I've seen a bunch of complaints about XoloX chewing up memory/resources. As of this writing I've had it running over 8 hours straight UL'in and DL'in, and my current mem uses (according to Win2k Task Manager) is:

Opera.exe 21,452K (2 hours run time, w/4 pages open)
iexplore.exe 16,564K (30 min run time, w/1 instance open)
Morpheus.exe 10,356K (4 hours run time, 4 DL's, 2 UL's)
xolox.exe 9,796K (8 hours run time, 2 DL's 0 UL's)

And this is on an old wood burning P-III 550 lap top with 256MB running Windows 2000 Pro (SP2).

If I still had Lamewire or Bear Don't Share (Morpheous will soon be regedited from my system as well) they would also be above XoloX on the process tab.

Not having to go behind a "free" P2P program and remove the trojans (read cydoor, newdotnet, and the like) that the anti virus companies seem to ignore when the new definitions come out was really nice (I did go in and check after the install tho'..trust no one).

No chat, no ad windows no need to 127.0.0.1 a bunch of new servers every time I want to use it. All in all not a bad little app, not really up to the hype I read before installing it, but still better than the alternatives.

Yeah, yeah I know "But the ad's pay the bills" the Oct-Nov 2000 nosedive proved that ad's don't work no more.

My rant, like it, love it or don't read it.

P.S. xolox.exe has dropped to 5th place at 5,112K beolw vsmon.exe at 7,320K.


Paranoia is my religion.

Well, it still eats all my ram on a celeron 600, 128mb, win98se. Love the program tho'.

And it takes time off my comp's clock by the time I've woken up every morning. I run a 900mHz P3, 256mb RAM, Windows ME comp and as soon as I run XoloX it begins to slow everything down to about 486 speed, but only for about five minutes at a time, and then it will wait a little while, whilst it does god knows what and then slow down again. It's a great program except for that memory burning...

Reduce your upload speed setting.
I had this problem when it was set to the highest (12) and somewhat when it was set to 11. It seems fine at 10 or lower.
