not down loading
 
I would like to know why I can;t get anything to download. I have zonealarm installed but disabled

What version are you using? if 1.19 then upgrade to 1.20

EAdude June 25th, 2002 08:55 PM

Why are we forced to update? It's the usual mp3 sharing money making **** this program isn't any different is it...

I was using 1.19 before and it went good... could STOP downloading search results which was good... had more control over what was being downloaded etc, but now with 1.20 someone decided to DOWNGRADE the features.

Not only that has anyone noticed that with 1.20 now your modem lights or broadband network connection lights flash like crazy even when your not even downloading anything. What exactly is Xolox uploading and downloading to your system now? It's definately not a little idle to keep you connected... it's like a full on download occuring... interesting stuff.

This a person to person shareware system. When it is running and you do not have anything downloading yet it is active, it is because it is uploading files which you agreed to share with others. That is what is happening. I checked my comp all the time for unwanted crap that was "dumped" on me and it has never happen from XoloX, unlike what happen when I used other shareware programs that are out there.

how can it be uploading when u have nothing downloaded to shar4e to the uploaders

Ironman June 28th, 2002 10:54 PM

Read the information when you start XoloX and you will find that you have marked a folder that people can upload from. It is not going to be your XoloX folder but a album,video, or photo folder. This what is being used to upload to others. If you have stuff you do not wish to be uploaded then move it. If you do not wish to share file but only take them then you might want to rethink using this program all together. Sharing files is what makes this program work for all. Not being selfish and only taking for yourself.
Please, share your files for others.

also, just because you dont have any files to share doesnt mean people still wont have to check you. all the blinky lights your seeing is just people on the network getting a list of the files (or no list but they have to check to find that out) from you.

I can accept an opposing, can u accept that your program doesn't work

Ironman June 29th, 2002 09:25 AM

That is odd because I an get mine to work on demand. TO say your program is also incorrect. I have nothing to do with with the program other than being a user of it. What I pass on here is from experiance with such programs(lots of experiance). I am just a real big fan of this service. The program does work and works well for myself. I honestly think that the problem most have is the fact that they fail to read the included information or leave the security up to high for programs such as this to work.
