If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Lightbulb and by the way...

xolox does not seem to be able to support the claims users are making on it, either, judging from all the disgruntled posts 8D i hope the fabled 'xolox team' is working on a version 2.0. perhaps the xolox 'matrix' cannot handle all the automation implicit in the simplification. i dunno... just a guess.

Much more obvious would of course be that people who are happy with the program are much less likely to post here...

I have had many problems with the program as well everclear, but through fixes that i have either discovered on my own, or learned by other people's posts, my xolox is running fine the majority of the time.

I would also like to add that I love this program and I understand that it is still very young, but considering what else is out on the market, I'm not complaining. And by the way, its all free, so i dont really think that you have anything major to complain about.

Not necessarily, but quite likely. If you take a close look at the common complaints, you might notice that about 50 percent are of the kind "The problem can be resolved by replacing the user".

Another 30 percent can be grouped in the "does not have the least clue about how the gnutella network works or would be better of if he only would RTFM (respectively RTFW (read the friendly webboard))" category.

Another 10 percent can be wrote of as the common "U use other program than me. Me using most perfectest program. U must be stupid. Me most rulez!" troll.

And the last 10 percent are real decent existing problems that will hopefully be solved in future releases.

Default non-performance

one may hope so. essentially, what i'm hearing is: "if it needs fixed it'll get fixed so shut up already - can't you see that this is a fan-club, not a support forum?" don't bother replying, i'm gone, but i bear you no ill will. good luck! 8)

I'll answer anyway for others who might read this - one never knows. What you are hearing might not quite be what I was saying. There are existing problems and, as far as possible, I like to help people overcome this problems. I know that Moak and Seeker and Morgwen and many other people do the same...

But when request come in like "I do not download something, yet Xolox connects to four people already - IT IS SPYING ON ME!" it is a clear indication that the person in question has not the least bit knowledge how gnutella clients work. And also, that he is unwilling to get familiar even a little bit before yapping around.

When someone asks why Xolox will go up to 99 percent and then drop back to 60, the question would be easily answered if only they had looked. It has been answered here again and again and again. And again. And again... a clear indication that "asking and ranting is easier than trying to understand."

Don't hold it against me - but as I become older I become less willing to waste time on people unwilling to understand. Note that I'm not stating "unable to understand". I don't believe that's the case. I rather think of them as the fastfood-generation of the internet: order your question, yell if someone tells you that you could easily have found it out yourself. Make an *** of yourself, get plonked, live in eternal solitude... ah well, the ways of the young ones...
