Winmx Bug
kjfgmjhgkjhgkjg
Try going to your shared folder on WinMX, and hit Refresh, see if it goes away.
o_0 yeah thats a bug, i did that and i found that 3.3 was showing weird german mp3s files i NEVER have had in my HD, yeah do the refresh thing and all, hum... more and more bugs appears in 3.3... :(
yup. same here. they definetly have to fix it.
are you on secondary connection? "ghost files" are very common on secondary connections. I once browsed myself in a chat room and It said I had kiddie porn. I was horrified, since I think that stuff is sick and shouldn't exist, and here it was saying I had that crud on my HD... but you'll get a new selection of files every time you log on, last monday I "had" some anime movies.
Its been like that throught the whole 3.xx series. :fire

Maybe I'm one of the fortunate ones, but it works fine for me. Then on the other hand, I'm not that winmx literate either.
Though on opennap, you'll always get the correct files, though due to some servers will limit the number of files shown. OpenNap is not affected by your connection on WinMX. This is useful if someone accuses you of not sharing you can then go to a server (that doesn't limit browses!) and prove yourself.

ok so if these ghost files exist on your shared folder or whatever, if another user tries to download this type of file won't they get an error or something?
they can't download something that is not there right?
I'm unable to browse my own shared files via entering a chat since I can't seem to get in one after I right click and select "Join", nothing happens. That's another bug I guess...
You'll get an error message saying "the file has cannot be found" or something like that.
Oh, try not to get into a busy chat, It'll say 40/40 for example. Which means thiers a capacity for 40 and its full. Try one of the emptier chats. And it takes a while for it to load up, depending on connection.

I tried on the ones that are not full and it takes forever so I don't even bother...I currently have DSL 768/128 so I don't know why it would take to long to load.

Yea, this problem has existed in every version of WinMX since I first started using it, but, come on, it's not that big of a deal. Most people are aware of this problem, and if they browse you and see 500 mp3's and 2 or 3 porn, they will realize that these are ghost files, and if not, who cares. It' somewhat annoying and needs to be fixed, but it's no reason to quit using WinMX. It' the best there is.

Listen if it bugs you all so much (as it does me) then take a .txt file and put some gibberish in it so its more than 0 bytes, and then name the file "if you see porn, anime, pop music, etc, etc, etc, it is a ghost file NOT REAL.txt"
and put as much as you can in the file name and make another file and name that as "ghost files are other peoples files that show up on secondary users browses.txt"
Add them to your shared folder, and add .txt to your shared file types list.
