Ahhh...linked. Actually, I never got kicked off ranger's, just got the already active on dyndns. Thanks for the update(s).

[Shani]

Thanks guys.. looks great. But... for some reason anyone who tries to download off me gets a time-out error. used to happen to me on napster and AudioGnome too... anything i can do about it?

I thought i had a lot of mp3s.. feeling small next to some of you guys

I know some people have different user names on winmx.

i have about 25 peole hotlisted but I cannot put a username with a face from the underground. Can you guyslgals post you winmx name with your underground forum name if they differ? thanks

[thinker]

On servers run by people from here, my username is as you see it to the left.

Comments about napsterites using different p2p names from their board names.

I noticed a sudden jump in users on the Pommienet server, how many of these are Napsterites in disguise I wonder?

as i mentioned a few posts back, we're in an open forum, so we'll pick up anyone who stops by and wants to d/l off our stuffed hds. as of right now we're at over 3gigs/user on both servers, still high for p2p but WAY DOWN from last week. if we start to see the share rates really drop we can go invitation only - address via pm. but in the meantime what say we enjoy our new guests.

What a great idea!
I´m in!

I'm sure the server can be set to 'registered users only'. Register users on the server, and only they can enter. Much better than secrecy

fantastic idea.. just dont forget to allow sharing of mpc files (as an alternative to mp3)

Is it better than secrecy? I've been on the out side of that (reg'ed users only) plenty of times, and it's no fun. Examples are GoMIG, VinylCountdown, players.myftp.biz, swissclassic.dns2go.com, and many more.

I don't believe that's what we're talking about. If you want to have a private server running, don't just make it a secret address, set the server to only let known (ie registered) people in.

The networks you mentioned are annoying, because they ARE private or restricted, and should not be listed in public directories. They just piss people off. If no one knows your server exists, and you want it that way, you can't really have unhappy potential users; there are none.

I use two: goldenrod and starkist. ~Must~ use the starkist one for one of those registered-user only servers and thought it best to use it for our Napsterite servers as well.

Schmooky said..... just dont forget to allow sharing of mpc files

I wish I knew what an MPC file was?

I think most servers do not care what file types you share, they are rightly concerned about content of course, hence some do put limits on things like .AVI .MPG .DIVX etc.

Generally its the client that imposes limits, but there are ways of getting round that anyway, just disguise all files as MP3, the classic method on Napster was to "Wrap" them, with a fake MP3 header, programs to encode & decode became quite sophisticated in the end, do a search with the key "Wrapster" and you will find all sorts.

It's a bit of a chicken & egg situation though, you always need a decoder to start you off, at one tme there were sites available for downloading decoders, today most appear as "Wrapster" files anyway.

If you run a firewall, that may be an issue. If you got a firewall, to verify if its the problem or not, you would have to try and share with the firewall app shutdown and see if that happens. If you are not using a firewall, there could be other issues like your port settings etc..

>>>'Schmooky said..... just dont forget to allow sharing of mpc files

I wish I knew what an MPC file was?'<<<

mpc (or musepack) is an alternative "lossy" compression format to mp3. the main difference between mp3 and mpc is that mp3 (along with ogg and aac) are all transform codecs, while mpc is a subband codec. when compared with mp3, mpc files sound more clear and crisp with higher tonal purity, less distortion, and no artifacts like pre and post echo (both of which are a big problem for mp3), and ringing-like artifacts at high frequencies also go bye bye

Thanks for that, I'll need to do some more reading I expect, I'll give them a try, If I can find a coder/decoder set.

Ringing transients are a bit problem certainly on the lower sample rates like 32k used for the Old Time Radio and humour stuff, percussive and explosive artifacts always cause problems, needing editing at the WAV level which is time consuming.

"Subband codec" Hm... better look that one up?

Snark...

[theflaco]

Mmm..
Talking about file types, I share some mp3-pro files,
How do you see that?
They show as 96 bitrate. But they are mp3-pro.
Now I write in the song name that it´s a mp3-pro.

Can I have some examples to search for?

Some servers are real fussy and reject files wih sample rates below 128k, I know that from experience wih my 32 & 64kbit
humour files.

I wish you luck: Of course the napsterite servers have NO SUCH
restriction (I hope)

Deep Dish - @Triple-J-Sydney
