    Bandwidth and resource hug?

    Hi
    Just installed WinMX 3.22. I have been a Kazaa Lite and Morpheus user before and whished to experiment with WinMX now.
    I have a pretty desent machine (Athlon 1800+ and 512RAM on XP pro) and have seen that WinMX is a resource hug. The only thing that I have modified is the WinMX Peer network setting, I have raised the allocated bandwidth to 15 KB/s out 22.5 KB/s in. I am on 512/128 cable and that is why I have raised this value. Anyway the program is eatung amost 20% of my CPU cycles. Is this normal?
    I really apreciate some advice for setting it up in the best way.
    I have downloaded also Gator2MX v1.2, but have not installed it yet. Is this program good? I am really beginner in WinMX.

    Thanks a lot for the help.

    If you are running connecting with a primary connection to winmx it will tax your resources significantly. If it becomes too much of pain you can always switch to secondary connection. primary connection gives you a more stable connection, but in return part of your resources will be utilized to run the winmx network.

    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".

    DON"T install Gator. It's just a bunch of spyware crap you don't need on your computer.
