Zeropaid says maybe. Slyck says don't get your hopes up. I couldn't really care less. What do u reckon?

Any p2p app available is always a welcome addition. Of course if they want to add the scumware and bloat, it isn't. So if they come back and they keep xolox clean, i'll use it again.

xolox was the only gnutella client (hell; any P2P client) i was able to run on win98 24/7 unsupervised with no problem (well; unsupervised but with MemTurbo and an autoreboot every 48 hours - still every other p2p app crashed b4 48 hours; especially BearShare). if it comes back i'll jump to use it.

After the decision to shutdown P2P gnutella client Xolox last week I shot off an email to Team Xolox. Developer Arno Steenbekkers answers some of the questions GN put forth to him...

GN: As we can see by your message within the client the reasons you are discontinuing Xolox can you expand a little on your decision?

Team Xolox: XoloX was build as a platform for new technologies that could provide a valid revenue model. We build this easy interface, high performance file sharing application so we could do testing with viral-distribution and grid-computing. Viral distribution tests have been done with the auto-update feature in XoloX. Viral Distribution is interesting for parties who distribute a lot of files from a couple of selected servers. (updates, virus scanners). Eventually this concept could be made transparent for Huge news sites. The second concept is grid-computing. We wanted to exploit computing power of users in return for their XoloX usage. This way a valid model could rise.
