i cant understand why so many people use winmx
and why this program catch up your heart.
it seems to beone of the worst p2p programs i have
ever used from personal experience.
i have used many protcols for download,for example
fast track,gnutella,http,ftp,irc,newsgroup ( its my
favorite !),direct conent,and so on.
surely,there are some rare files on winmx.
but someone who have rare files would always
be p2p expert like "trade only people" .
whennever i connect wpn, i always get IM that
says "trade?"
why they atemp to trade for even mainstream
files like major software?
this really sucks.
Well orange, gues your experience is a little different thanmine. I have had great success with WinMX.
If Im looking for something new, I will look on irc or newsgroups. And every once in a while a trip to DC land is in order, but its a good old of WinMX for me.
Have u used AFS and AEQ properly? I get the Trade messages, but AFS and AEQ find more than enough sources for me.
WinMX FAQ you might find something there that canhelp you maximize winmx...its worth the shot.
The Avalanche has already started, it is too late for the pebbles to vote -Kosh
All benefit of techinfo to ZeroPaid has beeen removed.
Theees little postie has beeen Skorched! :-)
yeah win mx blows eDonkey (the network) is better than that.
Kazaa lite owns all but DC++ is pritty fat
"The more you know the less you know you know."
-My self
It happens
because the only place that I can get rare stuff is winmx and soulseek. Need other reasons?
I use WinMX for Music only. It has music with good bitrates. I only use WinMX becuase Blubster's client(2.0) is too buggy to use. I do admit, even music gets queued in WinMX. I downloaded a file with about 20 sources. All the sources either queued me up or returned the old "File/User is unavailable", although it did eventually download. It just took a while. But its the only alternative for good quality music. If anyone knows of any Clients/protocols that have good quality music(no AG clones), please let me know. Oh, and forget Ubernet.
You can't triple stamp a double stamp.
A lot of people like to use WinMX for it's rare files, low CPU usage, no BS-ware, endless search results, & quality bitrates (or is it just me). I've never really had any problems with WinMX. Sure being remotely queued can be a pain, but with a little patients (if you have patients) & a little luck, you'll almost certainly get what you want. WinMX requires a lot of patients.Originally posted by OrangeMoon

Hello to Van City ( I used to live in Richmond)
Bring back Napster and I will dump WinMX.
I love Winmx.. As MarkB said, it just requires patience and if you have it, Than Winmx kicks ass!!
I can always find what I'm looking for (mostly music) with fast download rates (multi-point dl is great). It works for me, so I am happy with it and that's all that counts. I do admit the ques suck sometimes but what p2p program is absolutely perfect (that's why I have more one on my comp).

Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats".
winmx is what i mainly use ...even in the napster/ag days heh
lots of high bitrate audio...yea it has its downsides queues which will go away quick...with music files anyway but others are worse then winmx such as gnutella...not much quality..edonky..requires more patience then winmx and kazaa carp music files and most likely has the most spoofed/mis labled files. also dc..if u dont have alot to share or on dial up forget about it......urbernet thats a hub on dc right?
Currently using eMule/BT/SLSK
Computer specs: Pathetic..need to buy new one
i'll finish my sites one day LOL

It's not a bad application. You simply need to work with it and become familiar with it. It is actually very good.
I simply use what ever I need to get what I want and I get most of what I am looking for. Though lately I like browsing and discovering new music. (new to me)
:-)
peace!
Kinda feel the same way about newsgroups as you. They're the best place to find music I wasn't actually looking for, like tapes I had in the seventies and early eighties. The "oh shit, I used to own that album" kicks in, and next thing you know it's all in your download queue. A sizeable amount of music I share in WinMX comes from there. WinMX is my favorite if I look for a specific song, to complete an album for instance.
WinMX really is horrible for anything other than music. Oh yeah, for some reason I can't upload files with it anymore. I uploaded a few entire CD's to some people a few days ago, nothing by "Timed Out" but I can still download. I opened up everything to WinMX, restarted, and it still won't work. I'm not on a college LAN either. What's going wrong?
