so ...
The solution is to either remove PyVorbis or get it patched (there are no fixed releases as of 13 March 2007).

Downloads restart even after being canceled
This is due to the imprecise way "remote-uploads" were integrated into the Soulseek procotol and Nicotine, specifically. If you disable "Allow buddies to send you files" under Settings->Transfers this problem usually goes away.
This will be fixed, eventually.
Hardly anyone downloads from me
This is because only official clients ( Windows Soulseek and soulseeX ) are allowed to use the distributed search tree , which is the best search method.
If you don't like this, complain to the Soulseek administrators about it.
