the definitive: kazaa vs. winmx

[isus]

a few rules:

do not argue about which is best.
post which you voted for (and not much else).
if you use something else, make another poll.

i want this to stay friendly, no arguing like in the other threads.

[Theinfamousone]

For software, cracks, and hacks, TV shows, and popular items (movies and music), there is nothing faster than Kazaa. End of story.

For everything else there is BCDC++.

For all of you shouting "viruses", yes there is an occasional virus if you are a complete moron and download a video with a single source that is called "britney spears.vbs" and is 496KB. Actually nowadays there is so much antivirus filters built into Kazaa that they don't come that way anymore.

You can download pretty much any R rated and most PG-13 movie that came out in the last 5 years at 150KB/s or faster.

And I have downloaded more complete series of sci fi TV shows in a matter of days then you can shake a stick at.

Just try to get every episode of any TV show on Winmx or even DC, you'll be waiting a long long long time.

(I said this in the other Kazaa thread. But I like it so much I thought I would use it here too.)

[Psilaxs]

KaZaA ++ ALL THE WAY

No 16 day long queues

[chipperrox]

i just got sick of waiting in line on winmx

[Wolfie]

I used to use winmx more but since it became queue city I am using kazaa more these days.

[Galileo]

there is an occasional virus if you are a complete moron...
(I said this in the other Kazaa thread. But I like it so much I thought I would use it here too.)

Just the data. CLICK to see the worms and viruses that currently contain code to infect KaZaA and its users (including some specifically for KazaaLITE users. Note: These are Not all the viruses that infect Kazaa, these are *just* the ones that *specifically* infect KazaaLITe and Kazaa and its users.):

KAZAA: ==> http://sophos.com/search/index.cgi?...ish&terms=kazaa

Compare to Winmx: ==> http://sophos.com/search/index.cgi?...ish&terms=winmx

Compare to gnutella: ==> http://sophos.com/search/index.cgi?...&terms=gnutella

Compare to IRC: ==> http://sophos.com/search/index.cgi?...glish&terms=irc


The number infecting KazaaLITE/Kazaa is upwards of 40 now:

Example: "W32/Hantaner-A is a worm and virus which prepends itself to files found in the download folders of KaZaA and Internet Explorer. By infecting files in the KaZaA download folder W32/Hantaner-A may spread through peer-to-peer file sharing networks. "

FT just because of winmx's queues.

I guess that whole no argument thing went down the drain. Big suprise.....:mellow

[bobhss]

Kazaa Lite ++ finds me everything I look for. I checked out WinMX once, looked at it it's interface and determined it wasn't for me.

[Siskabush]

I loved WinMX's incredible speed, and vast search results.

But then came the loooooooooooooong queues, and kinda turned me away from the network for now.

The new WinMX is supposed to kill that autoenterqueue for more sources makin the queues shorter.

But until then, I am K++ all the way (with soulseek as backup for rare techno)

Using those 2 proggys, i can find anything.

[endersgame21]

Like Theinfamousone said, it is real easy to stay away from viruses. Just look at what has the most sources and seems to be the right size. If you are looking for The Lord of the Rings, don't download the one that has only 1user and is only 264 Kb. Download the one that is 713,000 Kb and has 30 users or whatever.

[Galileo]

Yes, the large one that has 713,000Kb is the virus. Since viruses can be any size, as you know.

And since viruses replicate and spread, it will have lots of users.

[endersgame21]

Good job Galileo. I am glad to see that someone at ZP is learning. You deserve a gold star.

[Mel_Smiley]

For over 1000 full length porn movies winmx gets my vote!

lol !i said winmx... i've never had too bad a problem with queues myself really and i'd wait for quality songs unlike FT. that and Rarer tracks(ty former AG users!)

[isus]

ok, lemme edit that rule:
i'm not arguing to any kazaa users why it sucks.

i know i can get what i want faster, and that is what is important to me. some people dont like winmx bc of the queues... they just dont understand how to get around them. not my problem, do what you gotta do.

at least we are all sharing. i hope. unless you are a leech.

