Bugs
 

Ok, I thought I would make a thread of the bugs I know about.

Major bugs:
>Changing download directory reults in MAJOR probs
>WinME users experience crashing [although XoloX may not be necessary to make ME crash, lol.]
>Safe downloading still happens when option isnt enabled
>Freezes on startup about 1 of 5 times when tip of the day isnt enabled.

Other Bugs:
>Access violations occur with some third party mouse software, IE: Pointers XP

Display glitches ::
>Upload speed is truncated
>Downloads go from 99% to 105%, then to 100%

Other problems:
>Excessive CPU usage at times.

I would like to add, however, this is a beta; as far as betas go, this is an excellent program.

Gamer some of those bugs I added to the FAQ days ago and reported weeks ago because they were bugs I figured out solutions for and in turn let you know about.

>Changing download directory reults in MAJOR probs
FAQ questions and answer. I told all about it weeks ago including you.


>Freezes on startup about 1 of 5 times when tip of the day isnt >enabled.
Also told you about it

>Display glitches ::
>Upload speed is truncated
Everyone noticed that and has been reported in many other posts.

>Downloads go from 99% to 105%, then to 100%
Minor , i believe this has to do with the estimates

However I am glad you put this post up and will make it a sticky and the public can post the many bugs we collectively already know about to avoid this sort of repeats on the forum. Also read the FAQ , I cover many of the major bugs for this build in the XoloX Q&A.

known bugs in addition to the ones listed above:
-1)When going upgrading from an older build or version to a new one , deleting the registry key is a must to avoid many freezing up issues and other small quirks

2) Exception EFOpenError in "SocketDataAvailable" errors and similar upon connect.
- Users are welcome to join Chat to help isolate and troubleshoot this one.


3)Error message: 'Unhandled exception EConvertError Exception message:''132546'' is not a valid time'
- Users are welcome to join Chat to help isolate and troubleshoot this one.

4)Changing download directory reults in MAJOR probs
- Known - in FAQ under searching and downloading

5)WinME users experience crashing [although XoloX may not be necessary to make ME crash, lol.]
argh, wME is brutal
6)Safe downloading still happens when option isnt enabled
- Any others with this? This is the first I hear of this isolated bug.

7)Freezes on startup about 1 of 5 times when tip of the day isnt enabled.
- Known - Also in FAQ in 'installation' section.


8)Access violations occur with some third party mouse software, IE: Pointers XP
- Known bug and solution thanks to Gamer

9) >Upload speed is truncated
- Known and obvious :)

Please post your bugs here rather then new threads that will only add the confusion. Although there is a database of bugs from the reporting system, this is for Forum users to avoid repeating the same issues while also helping us solve them.
Feel free to join #XoloXHelp room on chat and we can help troubleshoot new problems together.

thanks!

For some reason whenever I close Xolox my entire computer restarts. No "nice" shutdown, it just acts as if I pushed the "reset" button on my computer. Then when I boot up it wants me to do a disk check and it finds some files that need to be truncated.

I'm running:

Windows XP - Professional
256MB of DDRRam
Athlon XP 1700+ (1.47ghz)
1x13GB harddrive 7200rpm
1x40gb harddrive 7200rpm

Cable modem 1.5mbps/128kbps

Also, no, I don't have CursorXP.

Try this:
1. - Create a new folder in the same folder you installed XoloX and name it 'temp'. (i.e.: /program files/XoloX/temp).
- To create a new folder within a Windows directory; Right Click > Choose 'New' > 'New Folder' and rename it to 'Temp'.
2. - Now within XoloX go to Tools > Preferences > Downloads Tab. Set the 'save incomplete files to this directory' setting to the new folder you just created.

Still no luck. I know why the files need to be truncated, it's because they were being accessed when the computer shuts off. It's like, I hit the X on xolox, it goes down to the tray, I right click, hit exit, and immediatly after I click exit my screen goes black and starts the bootup procedure.

wow, thats a weird one..
