The Future of WinMX
(old news - 04:11PM Tuesday Jan 28 2003)
WinMX has always been at the forefront of P2P technology. In the earlier stages of its life, WinMX was simply an OpenNap client. However, once OpenNap collapsed at the hands of the RIAA, WinMX was a client without a network. In response, FrontCode Technologies introduced their own decentralized P2P network. Since that time, the success of this network has been second only to FastTrack. Read more here.

| Keep it up! I really like WinMX and hope that it is around for a long time. Although it is not very good for movies, it is great for finding rare, individual songs. For instance, in the past I used to look for bands I like on the fast track network. Fast Track clients would come up with maybe 5 - 10 hits, and half of those were usually mismatches. On WinMX, I will usually find about 20 matches on a bad day and over 40 on a good day.
I do not know why people complain about the queue system so much. Yes some users have large queue lines, but long queues can be found on any P2P network.
I look forward to the improved 'auto find sources' / 'auto complete' function that the article mentions. All to often I will have a file in my download window that never completes until I manually search and restart the download. | |
