Supra doopra Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Just wondered how many ppl on here used win mx for downloading music and films. I have heard that the feds in the states are clamping down and fining ppl and removing harddrives that are connected with using win mx software and who are activlely downloading from the site. Does anyone use this site and if so are u removing from your computer or are you carrying on using win mx Any thoughts and advice appreciated cheers...........craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Huh? What site? I haven't used WinMX for years, isn't it still P2P? I pretty much only only use torrents or binary NGs for films, apps, albums etc nowadays. Does WinMX have any advantage over torrents or usenet other than ease of searching? I'm sure it's great for single music tracks ...but for large downloads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I use limewire, which I find a lot better... But what ever you use I suggest getting 'peer gaurdian' form a site called methlabs.. it has a database of all the 'bad guys'... It is pretty good, but obviously not bullet proof...

Trig Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I use win mx. Havent tried anything else tbh but its ok for what i want. Think its pretty good for big files. But thats IMO of course. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Use both WinMX and Emule as well, I know of one person who's been warned by their ISP twice for P2P film sharing Never had any warning from my ISP yet although I don't leave it on all day and only download when I want a certain track* or album* * obviously those that are free to obtain as I'd never download an mp3 of ripped music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
