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.

Unhappy I get the same problem

This is a great program, but I have had to reboot every time I've used it *except the first time* . I'm not sure of the exact error. I too run a high end 98SE machine on a cable modem.
keep up the good work.

Default reboot

It will help the reboot problem if you close your searches before you shut down Xolox. Also defragging your HD will help you use fewer resources and make your Internet connection smoother.

I found that the most likely place to crash XoloX when shutting down is when you are in transfer mode window.
Try to switch to another mode before closing XoloX.
Let me know if it worked. Will be investigated.

Question

Same prob here. USing Win98 P3 190mb ADSL. It doesn't mather if i leave it alone or browse the internet. after x amount of time (20 min- 45min) my downloads stops and cannot browse any more (unable to...). when Stopping all running progs. dial in again lauch IE to ISP homepage unable to find.... message. Only when restarting the pc ( first do it through windows. Win exits and blocks. need to reset it manually.) it will work again. Any solutions? Is it Xolox bug or conflicts with other progs. Running other progs is fine just browsing and d\l not possible.

Changing tabs end closing search tabs still same problem. In otherwords always need to be around the pc each hour to check if its still working.

thanks

Default Help please!

jonjimgreg (above) explained my problem precisely.
After running XoloX for about 10-25 minutes (straight after booting, before I run anything else), my cable connection freezes. Then I try IE5, Mozila, Yahoo messenger, Outlook and anything else I can think of. These and other programs run fine but they can't access the Internet. I don't typically have a problem with these programs if I haven't run XoloX previously. Note that rebooting isn't our problem, but is annoyingly the only solution so far. Can you please help find a better one? I'm betting we all use ZoneAlarm, if that helps. And I recently installed Download Accelorator Plus and WinHTTrack, though these programs aren't running, not even in the tray, when this problem crops up. Also note that disconnecting the data and power from my cable modem, then reconnecting them after 5 minutes doesn't help.

Thanks so much
Steve

P.S. my config = win98se / PIII800 / 256MB

Thumbs up try this

I have seen this a number of times.
One problem is I believe related to the hostlist file.
If you have got a file from someone else then your ip
could be in there.
I have watched the incoming and outgoing tcp
connection to my ip starting up, usually Xolox has lost a
host and has checked for others in the list.

Sometime after this the local loop back excludes more and more
connections until even your isp does not think you are online
any more. ( Software login security I assume you have )
I just have to reconnect to my service provider and its fine again.

That is untill you hit your host again.
Therefore try changing the hostlist file for another.
In a post some months ago I believe the developers were going
to exclude using you own host when you come across it in the
hostlist file.

Still nothing.

To change host file i did this:
* Stop Xolox (even in taskbar!)
* Go into your Xolox directory and rename your old hostslist.txt to hostslistold.txt (use the Windows Explorer if needed to find and do this)
* Download a fresh hostslist.txt with your webbrowser, see above and click the underlined attachment, save it on disk.... on your desktop.
* Copy the hostslist.txt from the desktop into your Xolox directory.
* Now start Xolox....

Again after some time no connection working=> restart pc only solution.

Am patiently waiting untill then using direct connect (hate the requirements, I only have 8gb ofHD 0f wich max 4 gb to share)) and morpheus ( allright with mp3) at least good conection. Any suggestion till Xolos is functioning on my PC?????
