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. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

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. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. 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. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. 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.

Default Xolox Quits

I am trying to reproduce this problem to give more information, but after going to the release version of 1.5, I've noticed that Xolox quits and leaves no trace. I can't tell you how long it runs before this happens, because I leave Xolox running on my computer overnight. WHen I leave, it is running. When I return in the morning. Xolox is not running. Does Xolox leave messages to the system event log?

XP Pro (no service packs), 512 mB of memory, not an ultrapeer.

taco - Yep, same problem here. Been trying to sort it out since the upgrade. I ran the uninstall of v1.41 prior to installing v1.5 as well.

So far, I can't find any trace of a log either. The Event Log shows nothing to do with Xolox... Furthermore, it has happened quite a few times both while the PC was sitting and running only Xolox and while I was doing somehting else, like e-mail.

I wonder if there is a setting in one of the config for an auto time-out function that you can not configure within the Preferences Interface.

Same problem here too. I upgraded to 1.5 because after a few days of use 1.4 would freeze and I'd have to reinstall.

1.5 vanishes about 30 seconds after it's run on my setup. Nothing exotic here either: unmodified install of XP Pro w/all SPs and updates, Dell Inspiron 2650 w/256 ram and a 1.8 p4.

I was just trying to get into my preferences so I could also post how I have it configured, but now I can't even do anything in the program, it just locks up (kind of like 1.4 was doing, but faster).

I ended up backing out of 1.5 and back to 1.41.

All seems well now and the un-installs/re-installs did nothing to my downloads or resume/partials folder.

To switch between versions, all you need to do is to back up the files under Program Files/Xolox (excluding Downloads) and then just swap them in and out. Or at least that worked cool for me!

Hmm... well it's not simply "vanishing" anymore, but it is locking up, sort of like 1.4 was. It locks up right when it tries to change the banner the first time.

Unfortunately, I can't downgrade back to 1.4 since I upgraded hoping to fix bugs (XoloX crashing all the time).

Edit: scratch that, it locks up whenever ANYTHING on screen (in the program) changes, including trying to use the menu to get to the Preferences.

Edit: Hmm, this is interesting. If I jump straight to Transfers right when XoloX opens it will actually go for about 3 minutes downloading files successfully. It will lock up after a few banners load though, or if you try to do anything (including minimize or close the window).

You can tell I've got a lot to do at work, eh?

XoloX closing silently issue some people experience is being worked on. It's hard to narrow down ( or isolate) the cause since no error message is left.

whenever there is a new build that addresses that issue, you can be sure it will be told on here and the client start page.

thanks

Well, 1.56 is out and the problem is STILL there. In fact, it's even worse than before thanks to the new little popup when you open the program. If I don't catch it just right it will lock up and I have to try to open it again. The problem also now happens with the popup Yes/No dialog when you try to cancel a transfer, so my transfer list is now very loooooooooooooong...

I'm going to go try deleting the partials to clear it. Still doesn't solve the errors though, wtf is goin' on? It worked perfectly fine up until 1.41...

Thumbs up Version 1.56

Strange, the only problem I have is the very long transfer list with a lot of files that have a partial download status (80% and up, so please keep sharing) but XoloX never quits unless I say so .
I'm a very satisfied user. And I run on a Asus P2B with celeron (PII) 300mhz and 196sdram, Win98 . The number of connections to pears is always 5 and up. I just don't ultra pear because of the above configuration (The system is getting a bit sloooooooooooooooooooow !. )

As the original poster, I should follow up with that the Xolox team has cleared up my issues with Xolox quiting. WHen I posted the original message, it would not run more than a few minutes without crashing. Subsequent releases have cleared up most of the problems and now I got only occasional crashes (couple times a week at most). When the option is presented, I always send the report back to Xolox (but never to Microsoft -- it won't help them with world domination, will it?)

The most pressing problem now seems to be the lack of downloads. It doesn't seem useful for the search engine to find your files if it cannot follow up with a download. I gather from other sources that this is probably not the fault of Xolox, but other Gnutella clients not playing well with others. It this point, I get about a 5% success rate on downloads. Most just never complete. While I like Xolox, it isn't particularly useful to me with this low success rate.
