This is a good little program except for one HUGE floor on my system It often takes up 99% of the CPU's processing power. his is on a 1Gz Athlon with over 650MB of RAM.

It used to be that I'd start Xolox and it would be a huge CPU hog, I'd end the program from task manager and restart and it would be OK after that. Now I have installed windows 2000 from fresh with hardly any applications and it's always using 99% of the CPU power, brings all other applications to a halt and makes the PC unusable.

What going on here?

Im on a P667 with W2000 Professional and I get the same 100% CPU Utilization..Seems to be affecting the MSTASK.exe. I uninstalled Xolox and then it was still!! 100% and it was affecting services.exe. Nice memory leak or something like that. hmmm

Yeah exactly the same thing with mine, even if you end task the program you realise your system is still dead slow - then you check to see what programs are still running by doing CTRL-ALT-DEL and there it is still running at 99%

I've tried LimeWire now, Bear Share, and a few other program and have to say Xolox is the one I like the most it's simple and it resumes links well - It's only this one 99% CPU Utilization problem that dogs me and makes it virtually unusable.

Same problem with me on Win XP Pro. 99% CPU utilization continually. It will lock up and have to be closed only by the end process function after several hours. It still seems to be downloading fine but accessing the screen is impossible once it locks up. I have fiddled with lowering the priority of the process after the program is started and that seems to let the other programs on the system run better but it still locks up after a while. And when I say locks up I mean Xolox not XP. The Task Manager is always able to successfully end the process. I love the NT Kernal.

Oh also, I am running an Athlon 1GHz with 768MB RAM.

I am finding the same problem... although my PC is somewhat older! But still, Limewire and others run fine on this PC, so why not Xolox? This issue needs resolving, as Xolox performs really well on the occasions when it is not locking up my PC.

This Freaken sucks..............Xolox takes all my resources away...........I cant run ****...........its really ****sing me off!!! Hope they can FIx this pronto!!!!!
