I have been running MxMonitor since 2006-August and have been
quite happy with it. Occasionally I have observed some odd
entries in the log window but not enough to hook my curiosity
until last evening.

System:

Win98SE
WinMx v3.54 beta 4
MxMonitor v1.28Eb

Occasional observations:

User is successfully receiving a file according to the WinMx
upload window, but WhoIs information is not present
anywhere in the lower log window of MxMonitor.

Observation 2007-Jan-25

User on the Ignore list (user###_43631) returned later as
user###_63274 which, as I understand, allows them to be
treated as a new user, circumventing the Ignore list.

Here's where it gets strange:

According to MxMonitor the user started and successfully
completed 16 MP3 files over a 3 hour period, while WinMx has
NO RECORD of ANY activity by that user in it's upload window.
WinMx is set to NOT automatically clear the upload window and
I can find records of other user's uploads before and after the
activity in question. Time elapsed between "Start UL" and "UL
complete" in the MxMonitor log window is reasonable for a
complete transfer.

Has anyone else observed similar anomalies?


LeechHammer was a great upload manager but I have been unable to
get it to work with WinMx v3.54.
MxMonitor is good and has more features than LeechHammer
(except detection of the Zero Slot Hack, 0 of 0 available).

Are there any other upload managers available? I see only the two
aforementioned utilities on the WinMxWorld site.
