Searching, busy 0, buffer 0?
 

just a question, but whenever i search for a file and find it.
I go to download it, and everything is fine.. but in that same second, I just see that message in the download status?

is it me, or is that a bug?
just seems odd that if i found an answer to my query/search, i can't download it that same second.

any thoughts or suggestions please,
thx

There are various reasons why a download won't begin automatically. Clients may be busy initially and additional clients may be found at a later time when you start the download and XoloX will continue to search for more sources and eventually get that file for you when available.
If you are both behind a firewall then that would also be another reason why.

Try downloading files with the HIGHEST Score rating which is the # of people with the identical file to increase your success rate.

If this didn't answer your question be a slight bit more clear and we will try to help. #XoloX and #XoloXhelp in Chat are also great places to seek answers to such questions.

nope that answered my question just right..

i'm not behind a firewall, but a router. I have it configured correctly because i can send and recieve through various other clients. So that isn't the problem.

but what u mention makes a lot of sense.. just wanted to know for sure or not if i was going crazy..
thx :)

The router acts as a firewall so that would explain it. Perhaps future versions will allow you to force the default port to whatever you wish.
For now you can set your router to allow incoming on port 6346 and map it ( forward it) to the computer you are using.
Although it will work with no configuration at all in your router ( depends on your set up) , by allowing that incoming port it will increase success rate.


If you need any help configuring your router, feel free to ask.
( if linksys log into admin panel > advanced options > forwarding )

Could someone explain the exact process for setting up a Linksys router and Xolox?

I also have the Searching, busy 0, buffer 0 problem.

Thanks

Whats the model of the router, port forwarding is slightly different on older models than new.

Linksys - More
 

Linksys 4 Port Router - BEFSR41 is the product number.

Thanks.
