I've used WinMX for a few years but not been on in a few months. I haven't been able to log on lately but thought it had to do with changing ISP and settings related to that. Now it looks like WinMx is gone. Bill Gates work his magic or what? What are my alternatives now? Kaaza was a shit show I thought. Limewire was similar last I was on. Are they even still there or are there better options now? Thanks for any help.
What!!!! you download music illegally!!!!! :eek:
But seriously, they are all getting shut down now, haven't heard of a good one for awhile. I've been stuffing apples pockets instead!
a couple weeks ago i noticed i couldn't connect anymore and did some googling. came up with this and was able to get back on WinMx right away but haven't had much time to play around with it.
try this -

From a google search:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winmx
"On September 13, 2005, Frontcode Technologies received a cease and desist letter from the RIAA asking them to implement filters to make it impossible for users to download copyrighted material from WinMX, or shut down. Under the threat of litigation, on September 21, 2005 the network and the WinMX homepage were confirmed offline.
It is suggested for WinMX users to either apply a patch which would connect them to a user-driven WinMX network, or move on to a decentralized file sharing network such as Gnutella or the EDonkey network."
soulseek.
stop using that other crap.
I'll have to look into soulseek. I've been using shareaza, which has worked for me thus far -- client for Gnutella 1 and 2 as well as Edonkey.
Newsgroups are your friend. No sharing, just downloading. Fast as shit. Google it and check it out...
Thanks for the help. Downloaded the patch and running pretty good again. Only thing is users seem able to upload from me but I have yet to successfully download something. Any tips again would be appreciated.
Alot of providers limit how much you can download, comcast does this now, I used to download tons of stuff a night, but alas, they have gimped us.Quote:
