I run a small app that monitors net activity along with cpu/ram etc, and I did a small test today.

XoloX: Max upload is 1kb/s
NO uploads or downloads
Fresh install, newest version

Bandwidth consumption isn’t really constant, but it averages 3kb/s down, 4kb/s up..

I did several more tests.. Seems that 10kb/s for the max upstream or higher yielded the same results as far as network activity:

Results: 6kb/s down, 8kb/s up [average]


While this is inefficient when compared to any client currently supporting ultrapeers, it's perfectly acceptable for people on an unlimited bandwidth broadband connection. 56k users may feel the pinch of XoloX lagging the connection as long as they have it running, and anyone with harsh bandwidth limits will definitely notice..

My only hope is that ultrapeers will be implemented soon so this will no longer be an issue. Besides from this minor obstacle XoloX is an excellent program IMHO.
