Default XoloX Upgrades 1.3 & 1.3.1

The past week has brought not one but two upgrades to one of Gnutellas' favorite clients. The Dutch have been busy.
From the site:

New Version Features~

Version: 1.31
Date of Release: October 7th, 2002

• Version 1.31 corrects the corrupt install file that prevented users from installing or operating XoloX Ultra 1.3 released on Oct 4 2002. (see below)

Version: 1.3
Date of Release: October 4th, 2002

Ultraleaf Support:

• More effecient and better search results with Ultraleaf connect.
• Optional settings to give user more control over XoloX
• GWebCache support added.
• Now XoloX stores only recently connected hosts to hostlist, which reduces connection timeout.
• Number of connected hosts shown at startup; "Network OK" shown as soon as sufficient connections established.

System management:

• Preferences and Network settings UI improved.
• Webcache/blacklist one-click quick import.
• Added multiple selection in "transfers" window.
• Min/max connections now are set up automatically when using only simple mode preferences.
• Manually set amount of connections in advanced settings.
• File/Exit option added.

Security:

• Allow XoloX to launch your virus scanner to check every downloaded file.
• McAfee built in.
• User configurable IP Blacklist Added.
• Better support behind a software firewall.

Improved Stability:

• Various EconvertError bugs fixed.
• Some causes of crashing with wME fixed.
• Resolved the problem with no hostlist.txt present.
• Improved Stability with significant decreases in overall resources (bandwidth, cpu, open sockets, etc).

Installs over previous versions and can complete old partial downloads. I'm using it right now.