[r_xq]

Galileo, for you to bore the arse off us again by telling us that Kazaa is overloaded with virii is just plain wrong.

"there is an occasional virus if you are a complete moron" is pretty close to the mark. and maybe its a good thing that these idiots download a virus if it means it finally convinces them to get around to installing decent anti-virus software and a firewall

[wingnut2600]

Kazaa++ is pretty good.

I have used WinMx quite a bit, but since Kazaa rid themselves of the bitrate limit there are actually many good music files available on FT. There are just so many people on it that it is somewhat easy to find the music that i am searching for (but still not that easy).

Downsides... you aren't always getting what you ask for, but (if you look at how many people have something, what the extended info is and how rare it is) you are almost always going to be able to find what you are looking for. Plus, you can just get sig2dat info if you are worried about viruses.

There is no chat on Kazaa and most of the viable options do not have a well implemented chat prog, whcih is good for being turned on to new stuff.

WinMx is good, but I am on a modem and do not have the patience to wait in a queue.

I guess that I am not bothered by viruses and fakes since I mostly just DL music... (I am always frightened by the amount of shit out there that should not be .exe yet is)

[Galileo]

Read it and weep, buddy.

And by the way, a music file with extension ending in .mp3 can also infect you. Not just .exe or .vbs.


(Now we'll see who knows their stuff, and who doesn't and says you can't get infected by an mp3. lol.)

[r_xq]

Galileo, with your obvious excess of testosterone and machismo you would be better of taking up a sport rather than using Zeropaid as your outlet.

got 3000 mp3s on my system, no sign of any virus. guess im the lucky one

[Psilaxs]

You cant get infected, the MP3 itself cannot infect your computer, HOWEVER, there was a problem awhile back with winamp and i think WMP which allowed a script to be run in the ID3 tag that would launch users to a specific website and instal a trojan, and that only happend to the people who did not have their active X set at a safe level, (Also download on demand in I.E is another thing to make sure you have set right)

And that problem is long since gone

An MP3 itself cannot infect you because the computer does not execute the code, it merely reads it, and sends out an audio signal.

The MP3 doesnt give the computer any instructions either, the software that decompresses the MP3 gives the computer all the data it needs to use the files.

[matstao]

Winmx is a better program. Kazaa has more users.

[Theinfamousone]

Originally posted by matstao

I think we can all agree with that. Although they both definately have room for improvement, Kazaa isn't even trying. Hopefully PFT will end that problem.

Last night I downloaded every single episode of Spiderman The Animated Series from Kazaa. Saved me $40 from buying them on eBay. Good luck doing that on Winmx.

Had Kazaa since it was born. When there was about 100 users. Since, I have not got a single virus. I dont even have a virus scanner. Just scan for viruses sumtimes every couple months or year, not a single virus.

**blah blah blah. edited to save you time**

SEE a PATTERN........

Notes to take: when downloadin

- download files with many sources
- small kb to 1mb files are usually viruses or sum bs
- if it sounds to good to be tru (j-lohomevid.exe) (superhacker.scr), it probly is fake and/or a virus.
- You cant get a virus unless you initilize or open a file
and u can always double chek by scanning the individual file you just downloaded.

Thats it
Thats all


THE END

i hope you didnt just finish that off with 'THE END' in an attempt to end this thread. cuz i know a newbie ain't gonna be screwing with a thread i started to see the numbers here at zp.

if you said the end to finish the ppl discussing viruses, it aint your decision where to end that either. deal with it.

[Galileo]

Good ways to get infucted:

download files with many sources

yes, since a virus' primary function is to spread, it will have a lot of sources.

You cant get a virus unless you initilize or open a file

Yeah, good idea, so you download a lot of stuff that you never open. And download songs that you never play and apps you'll never try and movies you'll never watch. lol. Good strategy. haha.

