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 Bugs

Ok, I thought I would make a thread of the bugs I know about.

Major bugs:
>Changing download directory reults in MAJOR probs
>WinME users experience crashing [although XoloX may not be necessary to make ME crash, lol.]
>Safe downloading still happens when option isnt enabled
>Freezes on startup about 1 of 5 times when tip of the day isnt enabled.

Other Bugs:
>Access violations occur with some third party mouse software, IE: Pointers XP

Display glitches ::
>Upload speed is truncated
>Downloads go from 99% to 105%, then to 100%

Other problems:
>Excessive CPU usage at times.

I would like to add, however, this is a beta; as far as betas go, this is an excellent program.

Gamer some of those bugs I added to the FAQ days ago and reported weeks ago because they were bugs I figured out solutions for and in turn let you know about.

>Changing download directory reults in MAJOR probs
FAQ questions and answer. I told all about it weeks ago including you.


>Freezes on startup about 1 of 5 times when tip of the day isnt >enabled.
Also told you about it

>Display glitches ::
>Upload speed is truncated
Everyone noticed that and has been reported in many other posts.

>Downloads go from 99% to 105%, then to 100%
Minor , i believe this has to do with the estimates

However I am glad you put this post up and will make it a sticky and the public can post the many bugs we collectively already know about to avoid this sort of repeats on the forum. Also read the FAQ , I cover many of the major bugs for this build in the XoloX Q&A.

known bugs in addition to the ones listed above:
-1)When going upgrading from an older build or version to a new one , deleting the registry key is a must to avoid many freezing up issues and other small quirks

2) Exception EFOpenError in "SocketDataAvailable" errors and similar upon connect.
- Users are welcome to join Chat to help isolate and troubleshoot this one.


3)Error message: 'Unhandled exception EConvertError Exception message:''132546'' is not a valid time'
- Users are welcome to join Chat to help isolate and troubleshoot this one.

4)Changing download directory reults in MAJOR probs
- Known - in FAQ under searching and downloading

5)WinME users experience crashing [although XoloX may not be necessary to make ME crash, lol.]
argh, wME is brutal
6)Safe downloading still happens when option isnt enabled
- Any others with this? This is the first I hear of this isolated bug.

7)Freezes on startup about 1 of 5 times when tip of the day isnt enabled.
- Known - Also in FAQ in 'installation' section.


8)Access violations occur with some third party mouse software, IE: Pointers XP
- Known bug and solution thanks to Gamer

9) >Upload speed is truncated
- Known and obvious

10) add Other bugs below !

Please post your bugs here rather then new threads that will only add the confusion. Although there is a database of bugs from the reporting system, this is for Forum users to avoid repeating the same issues while also helping us solve them.
Feel free to join #XoloXHelp room on chat and we can help troubleshoot new problems together.

thanks!

For some reason whenever I close Xolox my entire computer restarts. No "nice" shutdown, it just acts as if I pushed the "reset" button on my computer. Then when I boot up it wants me to do a disk check and it finds some files that need to be truncated.

I'm running:

Windows XP - Professional
256MB of DDRRam
Athlon XP 1700+ (1.47ghz)
1x13GB harddrive 7200rpm
1x40gb harddrive 7200rpm

Cable modem 1.5mbps/128kbps

Try this:
1. - Create a new folder in the same folder you installed XoloX and name it 'temp'. (i.e.: /program files/XoloX/temp).
- To create a new folder within a Windows directory; Right Click > Choose 'New' > 'New Folder' and rename it to 'Temp'.
2. - Now within XoloX go to Tools > Preferences > Downloads Tab. Set the 'save incomplete files to this directory' setting to the new folder you just created.

Unhappy

Still no luck. I know why the files need to be truncated, it's because they were being accessed when the computer shuts off. It's like, I hit the X on xolox, it goes down to the tray, I right click, hit exit, and immediatly after I click exit my screen goes black and starts the bootup procedure.
