Hmmm - I've never been able to connect as a primary, I'm still connected
as a secondary, and I'm working fine, again. Perhaps I should not read
such threads, as I'm getting confused.

I was going to post a question, because it seemed that nobody was
downloading from me since I "fixed" WinMX, but somebody just did DL one
song, so I guess I am just seeing the reduced traffic effect. I hope
that's temporary. I'd rather wait in a queue for a HTF song than see
users go elsewhere.

Anyway, thanks to all who patiently post with those of us who aren't so
savvy about the ways of the e-world.
