I have downloaded the Hostlists file and replaced the old one with it whiel xolox was completely shut down it still gives me a network connection error. What gives? anything else I should do?

I also have changed my hostlist and it counts down to 6 left to try and then stops running. The next time I started xolox it started with under 200 hosts to try instead of the almost 500 on my previous hostlist. What gives? System resources also seem to be a big problem, as well as resuming older partial downloads in favor of newer ones.