By the way, you can get a virus without 'initializing' or ever opening the virus file. If you don't know this, you might want to read up a bit.


small kb to 1mb files are usually viruses or sum bs

This is like about the 5th time I've seen newbie people post the false information that all you have to do is not download small files thinking large ones can't be infected. lol. When someone says this you immediately get that same realization as when you're all sitting watching a Baseball game, a guy hits a homer, and somebody jumps up and says "Yay! Our team just got a touchdown!"

One more time for the Record: viruses can be inside any size file, and even pad files so that the byte size is identical to the original, and even the date is patched to indicate no modification.

This can be discreetly hidden inside a large archive, iso, or anything, hidden among 100's of other files deep down in a subfolder where you will never notice it.

(Just an example, a virus scoops out bits from WINSCK32.DLL, inserts itself, pads the file so that its size is identical to the original WINSCK32.DLL and modifies the dates back to the original creation date, last modified, and last accessed dates, of the real WINSCK32.DLL, it's then packed inside an archive in a subfolder and for example named "Norton AntiVirus 2003 - Full Version.iso" 92.4 megabytes ..or whatever app, whatever size file, it can be anything, you won't know.)

u can always double chek by scanning the individual file you just downloaded. ..I dont even have a virus scanner.

Hmm. One minute you don't have a virus scanner, then you say you only scan once a year, and then all of a sudden you scan every file? Interesting how you do that when you don't even have a virus scanner. lol. You're all over the map. If you're gonna bs, at least make it consistent. hehe.

Chuckling at your BS. -FIN-

[isus]

thank you. you are fast becoming a good ally in this battle, galileo.

[Ken17625]

I read Psilaxs's statement, and i'm waiting to see if old skorchie here will respond to that.


I like to get the majority of my files some time today. Therefore I use Kazaa++ or DC.

[nomaan]

[Evil_Dweller_01]

Wtf?

Dude.. Galileo proved you WAY wrong and you mock him?

You know he's right and you are wrong but you just can't admit that somebody more inteligent in this kind of matter responded to your post and shut you down so you make a stupid ass post with 50k periods.. shows how smart you are

[Lamourlady]

WinMX.
period.
i think we all know the reasons i choose this app by now.
eh?
geezzz, nan......stfu about winmx already.
well.....this is a p2p forum.
and the vote was either or.
no?
yep.
WinMX it is.
and if u haven't figured out how to deal with queues, then all i can say is.........omg!

[isus]

lol... nomaan, you are a dumb newbie.

the end.

[MAtT_Zero]

(dup post)

[MAtT_Zero]

I know Galileo... what about a virus scanner!?!?

And no... I don't mean running on-access scanning 24/7 on every file on your PC... I mean selective scanning your download directory.... and that's only if users are too stupid to see their MPG file has an EXE extension or something. Viruses? Who cares? The more dumb users get them the better - it might just teach them to be a little less stupid next time!

Oh, and BTW - K++ every time. Used to use both, but WINMX queues are just ridiculous these days.

[Galileo]

a file ending in .mpg (even without any .vbs on the end) can infect you.

And yeah, survival of the fittest. I shouldn't be taking my time to help them if they don't want to listen. lol.

Hehe.... There's this website that's hilarious... They have all this stuff against Lawyers. And they have all these articles on there about how Lawyers are f*cking up the genetics of humanity by suing everyone for stuff like not printing "Caution: Coffee may be hot" when some dork wad spills it on themselves and burns themself.

They say that by instituting all this safety stuff for the brainless, that Natural Selection is not taking its course, and the dumbasses that normally would be killed by doing things like sticking their tongue into the electrical socket, are surviving and passing their dumbass genes onward, dumbing down the world. LOL.

It was pretty funny.

[MAtT_Zero]

um - do you wanna explain how a file with a MPG extension can infect you? It can be a virus that has been named .MPG, but opening it won't do anything cos it's not executable.

[Galileo]

Watching the video can infect you.

[MAtT_Zero]

er... um.... and you get your information from... where? Let me introduce you to a PC...

