My god there are multiple flavours to pick from, what you have to do is try a few different ones, and pick the one, or 2 that you like best.

That is hard to answer, as everyone has 1 or 2 prefferences. It depends on what you like, and im sure you will get many different recommendations. Ares has a simple GUI, and makes a nice start.

thx, you're way cool, but do you know anything about KaZaa Lite, that seems to have way more downloads than ares, or lime-something....

Way more fakes, shitty hashing helping you get and spread the fakes. Its a snake pit of fakes and viruses.

Yes, Kazaa lite has way more downloads and way more fakes. For music try Ares. I've recently tried it and it works ok for those single songs I want. Otherwise I use Gnucleus for songs I can't get elsewhere.

Please stop creating winmx threads. The whole forum is a damn winmx discussion. Please start merging and deleting mods.

The mods can handle that later, as the flood has slowed, and we can concentrate on making a single help thread to help the displaced. If someone wants to make a good how to, Im sure a mod will clean it up and pin it.

Sorry if I did something annoying by making a thread, it wasn't intentional, just new to Zeropaid, or anything like this.....breath easy, I'm done talking about winmx, I have Gnucleus on the brain now

Ok gather around the pc, and I will tell you of a time when all my friends were getting 20 or 30 songs a night, and I was getting a gig or better not using anything other than regular WinMX. It fucking rocked. i didnt mind the GUI, it just kept smoking in the movies, and tunes. To me it has been dead for a while, but the legend lived on. Was it programming that sounded the death knell, or the RIAA making people scared to share? Who knows the truth? what i do know is that its dumb to put all of your filesharing apples in just one basket. Have many baskets, so when one fails you can keep the crop coming in.

All I know is I want something like it that is a little bit more refined and updated, not looking great so far

I am hating all of these things, Ares isn't getting me anywhere, and neither is Gnucleus, someone needs to give up a better idea..........and for the guy who hated WinMX, what are you using that's soooooooooooo great?!

No ones gonna wave a magic wand for you, youre going to have to READ our forums, and check out the sites and forums from the clients.
It's up to you to keep your PC maintained, organized and to learn how to use the new apps, configure your firewall, etc etc
We simply can not spoon feed every new person here that needs to "find themself" due to WinMX going away.
Try things for a week, research them, see how it goes, post back next week.

KRELL......I won't steal your homework, don't worry, and trust me, I do research, part of researching, is talking to different people and seeing what's up and taking it from there....but, if you don't want to help people, and I know I'm not the only one, than guess what....you don't have to read the threads or spoonfeed any responses....Not that I'm trying to give you a hard time, but really.... my P2P choice is not a "defining" moment in my life.... just ranting cuz I want my tunes back....BREATH EASY
btw if P2P is sharing music, wouldn't u want to spread what you're using so u have more options as well? Just asking, maybe I just really don't get this whole idea

Perhaps without WinMX we will all have to start BUYING cds, games and dvds... No more easily-obtained, instantly-verified ISOs, mp3s and .AVIs...
I think we all have to see that the RIAA and the MPAA have won... Piracy has been stopped... back to our lives c. 1997. I am off to be anally raped by Sam Goody by paying $18.99 for a remix collection of some shitty top-40.
