Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Mr. polite it makes me sick if I read such posts...

Xolox has not the ability to share files without your permission, so it must me a search query... nobody can share files through your computer you don´t want to...

And next time keep cool and ask before you accuse someone in this way...

I think these are just the queries cached by that client or am i wrong? As long as you are not providing or downloading any child porn I think you shouldnt care about queries.

This is just part of a query packet

PacketHeader:
MsgID = 3F EE 3F 3C-9B 71 D6 11 B2 92 44 45 53 54 00 00
FuncID = 80 ( Query )
TTL = 01
Hops = 06
PayloadLen = 19 00 00 00

Query:
MinSpeed = 00 00
SearchString = 69 6E 63 65 73 74 20 6B 69 64 64-79 20 72 61 70 65 20 6D70 65 67 00

@Paradog
you say:"I think these are just the queries cached by that client or am i wrong? As long as you are not providing or downloading any child porn I think you shouldnt care about queries."

Do you condone child porn?.

@Morgwen
You say:Xolox has not the ability to share files without your permission, so it must me a search query...

I am sharing nothing,It seems funny to me that I sent and recieved over 5Mb in less than 5 minutes,from only 2 IP addresses.Mabe it was a file from one to the other???.

As for how the packet sniffer works, Well here goes:
First - Double click the Packet Sniffer icon t o load it.
Second - Click on the start icon at the top left.
And away it goes.

P.S Any thing to do with Child Porn is WRONG, I dont care if it is a search or a file, it is still WRONG

This are is normal search traffic, 5Mb are you sure this is only from Xolox? Its a little high but you say you are not sharing... so you are downloading?

I think when the network is under high load, its possible to have 5Mb up- download traffic, especailly if you are downloading...

btw you share nothing? why?

Its also wrong to download illegal files or don´t share your files etc.... but this has nothing to do with Xolox!

I don't believe anyone here was condoning child porn.

As for sending 5mb in 5 minutes...

How long has your client been connected?

Were you searching for files ( any type ) or just letting the program run?

You say you sent/recv'd this from 2 ips is that all you were connected to?

Where did you get the 5mb number from?

P.S. I am not trying to discount your problem just trying to help
answer it. And no I don't condone child porn either.

I have only installed Xolox today and had not yet put anything in the share folder.
And no I was not downloading anything,I was sitting here watching my Mb usage going out the window.
P.S Xolox was the only internet program I had running.

5Mb in 5minutes in not a little high, Its way to high.

@tshdos

I had ben connected to my ISP for 7minutes.
The Xolox program was started about 2 minutes after I connected to my ISP.
Iwas not doing anything with the program, just letting it run.

"You say you sent/recv'd this from 2 ips is that all you were connected to?"

No I had many connections made by Xolox but only 2 of them were Sending/Recieving like mad, the others wernt doing much.

And as to where I got the 5Mb number from,Connection Status.

Thank you for your response.

A couple more questions.

Do you happen to know the approximate number of connections xolox had?

Approximately what speed connection do you have?

The approximate number of connections was around 10 to 15.

And I am using Cable, up to 1Mb/sec transfer.

I am a little amazed at my results but it appears that 5mb/5min is about normal based on your amount of connections and client software. Here are the results from my testing:

The first test was 2 connections for 5 minutes and I transferred about 500Kb +/- 50Kb.

The second test was with 8 hosts and it consumed 3.5Mb/5min

The third test was with 3 connections to "Super Nodes" with 100Kb +/- 25Kb after 5 minutes.

If you don't have any extra bandwidth to "waste" I would suggest you limit the number of connections you keep to between 2 to 4. If you were to use a program that supports "Super Nodes" and you connected as a child (leaf) node your bandwidth would be reduced quite a bit.

PS - I am not sure if xolox supports supernodes so maybe someone could confirm it.

If 5mb/5min is normal, why does Kazaa does not do this, or previously Napster. I have tested kazaa and I was shocked when I saw that it gave a tiny fraction of results compared to Xolox, with COMMVIEW.
