all i can say is....

FINALLY!!!

[Serps]

This is one program I'm definitely looking forward to.

here's the info you all want in case you don't want to bother reading the interview:

WinMX: I hesitate to give an estimation of how much longer it's going to take. There are many new features in the next version that we've already completed, but there are many others that we're still working on that could take a while. Anything that we carried over from the v3.x series had to be totally re-written to fit into the new architecture, which was also very time-consuming.

I'm hell-bent on getting this one right, and we're being very careful and not rushing things. I think it will be well worth the delay in the end.

All that being said, I'll give a very rough estimate of late October for WinMX v4.0 beta 1.

There's a lot more useful information in that article other than the last statement....Definately a great read as usual from Slyck...

[condorloco]

all it really needs is a new user base and files

can't really argue with that...as long as the userbase isn't fasttrack :mellow

WinMx 4.0 is great, people who diss it can go hide on Earthstation if they want, but it's a great program. WinMx 3.3 or whatever was last had a leech problem. They should limit you to 1 download per say 20 files you share. Just starting out? Rip some cd's even if you stopped buying i know you have some.

not true! Don't forget opennap. A great source for rare music files. If you meant the winmx network itself, yes it needs a new user base.

WinMx 4.0 is great

oh great! People already like it before even seeing it.

was he talking about Oct 03 or Oct 04?

Call me cynic but I wouldn't start celebrating until I see an actual download for it. Hopefully when it does come it will address some of the current problems.

:shy i hope winmx 4.0 beats the queing system joke i mean 110 in a que for a film unless you have broadband????in my opions winmesh is winning cause it reliable and gets the films i want quick,winmx second for good searches and uses but sort out the queing please???shareaza third connecting upto to multiple networks is cool but it is always pending and active after a hour what a joke,kaaza fourth users are going away slowly and not much is happening it is dying slowly so it is neck n neck my 100 quid goes on winmx to be the star of tommoro or why dont imesh n winmx team up and blow all all the others out ofd the water????

[Mel_Smiley]

Whenmx???

There is nothing wrong with the que system, let me explain. Most other programs start you right away with a small chunk of the file, when you recieve that small chunk you are then cycled out and the next person in line gets a start. This works fine with popular files, but for files that are rare(I.E. straight from the ripper), Its horrible. This fact causes networks to go stale with the same old shit. Time to move on.
When whenmx does connect you, you will stay connected to that person until the file is finished unless they cancel you or time out. This is ideal for traders which is rampant on whenmx, I do some myself(so shoot me). But is also Ideal for rippers, which is why you see such a large library on whenmx. Its just all the good shit is on the top shelf and your 5 foot 3".


But anyways, when i saw this thread i thought 4 was out damn it!
