Topic: RIAA...WinMX Posted: September 22 2005 at 05:52 |
Noticed in news reports that the RIAA has successfully forced Frontcode
to turn off the WinMX servers. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Sorry to hear that, Snow Dog, but don't forget WinMX is also an OpenNap client.

Limewire was also one of the companies to get the cease and desist
order that shut WinMX- better start looking for another client

I wonder if slsk'll ever get threatened - I really do hope not because it'd be very unfair on the developers (for those unfamiliar, slsk was genuinely programmed and released as a legal, underground electronica filesharing network. It's only in the last few years that illegal downloaders have jumped on the program - including me )

REAL bad! WinMx was great! So many rare prog-related files, from not
only America, but from all continents. And I discovered so many more
prog artists that I would never have know about otherwise. I stated a
similar thread about this in the non-prog discussion area too. I did a
news search on this, and WinMx may move their operations from Canada to
somewhere in the South Pacific and could be up and running again within
a few months. Let's all pray this is true!

I agree with youi Dennis, I've got a lot of good Prog stuff from WinMx. For layout and ease of use I believe its unrivalled!

I hear there's one called soulseek which beats everything (if only it weren't blocked on the campus network ) Does anyone know any way I can use a different port to get through, by the way? It's the same with Shareaza which I use for torrents.
