WinMX dead!!!

As of yesterday, WinMX collapsed. Both the website and the p2p network no longer works due to a "cease and desist" order from the RIAA. Found this out because I couldn't connect. But all is not lost; there is a fix [and it works!!]

    I think they got it a couple of days ago. Don't worry though, just use OpenNap servers. Have a look at www.gotnap.com & NapMX for server lists http://speed47.chez.tiscali.fr/napmx/index.php

    tbh WinMX just be came flooded with fakes and has been for AGES! The only thing you could do was trade in chat rooms or use OpenNap servers which is what we are gonna have to do now. P2P will NEVER be stopped though!

    IRC owns all tbh :D.

    Limewire > WinMX. I discovered this a while back when I couldn't get a single version of "Kaiser Cheifs - Oh My God" that wasn't corrupt.