Watching a movie CANNOT infect you. A virus needs some kind of executable program to run... EXE, COM, PIF, SCR, VBS or other scripts.... a virus cannot infect you via MPG or MP3.

I'm a technical analyst and one of my responsibilities is looking after the AV solutions on all our companies workstations servers and internet gateways... and if I ever see an MPG infect someone I'll eat my sombrero.

Now... a file called britney.MPG.EXE with the user not turning-on the display of common extensions... that's a different matter.

[Galileo]

I wouldn't hire ya then.

Get out your sombrero.

[MAtT_Zero]

it's ready... but believe me, I'll need more than your word on that. Better be linking-up or shutting-up ;-) Post away...

[PornMaster]

Galileo, You are so wrong, i've never seen someone as wrong as you.
The only extentions that can infect you are,.exe .com .pif .doc .vbs and .scr
It is IMPOSSIBLE for an mp3 to infect you same goes for a mpg or avi, those are NOT executables, therefor they CANNOT infect you.

[endersgame21]

MAtT_Zero and Pornmaster are right. There is now way in hell a mp3 or mpg file is a virus and cannot under any circumstances infect you. It is impossible and always will be impossible.

[Galileo]

LOL. newbs.

Hmm. I could win some money on this one.

Care to put some money on that?

[PornMaster]

Calling me a newbie eh?

Well, Take a look here (http://www.techtv.com/callforhelp/print/0,23102,3015142,00.html) for file extenions that can be executed, and here (http://www.custom-code-factory.com/viruses.htm#HARMLESS) for file extenions that are harmless!

Well, This newbie just proved you wrong!

[MAtT_Zero]

For one, your lack of posting a link to any proof gives you away. For two , the fact that a major AV manufacturer like Network Associates doesn't even enable scanning of MP* files by default gives you away (or are THEY wrong too huh?), and three - you're just plain wrong - cos if you knew anything about computing you'd KNOW what you are saying does not make sense.

I'll bet you your reputation on this board - if you have any left after the nonsense you're posting in this thread :-)

[nasrules]

kazaa, itd be kmd over winmx if it came down to it anyway.

[King_Zamunda]

>I'll bet you your reputation on this board - if you have any left after the nonsense you're posting in this thread :-)


Ooh , thems sound like fighting words to me. Galileo.

Forget the money, your pride is at stake now,


And Isis, what's with this poll? Please don't tell me you started this on my behalf?

[Galileo]

Ahh, yes.... BOOTIE COTHRAN, the world renowned virus expert, and custom programmer. HAHAHA!

Don't hire him either.

Any 14 year old dorkmeyer can put up a site saying whatever, and name themselves BOOTIE BIGBOTTOM. I'm sure you'll find a lot of sites and discussion boards claiming you can't get infected by a file ending in .mp3 or .mpg, just like you see people here on Zeropaid saying viruses are only in small files. But it's incorrect.

LOL. This is too funny. This is where you separate the men from the little boys and find out who really knows their stuff and who doesn't.

I'm gonna see who else wants to put their name up on the newb list saying you can't get infected from a file ending in .mp3 or .mpeg

LOL.

[Rickio]

It is possible for a mp3 to give you a virus. But that was patched already by winamp and microshit.

I would venture to guess if a mp3 can be manipulated , so can a mpg. But I don't think it is likely with the security patches that now exist.

Oh I didn't bother to do a google search. Let's let our brother geek here prove it.

[Rickio]

NO USE ARGUIN WITH PEOPLE WHO WONT ADMIT THEIR WRONG.

I am not on galileos side. just mentioning the truth.

both winamp and microsoft came out with security patches for a exploit that was possible with mp3 files when using winamp or wmp.

don't take my word go to winamp or microsoft and read about it.

there is also another variation kinda like a trojan idea. where you download a file that a infected mp3 can invoke. It is not classic virus but in fact if your screwed your screwed if you don''t have the current patch.

[Psilaxs]

Rickio, it wasnt the MP3 file itself, it was the id3 tag/metadata attached to it.

