b.true,

Get your WinMX back via either one of these links:
http://www.winmxunlimited.net/em/winmx353.exe
http://www.winmxunlimited.net/em/winmx354beta4.zip

Install your dl and then you'll need to replace a file that sits
(depending on your OS) in your Windows directory or a couple of
subdirectories down. That file goes by the name "hosts" and can be used
(when replaced or edited correctly) to help WinMX connect to the new
peer cache servers.
I suggest you dl a patch that comes with an installer (latest
revision!) to automate the replacement of that "hosts" file for you:

Good luck,
