The current Soulseek network is the second to have been in operation, both run by the same management. The older network, used up to version 156 of the client, was shut down after usage dropped to almost nothing. Version 157 of the client was the last for Microsoft Windows only, and work on it ceased in 2008. Its replacement, SoulseekQT, is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. SoulseekQt has slightly different functionality compared to the 157 client interface.
