XoloX - The good, the bad, and the missing
 

Good
It's small, stable, and user-friendly. The only problem I had on startup had a fix (which indeed fix the problem) that was clearly explained on the welcome screen.

Bad
My only complaint is that clicking the little "x" and then choosing "Close" to kill search windows is a pain. Make it so the "x" closes the window (just like hitting "x" on a Windows window would do). Perhaps add a toggleable prompt ("Close this search? Y/N").

Missing

1. MP3 birates - It'd be nice to be able to see the bitrate of an MP3 file before downloading it. Additional functionality (lacking in most other P2P clients) along these lines could include an indicator for VBR (as opposed to CBR) MP3s and their approx. birates.
2. File types - Would be nice to see a more advanced type of Media search selection. Maybe the dropdown box could include a (customizable) list of common file extensions along with (in parentheses) the names currently used. For example: *.mp3 (MP3), *.ra (Real Audio), *.zip (Zip Archive) *.rar (RAR Archive), etc...
3. Advanced mode - One of the stated goals of XolloX is ease of use, and that makes it great, because it is very well done without being too simple. However, it'd be nice to see some more advanced options (as long as it doesn't add too much to the program's size, I like having it able to fit on a floppy) such as server connect configuration, advanced search parameters (see 2), etc. "Simple mode" should be exactly the way XolloX is today, but there should be a toggleable "Advanced mode" with some more technical options for more experienced users.

re #2
 

1 and 3 have been requested, 1 has been denied , and 3 was being 'looked into' last I heard.

As for #2... the drop down box for file type is already an edit box too (why? for the followign design option?)... how about making it so XoloX filters out all files who's extension doesn't match what's in the box. (if what's in the box isn't on the drop down list.)

Also, in any advanced user mode settings... let us add/remove extentions to catagories. Like I could add .divx to the 'video' list if I wanted, or take out .ram if I think the quality sucks and I don't want them showing up in search results.

"1 has been denied"
 

Hmm, I don't think MP3 bitrates have been denied. Probaply Pasman can say more about this?

Oops
 

You're right Moak. What I meant to say was... the "bad" has been denied, and 1 has severe incompatability problems atm, Even without trying to generate their own bitrate info, they should at least be able to display/discard the metadata other clients are giving out.
