This question has allready answered by Seeker at the beginning of this thread (see the first page - click on the "1" on the top of the page now). The "Add host" feature does currently not work correct, but it's function is allready described in another thread ...and now also there.

Hello All,
Xolox doesn't work for me as well, even after I used the host file. I suppose my network configuration doesn't allow me to use a network without HTTP/FTP proxy. Kazaa doesn't work either. Does anybody know how to configure Xolox to make it connect and/or any other program that is working entirely through HTTP.

Thank you.

Hi Pasman,

It did work very good, after 2 days:"Network connection error". tried everything but still nothing. What next?

Use a Socks proxy if available or try tunneling Socks through HTTP? Many companies/schools restrict firewall traversals to http requests only. Socks2HTTP provides a SOCKS server, tunneling connections through a existing HTTP proxy (e.g. squid). This tunelling definitely is more geek stuff (and maybe forbidden in your place due to heavy traffic or possible copyright violations in P2P). Feel free to try (and plz give a feedback):

Hope it helps, Moak

:-) That did the trick cheers.

You guys are talking about things waaaay over my poor old head, but...
I keep getting a popup in the main screen that asks if I want to reconfigure my network connection.

Doh?

I'm on a DSL modem via USB. When I signed up, I chose LAN as my connection.

Did Da' Kid screw up?

Should I have selected "connected to the computer via a modem"?

Do I have to sacrifice a sheep?

Da' *** Gon' On Here?

All replies gratefully accepted.

Me.

I had the same problem to but i had my old list from a earlier installation

Still problems to connect + the update of the hostlists does not work.... ?

Make sure you are using Xolox V1.12 and using a new hostslist.txt!
Hmm, maybe this helps: Follow this thread

Thank you, Moak. It worked like a charm.... apparently I had a corrupted or incorrect hostsfile but as soon as I wiped it and installed yours the program loaded all hosts and is chugging along quite happily.

Quite a nice program, incidentally....
my compliments to the chef(s).

cool man & happy sharing

i do not understand how you are supposed to download that page?

I have tried 7 or 8 times to add hostslist to my directory but without any success. I cannot find any hostslist.txt files ....old or new........and all I have in the directory is a file called Templist.txt ...... but is totally empty. I have V1.12....dowmloaded

Any suggestions ....please

Try this... assuming you're in Windows...

Go to Moaks post above awhere he says "try this thread" and look for his attachment of "hostslist.txt". Right-click on that and choose "save target as". When the download window comes up, choose to save it into your Xolox directory directly or into My Documents. If you choose My Documents, as soon as it is downloaded, open My Documents and drag/drop the file into the Xolox directory.

Shut down Xolox and restart... give it a few minutes to download all the hosts in Moak's list.... it's pretty extensive.

Hope that helps!

By 'no joy', do you mean you are downloading nothing or is there some other symptom?

If you type' let's say, "palmer" into the search bar, you should see a tab come up with that word on it and in short order you should start seeing files appearing in the selection window.

Providing your program actually has checked all hosts ( and there's over 400 in Moak's list, which takes a few minutes) then all should be well. If not, please give us a few specifics ( can't see any files, can't transfer between task items, can't see any transfers, don't like vanilla ice cream, etc.)

Remember that even tho you may have a file listed in your transfer window, there's a good possibility that the computer upon which that particular file resides is down for the nite ( some people still do that) and that Xolox will find and start downloading the file as soon as the resident computer reconnects to the net.

Sail on!
