Actually I found out that the less you share the better the download rates are. We only got async DSL (128Kbit up/768KBit down) and 4 uploads block the line so much that download speeds go down. I had to drop some of the more searched material and to limit upload bandwidth to be able to download at a proper speed again. Actually I think that sucks. I like sharing and do with tools like Gnucleus and WinMX but it's not possible with Xolox. Both also find more downloads are seem to find the fast servers. Maybe Xolox should be a bit more configurable and tell us a bit more about it's operations. I like the automatic search and download features very much but this tools needs quit a lot work on the uploads.
