Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Thumbs down XOLOX-slowest downloads ever!

I feel like I'm using a freaking modem! The fastest I've ever downloaded at is 1.5 k/s! And I have a cable modem! I don't get it! XOLOX claims to be for high speed internet users, so what the hell? Please let me know if it's just me.

Default me too

I'm a AOL user and Xolox is the greatest f*cking sh*t I found, the downloads are slow, I wait for P*rn King movie to complete since 13 month now and it's still at 52%, and it's ****ing buggy it gives me 37 error windows every day, it does complain to me in 5 different foreign languages (stupid non-american programmers must be forbidden, can't they understand that software is an american invention), it is so bad that I sometimes have to buy games or programms instead of downloading, sh*it, it does take me so long to use it that my girlfriend left me and went over to a cooler guy that used Morphus (or some stuff), it does eat all the nachos out of my storage, it does reboot my harddisk twice and was the only app that surrived, I want to tell the programmers that they are a bunch of lamer puss*es because they _forced_ me to use this f*ck. You know what I'm talking about. Xolox does make Coke to Pepsi and then it does put sugar in my toothpaste! check it out man, wtf, what gives???

Default My Opinion, not that it really matters.

First off, i have experienced slow downloads too, but i also think that the download speed is inacruate. I say this because my downloads seem to go faster, although i have never actually clocked it with a stop watch or anything, but the speeds at which i actually download files at seems to be faster than what xolox displays.

One other note. Try not to complain too much, its not like you're actually paying for the files anyway. And i know that you use your high speed internet for other uses like email and possibly messanging.

happy downloading

Red face hmmm...

funny, i don't here any of you people bitchin' about the upload speed. Are you all a bunch of Freeloader's or what? I've gotten 5 movies in my first two days on XoloX. the third day, there was trouble. many segments dropped and one dumped into SAFE DOWNLOAD MODE (whatever that is) but I wonder about the people uploading? Are people getting any of the 29 movies I am currently sharing? On other clients, i share a couple of these at a time, watch them upload the entire thing (Ok- sometimes this takes a while) and go on happy that someone got what i am sharing....I wish i keep track of this somehow.....I will also say that the movies i have gotten have all been excellent quality. maybe this is just luck, though.....

Xolox is a decent gnutella client. I wouldn't go so far as to say it is the best. It does have some pitfalls and bugs that need to be fixed. But for the money it is the best (and only) threaded download application that uses the gnutella protocol. I just that it would add some extra file extensions to the base listing. It needs to have:
.001
.002
.003
.etc
.r01
.r02
etc.
.nfo
.sfv
.cue (it has .bin but no .cue which makes no sense)
.ccd (clone cd image)
.cdi (disk juggler image)
.nrg (nero image)
.m2v (svcd file format extension)
and I'm sure there are many more that I'm missing right now. I would apprecate anyone extending on my list and I will start a thread to the authors possibly getting them added.
