Over your life on the internet, you may hvae encountered programs such as LimeWire, Kazaa, BearShare, and the OLD Napster. All of these programs branhced from WinMX.
WinMX was truly awesome! More awesome than Ozai! More awesome than what you believe Zutara to be! More awesome than avatar, dare I say!
WinMX started it all. IT worked simply. You either had a primary or secondary connection. If you had a high speed connection (few did back then) you werw primary. Otherwise, youw ere secondary., and had to connect through another primary user.
Then the progra'm connected to WinMX's servers quickyl to tell every other computer "HERE I AM!!!!!"
Then you searched for a song. You name it, they had it! Hundred of copies! Pick the best one, and you were well on your ways to getting it! Besides, that artist won't miss your 99 cents anyway! After all, only only 10 of those cents go to the artist!
Here is the big dellema... on Sepetember 21st, a Monday, if I recall, of 2005, WinMX was told to shut down. So, WinMX pulled the plug on the peer chache, the server your computer shouts "HERE I AM" to. With out it, nobody will hear "HERE I AM!!!!"
BBut thanks to the livley community, a bunch of technicly savvy users developed thier own peer chace, and a patch that makes WinMXpoint ot thier servers, and suddenly the the internet was filled with "HERE I AM!!!!" once more!
Will you help bring back WinMX? The community is already huge, but since the original code isn't in existence, nobody can host the fileunles they have the install files, (I have them, I'll email them to you), and nobyd can make a new version... but 3.3 works just fine.
All you have to do is patch it, and your on your way to free music.. the clasic way!
LimeWire and BEarShare are clogged with viruses, bad music, and prn. And governmental agents, when tyou download a file, they fetch your IP address. A government employee, or FBI agent can easily take your IP,a nd know you home address.
Then your busted. But with WinMX, the government just don't care!
If you want to enjoy this wonderful community, PLEASE PM me! I will email you the files needed!
As soon asI get that new coldplay song!
