Important WinMX Information:
######WARNING:######
*Sharing Copyrighted Software, Movies, or Music is Illegal!*
*Protect your self from being procecuted!*
Do not let people who are not sharing flies download from you!
These people who do not share files could be the MPAA, RIAA, BSA,
SIIA*, or other associations/businesses trying to bust you! By law
these groups cannot share illegal files when they use file
sharing networks like WinMX to catch those who share copyrighted
material.
######Tips to Downloading######
**Share files! Many people will cancel your download or make you
wait endlessly in their queue unless you share files. WinMX is
based around the idea that people SHARE. You cannot only take
take take. NO FREELOADING!!! *Zero tolerance on freeloading!*
**Share better files! If you only share mp3s, then many people
will only let you download mp3s in return. If you want to
download movies and software, then share that in return.
Don't tortue people sharing software by making them look through 3000 mp3s
** Create Separate Folders for Sharing Software /Mp3s /Avi get the idea
then when your looking to get software only share software and so on
**Do not share crap! e.g. Do not share incomplete files, useless
system files, etc. This slows down the entire
network.
**If you are downloading from someone who is in your queue, then
start their download immediately. If you do not you risk having
your download canceled.
**Browse the files of people who are downloading off of you. You
may find something you want to download and people who are
downloading off of you are more likely to start your download.
**Send messges to people. This increases the chances that your
your download will be started.
**Use NapMX (http://napmx.darkservers.net/) to connect to more servers.
This increases the people availible for you to download from.
**Tweak WinMX for faster downloads: Click 'Settings', 'Bandwidth
Throttle', uncheck both of the limit bandwidth boxes. If you
limit the outgoing download (e.g. people downloading from you),
then they will limit your download speed. Everyone looses.
**If possible leave your computer on and connected to WinMX 24/7.
You do not have to be sitting at your computer to download a
file.
**Share this file to spread the word!
*Notes: MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), RIAA
(Recording Industry Association of America), BSA (Business
Software Alliance), SIIA (Software Information and Inudstry
Association)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tweak for Fewer Time Outs:
If possible (you're not behind a firewall that blocks it and have no way of opening the port)
use the Listen on Port XXXX for incoming TCP connections in Settings, Connection,
Firewall/Network Settings. This will greatly reduce the number of Lost Connection and
TimeOuts waiting for incoming connection.
This of course all depends on what the other user has set. If everyone has these setting
we probably will not see Timeouts again. If you use Zone Alarm it will show two MX Icons
in the programs area, the one you see when using WinMX and the other if you move your
pointer over it will say something like Listening on port XXXX.
Hope it works for you as well as it has for me and many others.
========================================================================
If you want good stuff you must share good stuff.
Improve your shares for better (no boot, no cancel) access.
Guarantee your connectivity & higher priority.
Message me when fixed so you can download what you like.
Your download request may be cancelled until such time.
If you want to download better stuff
you must share better stuff than mp3's
By browsing every user who attempts to download.
You can filter out LAMERS who share nothing and
only LEECH from you. This will get you better stuff, faster.
Click the "Shared Files" folder at the top of your left screen
to see what you are sharing.
You will get PRIORITY access for having good shares.
PRIORITY =
1. Your request gets bumped to the top of the Que.
2. Your files are guaranteed to completion.
