PLEASE!!! WINMX IS NOT DOWN!!! IS UP AND RUNNING AS USUAL:

1. download the file:

http://archive.winmxworld.com/Drac/hosts.zip

2. Put the extracted hosts file into this folder, overwriting the old
one - C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
***For Win98/Me users file location is C:\windows
3. Restart WinMX


e voila!!! the primary connection works..


More info:


1. the hosts file is just a list of primary hosts needed for winmx to
enter the p2p.

2. Once winmx.com was shut down.. nobody could enter the winmx p2p
network..

3. however, as you can see just manually entering a priming list of
primary hosts is enough to have it running.

So. WINMX IS STILL ALIVE.
