SoulSeek for Linux
Soulseek (http://www.slsknet.org) is a communication and file-sharing system. It is quite similar to Napster: it lets you exchange files, search for files, chat with other users in public and in private, browse their files, and get recommendations for music. SoulSeek for Linux is a GUI client for the system written in Python/wxPython. It includes all the major functionality: chat, searches, and file transfers.

Article says "It used to be the reason for network crashes due to CPU overloading." That means it happened in the past, but does not happen anymore.
Is it stable?
I read article about soulseek network (http://p2pclients.org/2007/02/02/soulseek-is-a-good-old-music-file-sharing/). Author said that network is unstable due central server. Is it right?
