winmx has been ''under attack'' for months, according to heavy users i interviewed back in march (last story here). it was always a leecher's paradise, but now even the poor leechers have thier work cut out for them. in what's been variously described as the p2p equivlent of a dos attack it seems the big uploaders are the evul minions of the riaa flooding winmx with zombie files that never come to life.

you can find an interesting thread at the cricketmx forums about this very thing here, and technical information exposing a possible ''flooding'' process here.
