Re: WinMX , Down again?

I'm shocked people still used WinMX. The program is older than dirt. It was ripe to be shut down.

Even prior to shutdown WinMX had the best quality Lame encoded Mp3s around and lotsa obscure tracks.

Lime Wire with its huge user base sadly still doesn't have those files. Hope lives: Resurrecting WinMX

Re: WinMX , Down again?

WinMX was the second best P2P I ever used and liked. I hope with this HOSTS file it will stay alive much longer.

Re: WinMX , Down again?

It's great to hear that WinMx is back up again but will the RIAA go after them again?
