i'm new at this, and i am downloading, but nothing is showing up on my download page. whats going on?

Could you give some more info on you?

What OS? What Version of Phex? What exactly did you do (steps)?
I guess, you got search results... else you wouldn't wait for somethign to appearin the download list.
Did you click "fast download" or "download"?

I'm using Windows XP, Phex version 2.0076.
I double clicked on my search results, so i guess the quick download.
Also, can you cancel quick downloads?
thank you for helping

You can only cancel them in the download pane...

Try choosing teh download and clicking the "quick download" button. If that doesn't help, please post it!

I did a search, picked a file and clicked the quick download button at the bottom of the page. I went to the download tab and nothing appeared in candidates or segments.
what do the _/_/_ mean, next to downloads in the bottom left (next to connections?

Did you click on the file in the download-pane?

The _/_/_ are "active dls/queued dls/remaning sources"

(Somebody corect me, if it is not remaining sources, but "number of all sources").

That's the problem, there are no files listed in the download pane. they aren't showing up. But i have 20 on que that i can't stop or get rid of.

Then I assume phex doesn't have write permissions on its files.

Try deleting all preferences files of phex.

I don't know where Phex saves them on Windows. On my Mac it is a folder named ".phex" in my user-folder.
