problems with winmx
after installing windows 2000, i have this new problem.
say I downloading a file from 15 different people, as winmx allowes multi-source downloading, but after i downloaded the file to a certain percentage, everyone starts disconnecting at the same time. when I click on every 15 of them to retry, about 7 of them will disconnect again, and the remaining 8 will also disconnect, but with the message "file mismatch" it is quite annoying as many of my files are disconnected by the time i reach 80-odd percent. anyone knows what the problem is? any help would be appreciated, thanks. |

That's strange. Mayve you were downloading from someone with an incomplete file? WinMX shares partial files still downloading, so a lot of the sources are incomplete.

thanks all for the advice, I still get the same problem nowadays.. it's not only one person but all of them get disconnected at the same time esp when the files reach 99% =P
but now I've reinstalled winmx 2.6 seems that w/o the multi-source downloading it works fine now =) i've tried winmx 3.2 and realise that it ssems to be a diff server meaning users using winmx 3.1 cannot share files with those using 3.2, that suck, so don't download it ferst.. also i suspect winmx alters the system files, not sure but it may be the reason why my comp freezes randomly |

Many people, me included, have encountered the 99 % bug in WinMX 3.1. The file downloads ok to 99 % but all efforts to resume it even from the original source fail. This can be really annoying especially if you are downloading a big zipped file or a movie. The only cure I found was to switch back to 2.6. I haven't tested 3.2 yet to see if the bug still exists there. - tg |

thanks for letting me know about this, glad to know that it isn't the problem of my computer. =)
version 3.2 still has the same problem though, and worse still it has much less results from version 3.1, i suspect those using 3.1 and 3.2 are at different servers which explains the low result count. so ppl don't download version 3.2, yet! stick to 3.1 or 2.6 =) |

I must say I have never seen the 99% complete problem myself though. Regarding your Win2000 problems, did you upgrade your memory when you loaded 2000? my friend tried to install it with 64 meg that worked fine with 98, but all hell let lose on 2000 until he added another 64meg? Snark.. P.S check the VCACHE line in SYSTEM.INI sometimes adding a pair of statements min_cache=4096 max_cache=32768 seems to work, please check the precice command terms I'm going from memory. Edit: Found it MinFileCache=4096 MaxFileCache=32768 Set the upper limit at one quarter of your max memory size, entries shown are for a 128 meg system add these in the [vcache] section of system.ini |

I've seen the 99% bug too. Last night some guy downloaded a song from me and then at 99% it said Connection Closed, and he kept trying to finish the file, at one point appearing in my queue twice. An inordinate ammount of the incomplete files that appear in every search say 99% as well. Reminds me of Napster Beta 4.

It's OK I didn't understand what I wrote either, If you are running any of the WinMx 3 versions, check out your upload completes, turn of the auto-clear so you get a good list of completed files, check out the file sizes, and tell me if Im wrong or just going MAD.... Please! Examples from here (last 3 only) 166 of 159 745 of 737 843 of 835... this seems to be a common factor, winMx have said NOTHING in three or four reports throughout the whole of the 31 beta series. I know that does NOT answer the problem, but it defines it beter (maybe) Snark... |
