This NG is unfortunatelly full of idiots who like to rip the piss out of MX.
Use MX and post your specific probelms. End of day I would not use MX to
download large files normally. Yes BT has taken over there. Small mp3 files
sometimes rare then it is still good. I use the lot limewire, Emule (takes
ages but often good stuff), Bit torrent (great if the seed shares),
Newsgroups (awesome), DC++ (newbie in that) they are all good... BTW
apologies if my previous post was a bit ranting and you are genuine.
