Hi KayaMan,

thanks for your reply..

I already unchecked "max. when idle" from the beginning...

LOL... So yesterday.. i did the following (sorry)..

downloaded limewire.. installed it correctly... and checked the 'KB/sec use' for the hole afternoon and night ... the average traffic (without files uploading) was less then 1,5KB/sec.... thats a difference !!!!!!!

I stopped limewire... started Xolox... and the traffic went up to 10KB/sec again!!!! (and no activity on harddisk)

Have to say that there is no other application running, when i stop Xolox the traffic drops to 0KB/sec.

Xolox version : the last one from july (1.21) downloaded from Cnet
system :
Laptop Compaq armada m700, pentium III 650mhz, 320MB ram, Windows NT4 service pack 4 (administrator rights for this machine), Ethernet card 100+, Novell 5 TCP/IP (workstation alone, ISP connection from my home, not office).
Cable modem internet connection (broadband)

Little detail : at my ISP account, i can check my upload/download "consumption" on 24 hour base and those results are matching with the DU-meter readings and totals.

So... i like Xolox, the interface is very practical and easy to 'read' and the functionnalities are more than sufficient but.... This "traffic" is an issue, i would like some help / solution... please!!

Have a nice week.. thanks anyway
