Angry a little bit disappointed about Xolox users

I'm using Xolox since 3 days. 10 trys per day average and 1/2 hit over all. This is poor!
My dear Partners closed their programs in the middle of my download. I thought this is called "File sharing"
Lets get back to Bearshare!

funny people, so you think Bearshare is different... hehe, find out what is the meaning of the word "gnutella", funny people. When you kick a brother next time , make sure he's not married with your sister... hm, that means you... whatever, forget it.

As I've said before, you could get a bigger user base if you would submit XoloX to http://download.cnet.com/ , otherwise known as download.com, all you have to do is scroll to near the bottom of the screen and click 'Submit a file'. You must of course be the program developer to do this. Unless you don't think your application is ready for more users, I highly suggest you submit it to all the servers you can think of. It's FREE and most of them step you thru the process with little pain.

Another one is hotfiles.com

I thik XoloX is still in it's beta phase... they have some issues to resolve, a help file to make, and stability to prove before throwing it at a few thousand more users.

Default I agree but....

I understand XoloX is in Beta (Even though it doesn't say so.) but I still feel that if, say, 5 - 10k more people were to start using this program it would help spread the word, get the program running on a ****load of other computers, and help track down any problems that need fixing. This is why you release beta software. Even Microsoft does this with their software, and ALL of it sucks. Well, I have to say that WinXP seems very stable as of now. Anyway, as long as they put the word 'Beta' next to the name, most people will understand if it's got some problems, but at least it would get more people interested in the software. (As we are.)

Besides, I know that XoloX is ready for at least WinXP as I have had zero problems using it for days at a time. The only exception is when I first installed it I had to get a new hostslist.txt file to get it connected, but that was IT. I think if they fix that issue in 1.13 it will be ready enough.

"Even Microsoft does this with their software, and ALL of it sucks. Well, I have to say that WinXP seems very stable as of now. "

why are you using it then? there is Solaris 8 (Free), Linux (Free)
FreeBSD (free). Why would you choose to pay $200 for an OS that Sux? Oh I forgot, you probably stole it...

Not all MS products suck. people just say that because it is the done thing.

I take each program on its own merit, as they are developed by different programmers anyway.

Imagine if you were the programmers of Xolox. You have a list of 10 things (conservative) you want to implement. You also have a list of bugs to fix. Do you really think that they could handle a flood of bugs, flames, etc?

BTW.. they arent even charging you for this product.

Xolox is a great app. Nice and simple. I commend the programmers, testers, responsible users and others involved in this.

Actually, I didn't steal WinXP, it was installed on my computer when I got it. As for linux and the other free operating systems, they aren't any better even if they are free. You know it IS possible to think that a program sucks and still use it! I hate my POS car too, but I sure as hell am NOT going to walk everywhere just cause I hate my car.
