Cool For all the complaints.......

I've been reading this forum and can't believe some of the post.

These programmers have spent time to supply us a great program free of charge and all (some) of you can do is bash them anyway you can think of? then get off the server!

For my experience, it's been great...

I have a P4 1.8Ghz machine, 512K Ram, Windows XP Pro, DSL Connection (2.3 mbps down 480K up)

I have not had ONE program error, crash or freeze... I have yet to click a file and it not download...

The usually speed I see is between 80 and 230K.

that's nice, but only 512k of ram, that must suck.

but not everyone's experience is peachy and this is the forum for users to discuss issues even if they don't like it. xolox reps come here for user feedback.

sure it can be put in sweeter words, but deal

Well, I don't know about that other guy with 512 megs of Ram, but I also have 512 megs of PC 133 ram and I am having the same problems running under ME as everyone else. At least I can recover in ME!! When I ran it under XP it was even worse and I could not recover and would have to manually reset my machine. I think this is the best p2p program out there as far as finding stuff, but my patience is wearing thin. Please get this problem resolved in the next version!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. I am using MemTurbo to no avail and v1.2 is even worse than v1.1.

For the Love of god!!!!!!

Default ram, ram, and more ram

I know most of the time the more ram you have the better, but in my case I only have 96mb of ram on a 333mhtz pentium II system and xolox runs perfect and only gives me errors when I exit it. Which I could care less about since when I'm closing it anyway I don't care if it crashes. If it crashed while I'm in the process of using it, that would be a bad thing, but it doesn't. The longest I have run it is three days, and of course it gave me an endless amount of errors when I closed it. (Easy to get out of that. Instead of clicking the OK button on the error box over and over and over, just hold down the ENTER key on the keyboard until they're gone.) I'm using WinME of all things and it still downloads at an average of 30kb a sec if the score value is above around 5. Many people on here suggest the use of MemTurbo to make XoloX more stable, but this slows down WinME hard drive access times. (Just run MemTurbo and try to dafrag your hard drive to see.) Anyway, my point is, all you guys with brand spankin new computers seem to have more trouble with this program than I do on my 4 year old POS Presario. Then again, maybe I'm just lucky.

P.S. A phuckin UPDATE to 1.13 is WAAAAAAAAY past due!

heh weird, winme doesn't even have memory manangement and anything over 256mb on that "os" won't even affect the performance.

xp may be a ram hog itself but it atleast manages what ram that's leftover quite well. get win2k
i ditched xp now myself, wanted to play with the retail version, but didn't impress me to keep it.

Cool Solve your problems, then you can XoloX

Things in computing are as simple as in life:

If the neighbour's cat doesn't let you sleep, get rid of it (the cat, not the neighbour), if your PC has only 96 MB of RAM, you can't complain about memory management, can you?.
If your Operative system is crappy (As WinME), don't blame the XoloX programmers.
And if your connection is slow, throw away your 28,800 motorola modem and get DSL....

The moral of the story is:

Solve problems accordingly, don't blame John for what's Peter done!

Default what!?

I'm the guy who posted above and said I had 96mb of RAM on a Pentium II 333. I don't think you got my point. I wasn't complaining. Actually I said:

"I know most of the time the more ram you have the better, but in my case I only have 96mb of ram on a 333mhtz pentium II system and xolox runs perfect and only gives me errors when I exit it. Which I could care less about since when I'm closing it anyway I don't care if it crashes. If it crashed while I'm in the process of using it, that would be a bad thing, but it doesn't."

Additionally, since I started using a program called Rampage, it gives me ZERO problems now. As a matter of fact I am now able to easily download full movies very fast. (Just got thru getting Planet of the Apes 2001. Great movie by the way.) And I havn't found a reason yet for why people think WinME is so crappy. I havn't seen the blue screen of death more than once! In Win98se I saw that phuckin thing twice a day! As for slow connection speeds, I pay 20 bucks a month for a 256k cable connection and I still average 300k a second. (Which is faster than what I'm paying for!) NO complaints here!

Anyway, read more carefully next time.
