The next version of Xolox should include an option to register it for a fee and have the ads removed. Like Opera. That way those who hate that ads can have them removed.

The amount of money generated by click through's per user is probably only a fraction of amount that people would pay for an ad free copy.

This also would be better for distribution since the ads are starting to make people reconsider its use verses other gnutella clients that don't use ads.

I personally like the application, but I use it on an unmanned machine that I only check every few days. When I check on the application it has usually crashed do to an excessive amount of ads. In my case the ads are meaningless since I am not there to view them and I would be willing to pay to not have to close 20+ popups and restart the application every few days.
