I'd suggest you go look around on www.winmxworld.com for some help. It
sounds like you've got the connection patch, since you can actually get on
to the network, but if not, they'll point you to it.
A big problem with WinMX, from my experience, is the prevelence of 'fake'
files flooded into the network, particularly with more popular/current
songs. You can try searching with "-user" in one of your search boxes to
eliminate the fakes, but you then lose the convenience of narrowing searches
and will be a bit deflated in the amount of files now available to you.

I've been using Warez with some success. I enjoyed Ares while I was using
it -- good availability of some more semi-obscure stuff, but began having
incredibly frustrating connection issues soon after. Warez is kinda like a
clone of Ares, uses the same network, and hasn't given me any connection
problems. I don't seem to have the same success in file availability, but I
still have more than I do with WinMX, typically. Probably better options
out there, but I'm not exactly Mr. Tech-savvy, either.
