You must already have a Soulseek account before using this module.

• File search
• File download

This stuff is not implemented (yet?), but I wait your PR!

• Chat
• Sharing (+ Upnp opened port)

You must choose file with slots: true, or you'll wait a long time before downloading it.

I advise you to sort files by speed and select the best one (OK, speed is sent by client and can be fake, but the big majority is real).

const slsk = require('slsk-client')
slsk.connect({
  user: 'username',
  pass: 'password'
}, (err, client) => {
  client.search({
    req: 'random',
    timeout: 2000
  }, (err, res) => {
    if (err) return console.log(err)
    res = [
      {
        user: 'poulet',
        file: '@@poulet-files/random.mp3',
        size: 6437362,
        slots: true,
        bitrate: 320,
        speed: 1251293
      }
    ]
    client.download({
      file: res[0],
      path: __dirname + '/random.mp3'
    }, (err, data) => {
      //can res.send(data.buffer) if you use express
    })
  })
})

Return client (see just here ⬇)

List of files

[
  {
    "user": "jambon",
    "file": "@@jambon-slsk/myfile.m4a",
    "slots": true,
    "speed": 32
  }
]

You can handle results with events

client.on('found') // any search result
client.on('found:${req}') // or only a specific request

Return buffered file, callback called when file is completely downloaded. (Stored in RAM)

WARNING: please report any issue with this function Return streamed file, wait for parts to be downloaded, can be used for HTTP 206 (partial content) for example

Readable stream