Want me to prove it? i will post a small mp3 file with a virus placed inside of it. And let ppl download it. We will see whether it infects or not. it wont. I have done it when all this Mp3 viri hype was at its highest.


MP3's are not executed compiled or decompiled, and do not give the computer any instructions.

As i have stated, that is the mp3 players job, is to instruct the P.C on how to handle the file. An MP3 is not naitive to windows, whereas .exe .vbs .scr are.

But it is pssible for an mpg to redirect you to a website, (it has happend to me) and if you active x controls are not set properly then yes, you can get infected that way, but it was not because it was imbedded in the MPx file itself.

*WHISTLES* "Hey Krell!! Where are you!?!?
You wanna come and help clean up this mess? lol

haha, anybody who starts a thread for you would be an idiot. im not that lame.

i started it bc i wanted to know. is that ok with you? ya dumbassed newbie... the world does not revolve around you.

and i think galileo could take your sorry ass.

he's right. itd be nice if you weren't newbies, you would have seen the news about mp3's that could infect your system thru winamp or wmp. duh.

anything stored in ram could go awol on your system and fuck it up. that would be a virus. loading an mp3 into ram is the same ram you load an exe into. and an mp3 player uses the same cpu to play the mp3 as a virus uses to email all your friends.

[Mel_Smiley]

How the hell do mpgs redirect you to websites? That has happened to me a few time recently. Seems to be an epidemic on kazaa right now.

[tipple]

well said, tipple. each is good for certain things. it's not a competition.

[Siskabush]

LOL, the closest thing to a mp3 virus was that exploit in winamp and WMP.

The only thing that gets the mp3 file decoded is the audio card.
And the audio card CANNOT open a exe file. other crap takes care of those.

Attaching a virus to it and renaming it to mp3.exe will infect you.

As long as the name is .mp3 and that only, nothing will happen.
ADD ME TO THE NOOB LIST lol

[Sockfulloflove]

.avi and .mpeg can always be renamed. so its very possible to get a virus.

[tipple]

Attaching a virus to it and renaming it to mp3.exe will infect you.

As long as the name is .mp3 and that only, nothing will happen.

This is why you should use the show full file extensions option winmx.

[matstao]

& galileo comes back from banned death to deliver the potential knock-out blow

[tipple]

Yeah, come to think of it, I do remember reading how it is possible to embed the active scripts in files that were considered safe.

[King_Zamunda]

I always had faith in ya lad ;)


You've got a good track record when it comes to stuff like this. So the smart money - if there was any - would've been on you.

Guess Matt needs to do a little brushing up on this subject or see his p45 being waved in his face by his present employer.


But I've learned something here. I seem to remember viewing a porno clip I downloaded, I think it was Tiffany Minx. And my web browser opened up. It may have been for spam advertising purposes only, hopefully...

[Theinfamousone]

The funny part is that you've wasted 10 times more time writing that stupid post than I have spent fixing virus problems in the last 2 years that I've been using Kazaa.

BTW NO ONE CARES! No one thinks any more of you than they did before you wrote that.

WinMX: can find it, but can't download.

Hey galileo, this whole virus thing started because I said I had never got a virus because it was easy to tell which ones were viruses and which ones were not. So you have proved that you can get infected by large files or files that end in .mp3, etc. but I still make sure I download files that have many users so I still have not and never will get a virus off of kazaa. And it isn't that likely that you were find viruses like the ones you described anyways.

[ronniebravo]

this has nothign to do with the fact you obviously like kazaa. just dont be some bitchass little man running around trying to get on people cuz you think your smart.

bc you aren't

[Ken17625]

I use Dogster.

With the dogster teleporation community, I can find files, before they even exist! Dogster utilizes instant time travel technology(future only in this release) to go into the future to look for those "hard to find" goat porn movies. Next version will contain the ability to go back in time; even to the hayday of NAPSTER!!!

