Kneel before WinMX 3.1!

Oh, here NapMX and Darkservers (for .wsx files)

if you can get the jawdropping brand new ashley beadle mix of the streets' 'weak become heroes' i'll sell my soul to it. betcha can't though.

I take it you mean the other people have 56k rather than yourself, that would be rather impressive!

Has anyone tried KazaaLite BTW? It is a hacked kazaa without the spyware and adverts I believe.

you're kidding, right? winmx 3.1 sucks - first off, considering the amount of time it took for them to get it out, they could've at least made it import your opennap server lists and hotlist (instead of deleting them as soon as you start the program, thank god for backups). second, the hotlist STILL doesn't work correctly on opennap servers. third, the messaging program works about half of the time, the rest of the time the little "sending" indicator just runs and runs. fourth, it renames your incomplete files in an irritating, unusable fashion a la kazaa. fifth, it fucking sucks, and since the 'add source for download' feature only works on their leechified WPNP protocol network, it's almost entirely useless. i'm sticking with 2.6 unless and until they actually sort their software out before releasing it.

No. I mean I was able -- with my crummy 56k -- to download a 320 bitrate extended remix that weighed in at 11megs in less than 8 minutes. (Granted this was because the prog simultaneously hooked me up to 6 other people who had that track, and two of them had T1 lines; but still, hooking up to 6 people with 56k modems will get you there three times faster than hooking up with 1 person with a 56k modem.)

...they could've at least made it import your opennap server lists and hotlist
Well, hotlist is still a problem, but between WinMX 3.1 (with NapMX 2.0 added on) it adds opennap servers for you. It updates them every time you use NapMX, and if you leave NapMX up you can update them at will after that.

And here's a reason to avoid Kazaa.

Kazaa worm adds sour note to file swaps
A new computer worm targeted at users of Kazaa's popular file-swapping system infected PCs in Germany and Mexico this weekend.
Posing as popular song and movie files, the Benjamin worm aims to infect Kazaa users' PCs by tricking them into downloading a phony media file to their computer and opening it.
The worm poses as any of thousands different files, and varies the size of the file, it may be hard for a Kazaa user to discern which files on the network are real and which are infected. In addition, the worm does little but store copies of itself on a PC.
To date, though, few reports of the worm have surfaced.
The Benjamin worm spreads to a computer after the PC owner downloads a fake file from another infected user over the Kazaa network. Once opened, the worm brings up a dialog box claiming that an error has occurred as a result of file corruption.
In reality, the worm works in the background and creates a new directory called "Sys32" in the Windows Temp folder, which it sets as an upload directory for Kazaa. It then fills the new directory with files of various sizes, each containing a copy of the worm and labeled with a name chosen randomly from a list carried by the 216KB Kazaa program.
The worm appears to do no other damage to infected systems.

No. I mean I was able -- with my crummy 56k -- to download a 320 bitrate extended remix that weighed in at 11megs in less than 8 minutes.

I'm sorry but you just can't do that. Even if your modem actually worked at 56kbps (which never happens even on a perfect phone line - And I only get a maximum of 31.2kbps on my awful phone-line) the maths would work out something like this:

56kbps = 7000 bytes per second x 60 seconds = 420,000 bytes = 410K (approx) x 8 minutes = 3280K = just over 3 meg.

And that's an absolute maximum which is impossible to obtain. Try it again, you must have lost track of time somew

I was watching the time and that was how long it took. (Granted, the phone lines in my neighborhood are new and experimental, but my Modem is very definitely a 56k.)
But never mind the download, check out the virus warning upthread about the Benjamin virus. Thats 10x more important and interesting than my own downloads.
Okay, is the virus the whim of a perverse virus-writing twit...or the maliciously deliberate attack initiated by the RIAA? Who here is paranoid enough to suspect the RIAA?

why don't you people use AudioGalaxy? I've snagged 21.7 GB off it since March. Buh.

Because nearly every time I've used it, it sucks.

Cause it includes spyware dlls which are a PAIN in the ass to remove, not just gator.

why don't you people use AudioGalaxy?

because I have proxy at work, and I can use WinMX, but cannot Audiogalaxy... anybody knows how to set my proxy to be able to use Audiogalaxy?
