On August 4, QQ Cyclone, which has operated for 9 years, released a "QQ Cyclone Offline Announcement" on its official website, which mentioned that,
"Due to the adjustment of business development, 'QQ Cyclone' will stop operation on September 6, 2017."

The first generation classic download tool was retired after 9 years of operation, but this is not the first product that Tencent gave up recently. In March this year, Tencent's short video sharing community Microvision announced that it would shut down the service on April 10, and suggested that users log on to the official website of Microvision and enter their personal pages to download and save videos.

In July, another Tencent product, Youren, also announced that it would stop operating. Tencent said, "Due to the business adjustment, Friend. com will stop its service and operation on August 6, 2017. It is recommended to download and backup your photos, message boards and other important information on Friend. com as soon as possible."

How long can Xunlei laugh?

After QQ Cyclone Cloud Broadcast stopped its service, only Xunlei still provides cloud broadcast function. This stop of QQ Cyclone means that there is only Xunlei in this field.

In those days, Tencent launched QQ Cyclone in order to curb the products of its competitor Xunlei. It won the favor of many users by virtue of its fast download speed, less resource occupation, clean and simple interface, etc. Take the offline download service launched by Xunlei. Xunlei users must be members and pay an additional 10 yuan per month to enjoy the service. QQ Whirlwind saw the popularity of Xunlei's business and launched the offline download function a few months later. Unlike Xunlei, QQ members can enjoy this privilege. Even if they are not QQ members, the price of Whirlwind has certain advantages over Xunlei, which makes many Xunlei users turn to Tencent's QQ Whirlwind.

Now, QQ Whirlwind has announced that it is going to stop its operations. It seems that the day when Xunlei, an old rival, will unify the Jianghu has finally come. However, with the development of technology, Xunlei's position in the Jianghu is not as stable as expected. Under the influence of the rapid development of Internet technology, professional download tools are gradually replaced by browsers and software developers' exclusive downloaders. Today, when the mobile Internet gradually occupies the leading position, Xunlei's share in the download market is gradually being eroded.