I have to agree with that. I had WinMX long before Kazaa, but hate waiting in queue for so long. I still like WinMX for rare files that I can't find on Kazaa. I also found a lot less bogus files on WinMX too. I will keep WinMX and I sure hope a new version of it comes out soon. Until then, Kazaa wins my vote.

lol, you mention the next winmx... there was some news that they would have it out soon, but its been a while... *sigh*

[Evil_Dweller_01]

See the guy said the new version was going to be out in 2-6 weeks..

ITS BEEN 10 WEEKS SO FAR!!!!

Yet, no version available
Although you know Frontcode, they always bug everything out to make sure there are no problems before releasing a new version or beta.. and still, there are a ton of new features for the upcoming version so it does require significant amount of testing :fire

the one thing we can count on with winmx.......is that a new version....will be released.

WinMx.

All the way for mp3's and movies.:playboy

[Anenga2]

WinMX is utterly useless. Why use it when you can use K++? Kazaa has like 20 times the users of WinMX and has way less upload system problems than WinMX does.

WinMX is on the slippery slope downwards to extinction. It had a good life =)

If your using WinMX, get Shareaza, BitTorrent & K++. Your all set.

[mh2360]

Fasttrack/Kazaa is approaching 5 million users, NO OTHER p2p network can compete with this. BUT!!!, Kazaa IMHO is only really useful for music and porn... Not many 2 CD AC3 DVD rips, Games that are ripped (no music , videos etc), Not many PSX(2) CD images, NO PC game CD images, Hardly any zipped high quality albums... The Edonkey/Emule network may be slow in comparason, but it is still the best IMHO....

funniest thing i have ever heard: winmx is on its way to 'extinction'... haha. if anything, kazaa is moving towards extinction. they found the supernode server...

besides, with the exception of the participation level (and more adware/spyware), kazaa has not been seriously updated since it was sold to sharman a while ago.

i dont think sharman has a clue about how kazaa works, or what's going on.

o, and to the whole "why use winmx?" bc it doesnt have all the worms. (i dont remember anything about k++ stopping new worms... it might block them once they are known and an update is released, but...)

and also, winmx can remember column sizes and positions. it can do multiple searches. it has chat rooms integrated into it. etc etc.

[Mel_Smiley]

Kazaa is fo fast because every single user shares the same files. There is never much new added because kazaa users, in general, just don't know how to rip a CD, moveie, etc. You have to wait with QueMX, but unlike Kazaa, when you do get connected with a rare file, your gonna stay connected instead of getting a small chunk immediatley, then going to remoteque. Mx connections are much more stable

[Evil_Dweller_01]

Wow.. i couldn't agree more with Isus and Mel_Smiley.. Winmx is the shit and will stay the shit!

Anenga.. how the hell is winmx going toward extinction? I never heard of queues killing a program to the part where it can't function anymore as that is what you are implying...

Anyway, I don't know why but Shareaza is the one with 600 sources for a fucking file and a transfer rate of .45Kb/s..which is sad. if winmx had 20 sources it would download faster
I still use shareaza and winmx and the others on my sig... but come on? that problem has to be fixed

Anyways.. long live winmx!

That doesn't mean they can take down Kazaa. Trust me, Kazaa won't be shut down unless the developers get bored/don't make profit off of it. WinMX, on the other hand, doesn't have the legion of lawyers and what not that Kazaa has.

besides, with the exception of the participation level (and more adware/spyware), kazaa has not been seriously updated since it was sold to sharman a while ago.
It's been updated more than WinMX has. Granted, Kazaa hasen't had any ground breaking releases, but nor has WinMX. It's a hell of a lot more popular than WinMX is. Kazaa earns profit, and the WinMX don't communicate much online regarding it's software, which concludes (to me, anyways) that they're inactive developers which don't have much intrest in really continuing it. The people I knew who used WinMX no longer use it anymore because of the queues and bad GUI.

i dont think sharman has a clue about how kazaa works, or what's going on.
I'm pretty sure they do, you on the other hand...

