xolox does not seem to be able to support the claims users are making on it, either, judging from all the disgruntled posts 8D i hope the fabled 'xolox team' is working on a version 2.0. perhaps the xolox 'matrix' cannot handle all the automation implicit in the simplification. i dunno... just a guess.

Much more obvious would of course be that people who are happy with the program are much less likely to post here...

Yep!

No problems, no posts...

Morgwen

and that invalidates the posts of those who do have problems? you must be a republican 8>

I have had many problems with the program as well everclear, but through fixes that i have either discovered on my own, or learned by other people's posts, my xolox is running fine the majority of the time.

I would also like to add that I love this program and I understand that it is still very young, but considering what else is out on the market, I'm not complaining. And by the way, its all free, so i dont really think that you have anything major to complain about.

Not necessarily, but quite likely. If you take a close look at the common complaints, you might notice that about 50 percent are of the kind "The problem can be resolved by replacing the user".

Another 30 percent can be grouped in the "does not have the least clue about how the gnutella network works or would be better of if he only would RTFM (respectively RTFW (read the friendly webboard))" category.

Another 10 percent can be wrote of as the common "U use other program than me. Me using most perfectest program. U must be stupid. Me most rulez!" troll.

And the last 10 percent are real decent existing problems that will hopefully be solved in future releases.

one may hope so. essentially, what i'm hearing is: "if it needs fixed it'll get fixed so shut up already - can't you see that this is a fan-club, not a support forum?" don't bother replying, i'm gone, but i bear you no ill will. good luck! 8)

I'll answer anyway for others who might read this - one never knows. What you are hearing might not quite be what I was saying. There are existing problems and, as far as possible, I like to help people overcome this problems. I know that Moak and Seeker and Morgwen and many other people do the same...

But when request come in like "I do not download something, yet Xolox connects to four people already - IT IS SPYING ON ME!" it is a clear indication that the person in question has not the least bit knowledge how gnutella clients work. And also, that he is unwilling to get familiar even a little bit before yapping around.

When someone asks why Xolox will go up to 99 percent and then drop back to 60, the question would be easily answered if only they had looked. It has been answered here again and again and again. And again. And again... a clear indication that "asking and ranting is easier than trying to understand."

Don't hold it against me - but as I become older I become less willing to waste time on people unwilling to understand. Note that I'm not stating "unable to understand". I don't believe that's the case. I rather think of them as the fastfood-generation of the internet: order your question, yell if someone tells you that you could easily have found it out yourself. Make an *** of yourself, get plonked, live in eternal solitude... ah well, the ways of the young ones...

amen sorcy!!

...Since Al Gore invented the internet????
