Avoiding Timeouts in WinMX

[selperfuge]

a couple people have asked how they can avoid timeouts especially when they have dozens of files queued. check this out:

Of course, even when you're hooked up to what you think is a good fast primary, his nice hottie girlfriend can still come along and tell him it's time to shut down the pc and come to bed for some tantalizing sex. So they can still bail on you.

Speaking of which... I gotta go now. bye. :-)

in your *wet* dreams....lol

A firewall blocks your ip? lol ...roflmbostc.

a firewall does not block your ip.

Traffic has to be directed somewhere..... a routerl can "slightly" protect your local ip, but it still broadcasts the router address. even so this in itself would not make the information available any less valid.

One could still figure out geographic location, it would be more than adequate for the enemies of p2p to cause you problems with isp. Not that any of us need to encourage this type of information, but Dont kid yourself into thinking your ip is protected.

Only adequate way to protect ip is through proxies. or spoofing, but then again this is a primarily m$ crowd.

But the page was only intened for secondary users trying to improve their luck with winmx. It was never intended for primaries bc it would have no bearing on the way they connect to network.

Vladd44 is correct; firewalls do not block IPs and if you are feeling nice and comfortable behind your firewall, a word of caution every commercial firewall can be neutralised and bypassed very quickly and most cases simply. MS has the tendency to leave doors unlocked and even though firewalls close most of them they do not close all of them. As for hiding your IP it is difficult on P2P and no commercial software is available although there are people considering writing such software. Generally proxies work on HTTP, HTTPS and FTP and will not hide your IP on a direct connection, not impossible to do but out of reach for most. If you go that route there are issues with proxies that need to be considered, although many of them claim to be anonymous and do not directly reveal your IP they can indirectly reveal it, out of approximate 6000 proxies tested I found only 180 that were truly anonymous. The other issue is that you can be traced and monitored even using a proxy, your ISP or anyone else for that matter can look at the data stream. Anonymity is a direct function of connection time, specific hardware and the amount of funding available to whoever is monitoring. Proxy chains and SSL connections can drastically lengthen your anonymity time and make someone looking for your identity really earn their pay but time is not on your side and eventually your identity can be traced. I want set the record straight and dispel the notion that many people have that they can hide their identity on the net and ensure everyone understands that they can eventually be traced. Welcome to the electronic age.

I got to get me one of those. Oh, and you didn't read this and I was never here.

Thanks for the advice I will have acquire on of those, you have no idea how much time you have saved me by not having look for anonymous proxies anymore. Why did I not think of that it is so simple?

You'll be totally anonymous. Really.


Good one. Gotta love those high tech solutions, lol.
