it looks like it still works

you should disconnect from internet before running xolox
to turn off auto update..

or .....

i have two computer which I installed xolox

I ran xolox and i got a message that it will discontinue
then i coulnd't download....and i read messages

so i copied a xolox.exe file from another computer
and overwrite it and ran it with internet connection off
and turned off auto update..

and i connected to internet and ran xolox
and i am downloading a file from 2 users at 30k

i didin't have to block port 80

i hope many people would do this and xolox prosper

if already updated
overwrite xolox.exe file

or get a install file and reinstall it

and turn off auto update

Use the current Xolox version... it's the best!

Just block http requests to www.xolox.nl/info/ in your Firewall (Zonealarm) or Proxy (squid). In the current Xolox startpage is a expire-tag you have to block, then Xolox runs perfect.

PS: <!-- Expired Version --> <input value="Expired Version" type="hidden">

XOLOX IS NOT DEAD, IT'S STILL WORKS LIKE BEFORE !!!!!!!


When I started XoloX today (12/1) I got a box popup that says "Version Expired".
The download transfers started as normally.
But I couldn't download any file anymore.
I quit Xolox.

In my firewal Zonealarm I shutoff all internet connections.
Started Xolox again and turned off "Automaticly download and
install newer Xolox Versions".
Then I unlocked in Zonealarm the internet connections, so that Xolox could connect again to the Internet.
I didn't received the popup box anymore.

The download options was enabled and I started to download again.
It's very important that as much as many people try to use Xolox again.

Xolox works now like before.

In the current Xolox startpage is a expire-tag you have to block, then Xolox runs perfect. Two solutions:

1. Just block http requests to www.xolox.nl (194.109.6.83) in your Firewall (Zonealarm) or block www.xolox.nl/info/ in your Proxy (Webwasher, squid). Start Xolox... it works!

2. Another solution is to block DNS request. On Win9x it is usually C:\windows\hosts, on windows NT/2000 it is usually C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc.hosts (Use "search/find files/folders" on the start button to find the file 'hosts' with no extension). Once you locate the file, add the line below (all on one line by itself, then start Xolox):
127.0.0.1 www.xolox.nl

I redirected www.xolox.nl to localhost by editing my hosts file like you suggested. Works perfectly, thanks!

Yeah, ditto. Thanks guys. Long live unsupported Xolox.

P.S. It seems the announcement of the demise has prompted some users to hurriedly log on to d/l and share their files....bad news-good consequence.
