Browzer

I LOVE THE BROWZER FEATURE, BUT WOULD LIKE SOME ADDED FEATURES. HOW ABOUT A BACK BUTTON AND EVEN A TOOLBAR FOR FAVORITEZ!? THIS WOULD LET ME SURF EVERYTHING OVER FIBER OPTICS! WHAT DO YOU THINK!

Umm yeah its a great idea and something thats already been tested and implemented before. This is not top secret or anything since a lot of user feedback requests it, I agree with you it would be nicer for navigation.
We see together if future versions add the browser functions
thanks

Thanks for the reply. I forgot about the Alt Arrow keys you could use to direct your navigation. This is not a bad way to navigate and I do like the philosophy of XOLOX to keep things simple.! Some people say they want more features, (I love messing with things and have taught myself everything I know about computers and software, built many computers while learning cold fusion and so forth) but I like the fact that XOLOX runs good without one having to tinker with it and causing a situation were others are not able to download from them!

I don't mean to start a rant here.

Vinnie seems to have something out for XOLOX? I used Bearshare for a long time, started using it not to long after it first came out. In my opinion it was the best thing to happen to Gnutella at that time, I was able to get large files within a good timeframe. Then it started using spyware, or I became aware of it. This did not bother me too much because I just ran adaware and I was happy when we were finally able to opt out of it! The real problem I have with Bearshare is that many people configure it so others are not able to download from them. So you can find a lot with the search, but what good is it when over half the material you cannot connect to!!

So I came across XOLOX that provided more features! What I mean is that the features they did provide allowed me to download one file from many and be able to pick up were I left of after rebooting my computer. At the same time many others started using XOLOX and I was able to get the files I wanted because those on XOLOX did not block people from their files!!

So I would rather have a program that did what it was meant to do well, than a program that offered more features (couf, couf) without the reward. I am reminded of a friend that is always messing with their OS, hardware, and programs only to screw things up and most often blame a virus! What happens next is a call with a complaint about the OS, hardware, and most of the times a virus. It never occurs to them they have caused their own problems. So I have to listen to their ignorance, which is very amusing because they wont follow clear advise, and at the same time they are leaching off me (others) causing a wave of misleading information leading to a jam of communication.

I just want to get the files I need (want). So, what I need is a gnutella client that provides the most features that allow me to get what I need in the best timeframe and not a client that offered features that make me feel powerful, but allows all to share their files in a timely and smooth manner. A client that can do this is what I call feature packed! Know of one (couf, couf)!

direct connect doesnt have anything to do w/ gnutella , but its a good peer to peer file sharing network nontheless. In order to get what you want, you need to share files and a lot of them to get into any of the good hubs which automatically takes care of file availability dilemas. In addition, in order to join some of the real good hubs, you have to be voted in , and share atleast say 15 gigs or more. You can resume partial files, chat, and start your own hub which is one of the neatest features of direct connect. Also, you have the ability to save files directly to a zip drive.

xolox's 1st BETA
is bar far the best peer to peer file sharing client out there. Compared to direct connect, winmx, kazza and so on, xolox has the best speed, compatibility, stability, interface, and people who actually share their files.

No worries !

i do love xolox ! but when some1 asks if there are any other good peer to peer networks out there.... why not give them some possibly helpfull information?? in comparisin, xolox is better than direct connect for a few reasons: 1. direct connect likes to crash 2. direct connect lacks the sheer volume of users xolox already has

im not trying to advertise dc or anything, gamer, just trying to assist others in their trials and trivulations thank you

Direct connecting has everything to do with the Gnutella Network. It IS the Gnutella Network. Each of us is directly connected during any file transfer.
This is different from what I believe you are imagining when you connect to a so-called HOST or 3 or 3 or more.
We are all hosts, there are no servers, we are ALL servers and this is one of the biggest reasons why Gnutella Network should be able to survive. Will surv¡ve!

Hi cHEssHire

I realize that it is a program..... I was only trying to avoid confusion for others who could read the post and be easily confused by it. If you read your opening sentence from just a slightly different 'angle', you will see what I mean.

Sorry if you took any offense. Certainly none was intended.
