Soulseek is still up and kicking.

I thought about it and found it a bit too social and too insular - having "rooms" as a central feature feels odd to me who would rather use a global search of the whole file-sharing network.

Also, having to run a desktop client was putting me off. But then I just found http://www.museek-plus.org so I might try that... But it is disappearing from Debian: https://packages.qa.debian.org/m/museek+.html - not a good sign...
