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.

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. |

 What now? What next? Hello, this is what XoloX' greeted me with just a few minutes ago: <blockquote> <p>Dear XoloX-user,</p> <p>Taking into account the lates law suits against p2p clients based on Fasttrack-technology (such as Kazaa), we have decided to discontinue XoloX. As of the 1st of december, XoloX will be shut down and removed from distribution sites. We hope everybody has enjoyed XoloX as long as it has been around and we want to use this opportunity to thank everybody who made a contribution to its development. These last few days will give you some time to finish your downloads and we advise you not to start new transfers. If you want to migrate to another p2p client we advise you to visit the Zeropaid website (www.zeropaid.com) for orientation.</p> <p>Thanks again and goodbye!</p> <p>--Team XoloX--</p> </blockquote> First of All, I want to say "No, thanks to YOU!" - XoloX is one of the best Gnutella clients I know, (easy to use, and what not. You've probably read this a few hundred times ;-) and thinking of it to not start the network tomorrow makes me already miss it... But just after I finished reading the above message, a few questions popped up in my mind... First of all, if a filesharing... uh... "facility" had to "die", it didn't really die. It just "dodged". Public MP3 FTP servers became private, with a personal authentification over IRC, ICQ, etc. Napster led to OpenNap and the likes, and even a 100% filtered Audiogalaxy Database would still be usefull in saving you hours of XoloX' continous search. (As long as it's still accessable, that is...) So, Here's question #1: Could you please publish the source? I'd bet there'll be someone with enough courage and financial sources to continue development. Second thing I'd like to know is: Will XoloX still work later when I enter a custom Gnutellahost? I mean, this is a Gnutella client, after all... Anyway, thanks for another piece of fun software, Unregistered |

| aha, let's kill Gnutella... ... and make more leecher-freeloading tools, such as all other Gnutella clients allready are and finally bring Gnutella down to it's knees? One reason for eDonkeys not to go opensource/GPL is to protect it against freeloaders. Why do you think is FastTrack/eDonkey that fast? Gnutella should learn from them. When the first modern Gnutella client after Xolox will come (Limewire, Phex, Peeranha?) and offers multihosted downloads without anti-freeloading (e.g. minimum upload or swarming), then Gnutella will be dead! Please learn from FastTrack/eDonkey/Xolox and improve the only open source P2P (beside Freenet)! http://forums.edonkey2000.com/phpBB/...375&forum=11&4 http://forums.edonkey2000.com/phpBB/...455&forum=11&4 |

 Overall change I have used Bearshare for awhile and more recently Limewire and very recently Xolox. Even though Bearshare lets you see more of what is going on with all it's different windows, at least older versions did, xolox (hate to see 'er go) hasn't dumped so many of my downloads as other p2p programs have. Last night I was hauling butt with xolox for awhile at around 100 kbs on one of the transfers. Iv'e never gotten bearshare or limewire to do this. I have noticed a disturbing change i one thing in particular and I'm hoping it's just something with my computer and not the gnuttella network. I share somewhere around 4,000 files and about two months ago or so, not really sure, I would almost always have somewhere around 10 people downloading from me and this would remain consistent from a few minutes after connecting until going off. Lately, whatever I am using there is only 1 or two downloads an hour and I've also noticed that it is getting alot harder to find stuff and I'm getting fewer results from my searches. I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this too and if they know what it is. On a final note, thanks so much to all the developers of xolox and I am so sorry to see such a good thing go. |

| At least it still works a little, at least for me. I did notice a significant file dropout. Now only one files downloads at a time, compared to the 4 or 5 I had enjoed before. That's probably not much anyway. Oh well, even though it says 'this version has expired', I'm glad it still works. |

Overall though, my experience with Xolox has been fantastic. I'm still sharing tons of files and downloading lots of great stuff. |
