That's just the way it is....

One file I just recently got 600meg zip took over week to get, the first night I started it the next morning I had about 30%, I was very impaitent so i deleted it and started over only to stop again at 30%. Did that a couple times then just said the hell with it and left there, about a week later woke up one morning and it was done! Yippi :)

Checked it out, wasn't what I was looking for so I deleted it again. ;)

Life's a bitch

I should mention that there was about 2 GIGs of files I did get :D

I really don't understand everyone's problem with download speeds. I just downloaded about 400 megs in a little under 30 minutes this morning. Faster than I could ever had accomplished through Morpheus.

I have had Xolox for over a week now, and not one download not big or small has downloaded fast at all, you are probably one of the lucky ones to find someone with hi bandwidth. I think almost every other user here has a phoneconnection, when the program as strictly made for hi broadband user. I think Xolox should kick out all 56k users and under. Its not worth downloadinga 700 meg file for a whole week only to find out that the file wasnt exactly what you wanted. That really ****es me of.

agreed
 
56k is really slow and it IS very upsetting to wait so long and have it not be the file you wanted. But we need the numbers, so kicking out all 56kers would be a big mistake.

At least people that share should make an effort to name their files with more details like I do. (file name - version - demo - freeware - retail - with code - with keygen - size that it should be in bytes for very large files to ensure that they are not downloading a broken file - etc.) for movie files you should include full title - whether it's complete or part of a larger file - size that it should be in bytes for same reason above - season number/episode number - encoding method - quality - etc.) Many people do this now, but not as many I'd like. So till more people do this, only download if you're fairly certain that what you're getting seems to be what you are after.

As for those people that rename porn videos to popular stuff like The Matrix, STOP PHUCKING DOING THAT!!!

I agree that the download speeds are in general pretty slow, but on the other hand, if you do have a broadband conection getting 10-15 diiferent file downloading (well at least queing) and leaving it for a day seems to be very successful.
Also ive not found very few of the things ive looked for, even the more remote titles. Apart from IRC i condsider this the client that ive been praying for, and just think, it is only likely to get better!
