File sharing program Xolox returns

April 16, 2002

At the end of last year we reported that filesharing program Xolox quitted their business because they feared the legal department of the music industry.

Team Xolox turned off all the running versions of the program before closing shop, but users were able to keep the final version of Xolox alive with the creation of a patch. Still the program was no longer being updated and improved. It was no longer innovating.

But now after the declaration of the court last month (saying that KaZaa isn't responsible for its users actions) team Xolox confirmed today that they will revive the program.

Zeropaid has been very helpful in promoting XoloX, it is therefore that we want to keep you updated on the rumors of a possible re-launch. There are indeed plans for a restart of XoloX. In what form and at what term we will be able to reveal soon. We will keep you posted of updates as they develop. We will also contact you to see if we can provide some promotion for zeropaid as our way of thanking you for the support you showed us while we were gone. We plan on getting a beta out of the new update to many of the Zeropaid participants before distributing the "release" version.

Of course this is good news. Xolox was a really cool program without spyware and very simple to use. It was also the first to allow simultaneous searches of multiple files.
