morpheus redux.

thank-you dead and dying assh*les of the us supreme court (soon to be replaced by healthy assh*les).

i'm sure snarkridden will have an interesting story about this. meanwhile if you've neglected the magical music box known as soulseek lately - better use it while you still can. when that one shuts down it's going to stay down i'm afraid.

almost worth moving to canada to start them up again.

woah, did i just say that?

There's already a way to run the WPN with a modified host file.

There's already a way to run the WPN with a modified host file.

1) Download a new host file from this URL: http://205.238.40.1/hosts/hosts

2) After downloading the "hosts" file (is a windows file included in the system) we can proceed.

3) Now paste the new file "hosts" in the Windows directory respective to its version:

For Windows 95/98/Me the directory is c:\windows\hosts

For Windows NT/2000/XP Pro the directory is c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

For Windows XP Home the directory is c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Now we can replace the "hosts" file.

4) For Win2k & XP users, sometimes may be necessary use the command "ipconfig /flushdns" from the command prompt.

5) Now, open WinMx and try to connect with primary connection!

Luca, the administrator of P2Pzone.net, tells Slyck.com this is a temporary fix and the developers are working on a more permanent solution. From public reaction so far and from our own testing, this method works exceedingly well. WinMX fans will certainly have a place to call home once again.

for those of you already using hosts files for various address hacks (doubleclick, ads at google, fasttrack etc), following the site's instructions will erase your present file. you can avoid this by opening the new hosts file in notepad and copying the content below the line

# eliminated all togeather - SABre'911

and pasting it into your present hosts file, saving and closing.

Putting this dll in the WinMX folder seems to work for people who couldn't connect the hosts file way.

The WinMX community is back, the files are back, and the users are taking a stand. Get connected Today.

It is time for the RIAA to understand that they cannot destroy filesharing by intimidation any longer. They may be able to bully Corporations, but the users are not going to sit by and let it happen.

MXPIE is an effort by the users and for the users, with an agenda of making WinMX a p2p network not only for the users, but maintained, organized and perpetuated by the people.

Come Join us, we believe that we can make a difference in this fight to take away our rights. We welcome all of those who are tired of going from one p2p network to another simply because the RIAA flexed its billions of dollars worth of muscles.

MXPIE is quick, easy and free to use, it contains no spyware, adware or any other form of malware. We even provide a manual modification that allows you to see exactly what is being done that only takes minutes to do yourself.

Another site worth note is Computer Problem Help Forum, this site has also been at the forefront of this movement, and can help you with any general computer problem that may or may not be related to WinMX.

Check out the MXPIE Website for everything you need.

I hope to see you on WinMX soon! Realtime help is available for WinMX 3.53 users. Go to WinMX Channels.