o, and to the whole "why use winmx?" bc it doesnt have all the worms. (i dont remember anything about k++ stopping new worms... it might block them once they are known and an update is released, but...)
Worms? I've never gotten a virus on K++ or any Kazaa software. If your stupid enough to get a virus like that, you deserve it.

and also, winmx can remember column sizes and positions. it can do multiple searches. it has chat rooms integrated into it. etc etc.
lol, Don't even bring up the GUI card with WinMX. WinMX is probably the worst GUI I've ever seen. Plus now with it's queues/underground trading transition... it's pretty much, as I said, useless. Chat rooms is a subsidary feature for a P2P client, who cares about chat when you can't download crap.

1. you kazaa fanboys are cute. sharman will always turn a profit on kazaa bc they dont do any work on it. and they send out the same adware, which means they make money, offa the people who use regular kazaa.
2. kazaa earns a profit? maybe bc they want money... notice how winmx doesnt have spyware or adware? they dont need a profit to keep their servers running.
3. im pretty sure you wish you did. haha. "you on the other hand"... if sharman knows so much about how ft operates, then why don't i see multiple searches, or better columns, or anything better? kazaa has looked the same for years, and probably worked the same too.
4. did i say "you"? if i did, i meant people in general. if i didn't, stop putting words in my mouth.
5. you'd be the only one not smart enough to be able to use winmx and dl files without queues.

why do so many lame ass whiny little kiddies say they use kazaa bc of winmx's queues? if you had any brain, you would know how to simply reconnect to a better peer, and then find the file without a queue. works for me.

dont whine so much, you make me hate you even more.

I'm definatly not a Kazaa "fanboy". Hell, I hardly use it. But that doesn't mean it's not better than WinMX. WinMX, IMHO, does not work anymore.

2. kazaa earns a profit? maybe bc they want money... notice how winmx doesnt have spyware or adware? they dont need a profit to keep their servers running.
I believe WinMX earns profit elsewhere (like Shareaza). Organizations usually work faster/more when money is involved, hence my logic regarding the WinMX developers. They don't need a profit, because there is nothing to profit off of. They do, however, need resources (Money) to pay for the servers, obviously.

3. im pretty sure you wish you did. haha. "you on the other hand"... if sharman knows so much about how ft operates, then why don't i see multiple searches, or better columns, or anything better? kazaa has looked the same for years, and probably worked the same too.
Wish I did what? Know how Kazaa works? Why would I care? :P I'm pretty sure Sherman or it's developers know how it's own software works/operates. I don't think they add multiple searches because it will take more network traffic, columns or "anything better"... maybe their view of new good features differs from yours. WinMX hasen't really improved at all IMO.

5. you'd be the only one not smart enough to be able to use winmx and dl files without queues.
That doesn't make much sense. If I can't do it, damn sure a hell of a lot of other people can't either. I don't go on P2P proggies to wait days to download a file I want, if that's what your implying needs to be done on WinMX ("Just wait around") then it's a failure (especially with it's marketshare).

why do so many lame ass whiny little kiddies say they use kazaa bc of winmx's queues? if you had any brain, you would know how to simply reconnect to a better peer, and then find the file without a queue. works for me.
Reconnecting to peers really doesn't do anything, that doesn't reduce queues. It may be able to give you a better "Horizon" or something, but I don't think it would have much effect. Why would you have to reconnect peers to be able to simply download stuff? Seems unreasonable to me.

dont whine so much, you make me hate you even more.
Whine about what? I think you need a dictionary =)

[Theinfamousone]

Evil Dweller, you said it with Shareaza, I don't know if it flat out lies to you or what, but it doesn't matter how many sources you have for a file, 500+, it doesn't matter, the transfer rates are rarely very good.

Kazaa on the other hand is amazing, it connects you to 4 or more sources and you're flying at 100KB/s on average.

You're right, admittedly Kazaa does a little too much transfer breaking up, that is a downside. For some reason I upload sections of a file to one person, and I upload the entire sections to another guy. I'd rather be the guy that is getting the entire thing. I have the entire series of rare TV shows like the Wonder Years etc., and so the people that actually connect to me, I'd like to see them get the whole file rather than transfer 6MB at a time to 100 different people.

