What's up with WinMX?

[NotMyBest2Day]

What's going on with that network? The website is gone, primary and secondary connections don't work. This was something that just happened overnight two nights ago. I can't find any press releases about it anywhere, unless I'm not looking hard enough. Just wondering if anyone on here knew.

THE MAN got to them?

I was thinking that, but haven't found anything to back that idea up. I'm using opennap networks right now, but that's just trying to tide me over until the other network comes back online.

Well, in my searching for info about it, I saw something on MSN Search up in the "featured" section at the top about something like $1 unlimited DLs WinMX or something along those lines.

Did it again:

WinMX Downloads: $0.99 per Month - www.winmx-muzic.com
Download WinMX Now - Only $1 a Month - www.winmx-software-download.com
Download WinMX Now - $1 a Month - mp3downloadhq.com


Well. That sucks. Time to find another network/program that I like.

Man that sucks. :( I always used WinMX. :mad: I guess that is life. Let me know if you find a good one.

Yeah, WinMX was the only one I trusted. There's tons of them out there, but I don't like any of them. On the OpenNap networks, the MOTD (message of the day) says to go get Winlop (aka Lopster), and I did....you want to talk about confusing, that one takes the trophy. I'm just going to keep using WinMX with the OpenNap networks, that works plenty fine for me. There are two downsides to using those networks though: 1) No multi-source DLing; 2) You actually have to share files.

I've got the second one covered..I'm sharing a folder I call "installers". It's freeware and shareware installations. The same thing you can go to the companys' website and get. It's legal sharing and it lets me get on the networks.
