I was a bit skeptical about trying a new client. I have, over the last 5 months, used near every other client. I finally had settled on Gnucleus. It crashed about every 2 days but had suffecient features.

In the 10 days I've been I've used Xolox it has not crashed once! I have downloaded more data using Xolox then I have in the last 2 months with all other clients, combined!

The true auto-resume feature is something I had dreamed about. It's an essential feature in a Gnutella client. Xolox's automatic auto-resume feature is much better than Gnuceus's manual auto-resume.

Thanks to the team for taking the time to write quality software.

BTW: On my AMD 1.2gzh, 256 megs memory. I haven't experienced the sluggishness other with slow machines (<500mzh) have experienced.

On a 1.2GHz Athlon, 256 MB PC133 RAM, and Windows ME, I've had lot's of problems with both sluggishness and crashing :-(. It's not you, it's ME. (laugh, it's funny). That probably _is_ the problem though.

When gnutellums pointed at the university for the 'xolox hosted' file, it was version 1.09 which had major memory usage problems, as noted in the support center, instead of 1.11.

For bugs/problems that occur more than once:

•What steps can you take to reproduce the error?
•Are you are using the latest version? (1.11 currently)
•What other programs are you using when it crashes?
•Are you running any background disk management (defragmentation) software?
•Are you running antivirus software that checks every file created or modified for viruses? If so you might want to have it ignore the /XoloX/temp directory.
•How many files and folders do you have shared?
•Are you ever using/playing files in folders XoloX is trying to index?
•Are you ever using/playing a file that XoloX is trying to upload to someone?
•Regarding general sluggishness, do you mean applications or internet browsing?
•What speed/type of internet connection do you have?

Can't think of anything else at the moment. Since your problems don't appar to be widespread, (at least I can't reproduce them) it's best to know as much as possible about the environment it is running in when problems do occur.

athlon 500 mhz 128Mb no problem running XoloX with multiple downloads and uploads and playing a fullscreen divx file at the same time.
Divx plays wthout any hickups.
current version 1.11

AMD 900, 512 MB, WIN2K Pro, Ver.109

- Norton Antivirus is used

- Xolox installed since 7 days

The program runs quite fine, but sometimes it seems as if it is occupied with something else, than reacting to mouseclicks.

Downloadrate is excellent and the resume function works great.

There's just one major problem with Xolox:

Noone can download any files from my network. Sometimes a transfer seems to start, but then the icon vanishes ...

The Firewall is properly installed and configured for Bearshare and Limewire.

Could it be, that Xolox uses any other ports than those other Gnutella clients ???

thanx for this program ,

I just upgraded to Ver 1.11 and uploading works fine now.
