Soulseek causing wi-fi crash

Since updating to the 2015.2.21 release, every few minutes, my wi-fi goes down. I restart the adapter, but it happens again and again, and only while Soulseek is running.

Do you have any idea why? And is there somewhere I can download an older version until this gets resolved?

Soulseek does use a lot of TCP connections to search, return search results and transfer files. It sounds like your router can't handle that level of activity.

The router is fine. It's the wi-fi adapter that's crashing. I've been using Soulseek for months without issue until I updated. Do you have downloads for old versions? I'd like to go back through each one until I find one that works. I can't remember which version I updated from. It might have been 2014-8-31.

My Wi-Fi adapter keeps crashing with latest release. Stuck in Limbo

Can't maintain connection in order to download Everything stops or aborts.

I switched adapters from the TL-WN8200ND I was using to a PCE-N15 and the problem seems to be gone. Not sure why this would be. They both use Realtek chipsets, though maybe not the same one.
