Help with WinMx

[MistahMan]

Ok, I don't want to be one of those people who says that this new version of WinMx sucks, simply cause I don't yet understand how it works. I don't know that it sucks. I do know that I haven't gotten the hang of using it yet. Maybe someone here can helpme out. I have 2 questions.

1) What is this new tree like list that comes out of a search I make? Like a sub group of files under the main one. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do to download just one of those files and not 5 of the same.

2) I'm on dial up. WinMx 2.6 was fine for that. However with this new one, I get download for song I use to get in about 15 minutes that can take as long as an hour. Are there settings I need to tweak specifically for dial use?

Thanks to anyone who can answer me.

The "tree-like" that comes out of your search results are the multiple files that it produces. These show you how many users have the exact same duplicate file that you've searched for known as "multi-source" downloads. The more duplicate files it produces, the better chance of getting a faster download. You only need to click one as it will try to download from all of these users at the same time. As for dial-up, I really don't know much on how to tweek the settings for users on dial-up as I'm on cable.

Thanks for the answers. That's what I thought it was. In theory that might work, downloading from several people at once, however, it seems to be slowing things down for me more than anything else.

And if the interface were less cluttered that would also be an improvement.

One last thing, why do files get saved as incomplete files if they never even started downloading before being determined as being either busy or offline? No download actually went on for the file to be an incomplete, which forces me to often go into the folder and manually delete these "incomplete" files. Odd.