And yes, I think that the average Kazaa user doesn't do as much ripping as the average Winmx user, but who said you're only allowed to use one P2P app?

Winmx is dying, it's dying because the protocol is too fragile, when the guy above you is slow or whatever, the people below him can't get files, which means that people can't get files from them, which means that the network gets exponentially slower.

[Cyberpukish]

at least winmx's gui changed between versions. kazaa went from 1.7 to 2, with no significant changes. they dont even fix the scrollbars so they adjust to fit the window. that's just lazy.

That doesn't make much sense. If I can't do it, damn sure a hell of a lot of other people can't either.

um, no, you dont wait days. you press refresh, then search for the file again. i always find a sourcefor a file, after doing this just once.

Reconnecting to peers really doesn't do anything, that doesn't reduce queues. It may be able to give you a better "Horizon" or something, but I don't think it would have much effect. Why would you have to reconnect peers to be able to simply download stuff? Seems unreasonable to me.
um, never said it reduces queues. you get a new horizon, and therefore, a better chance of finding the file. lol. seems unreasonable to me to hafta dl an illegal p2p client to escape adware.

That's exactly what I mean, they make money elsewhere. They have their own jobs etc., which (I'm sure) takes priority over WinMX.

WinMX only seems to change their entire protocol, and it just gets worse and worse. What did they change in the GUI? Add more buttons?

People consider it all illegal, the U.S. definatly thinks Kazaa is illegal, so it's like saying your illegally stole a crack pipe from a druggie.

it takes to long to seperate everything:
no, you just sounded ultra-super-pro-kazaa... i dont mind if you say tha you like kazaa bc ____, but it just sounded like you were trying to shit on winmx, when kazaa has its own problems too.

ok, we agree on the 2nd paragraph...

i say so. it works for many of my friends too.

good example. but the druggie who owns the crackpot could still sue you. they have enough money to battle the riaa, so i would guess they have enough money to chase you too.

Actually, it sounds like legally speaking, the US is finally starting to see that these networks and their creator aren't what's bad, it's the bad apples that trade copyrighted material. Since they let Grokster and StreamCast get out of the courtroom alive.

what you do is:
find the file you want. we will call it file a.
start to dl it. queue or not. let it go to remotely queued.
now right-click and select "search for alternates"
it will take you to the search window.
if it gives you an open source, stop here, but it usually doesn't, so...
go to the networks tab, press refresh
go back to the search tab and press search again.

i have never found a file this didnt work for.

Im still having to stp quickmx after awhile because sometimes its causing an error and closes winmx. I suspect though, it could be a file mis-match causing the trouble. Or mayybe its just my crappy ME OS. With some refinement, quckmx is going to be a great tool.
Now where the hell is frontcode with the new version of Winmx??? Come on please let us know something

This thread makes no sense. It should be called Kazaa vs the rest.
What the fuck is winmx doing next to kazaa? This suggest that winmx is no1 challenger - but if anything is going to surpass kazaa, its more likely to be shareaza or something else.

Winmx = dead.

this is the type of stupid post i didn't wanna see here.

loser. grow up. and learn to count. gnutella has about half the users of winmx.

kazaa = 5 mill
winmx = 1 or 2 mill
gnutella = 400 thou
g2 even less

hola dont get mad. my post is up in your face weither you like or not. Shareaza is a good software - needs more users but the network is more reliable than winmx, - so for that reason, is a good candidate to become the no\1 p2p app when users leave kazaa.

WINMX there's only probably about 500,000 people you can download from the rest is useless now on Kazaa there's 5 Million users and i Guarante you that there's ATLEAST 2,000,000 that you can download out of the almost 5 million

now on 1 or 2 mill too bad WinMX doesnt have a Counter to proove that if you have prooves please send it to me I want to see that with my own eyes.

Thanks!
