What is wrong with WINMX

[BRADNEY]

There seems to be lots of files and none of them are downloadable. Can anyone help?

[JackSpratts]

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.

Thanks for that info - it is certainly getting hard to find good tracks

but not impossible. ambitious file-sharers can always stay a few steps ahead of soulless corporate drones. here's a primer on avoiding fakes at winmx.

Hi Ya Jonno!!!

[BRADNEY]

Hello my ferret-y friend how you doin' - have you got any new babies recently?

I am still getting on with life despite the stroke, I can't get around much, it gives me a lot of time to download music but the authorities in Britain are beginning to get their shameful act togrther , prosecuting children through their parents, they are easy target like motorists. Muggers burglars and rapists are all free to get on with REAL crime.

It is nice to see you are still a Napsterite - take care - JONNO1066

I haven't gotten any newbies just yet...Amber-Lynn, my oldest will be the big 6 tomorrow...promised her a few goodies. Nikki Taur turns 4 on July 9th.

I think I'll wait just a bit on a newbie, Ambi's vet bills are costly...not complaining, but I like the have the cash available when a fuzzie needs care too many ferrets wouldn't allow me to do that.

One of these days, I'll be so damn rich that I can then have my ferret sanctuary that I've always dreamed of Lucky Lottery Ticket Willing!!

Glad to see you back around, and despite your stroke, you seem to be your good ol' self

I've read where the BPI is getting sticky with dl'ing tunes....be careful, don't want you being one of em
