WinMX used to be great, but not anymore. If you're still on 2.6, you don't get to use WPNP - a lot like the NapINC forced upgrades most of us recall, and what's more, there isn't a place on the WinMX site anymore to get cache addresses, etc. so you can config. Sucks, really, but the sadest thing is, I haven't yet found anything better than WinMX's shell of its former self. iMesh, Blubster, KaZaA...please. I'd give aG a chance if I could ever download it from their site, and I haven't had a run at Limewire yet either. Last night I actually had a six hour connection (a rarity considering my shit modem, shit box and the shit phone lines around here - for those of you living in caves, yes, I'm still on dial-up) but what did it go for? About 5% of a 40 meg file. If I had a dedicated connection and could wait around for a couple of days for a download to start, yeah, I guess it wouldn't be so bad. Oh, and yes, I do have downloads that haven't finished in months. Surprise.
