I've connected to 5 primary connections. people are trying to download from me but it just times out. and i can't search for anything, nothing will come up. I've tried changing port #'s but no difference. kazaa is working on the same ports. I havn't changed anything it worked last time i used it.

Yea, primary connections max out your bandwidth, its only suggest if you have T1 or better, DSL or Cable - it will kill the connection.

Yeah brian, thats 5 people riding on your connection, Bad for you and most likely bad for them as well. Secondary seems like your best bet

And remeber, whenMX pretty much requires you to know your up load bandwidth, so that you may throttle your upload B/W, saving about 1.5k for yourself. Otherwise whenMX will give 100% of your B/W to your uploaders, leaving you with none left to search the network and just getting poor performance period.

WinMX is good for chat, finding people with like interests. Poor for file transfer. If you like someone on WinMX, invite them to another filesharing program that is much better.
