Can't work WinMX? While there are likely genuine connection issues, I
doubt that there are very many who are affected by them. Mostly you've
got people with perfectly workable set-ups who are too lazy to even
look for potential solutions to their problem.

As a longtime sharer, I doubt that sharing is ceasing - rather we've
got a smaller number of more efficient sharers, and still have to wade
through the knuckleheads. That 100 percent of that "90 percent" (which
is likely nowhere near that high) probably comprises people who 1)
don't understand the basic principles of AFS/AEQ, 2) who try to use
Open Nap, yet don't understand how that works; 3) give up at the first
red-out; 4) never try to manually enter queues; 5) are fans of really
crappy music which (in this age of American Idol) is also popular and
therefore more likely to be faked and 6) are leeching (I have to have
files to share files? No freakin way!!!).

Unlike Limewire which is full of people who couldn't get WinMX to work.
You hear these people moaning on the LimeWire NG - I tried WinMX, boy
that was tough.

....most of them being trojans and other malware.
