any one know why it isn't working, and is there anything else to use.

 

Think its been shut down mate

 

i know that they where trying to get people to pay for it a couple of months back.

 

it shut down opene dup pay per download

i use limewire very good and free sorry dont have link but do a google search

 

Cheers i'll give limewire a try

 

is really good m8 i got about 1500 tuunes from there now

 

I used to swear by WinMX but ive been recently converted to eMule thanks to christian!! Bit hard to get used to after the simplicity of WinMX but its worth it in the end!!

whats it mean by firewall to firewall transferes does that mean they can't be tracked.

 

Nah, sometimes when people are behind a firewall, it will not allow you to download of another person behind a firewall

If it came to P2P I would say Limewire but it is worth paying the 12 quid or whatever it is! Other than that I use Newsgroups

 

is it the top ones are the fastest like Winmx aswell

 

Win MX was issued a cease and desist order. All the file sharing programs are being issued over the next few months.

 

interesting... so limewires days are numbered?

RW

 

P2P will die! Thats why newsgroups are better

Try usenet/news, or maybe BitTorrent (for as long as that'll last)...

 

U make it sound so sad

 

Just thought i would get some of elvis's and bob dylans stuff, started apealing to me after endless hours of llisting to GnR's Knocking on heavens door, and Petshop boys, your are always on my mind

 

I use Usenetserver

It is not free, but then using a site called newzbin you can get anything you want reallyand it will max out your modem 24/7

If anybody wants any more info then feel free to PM me

 

how easy is usenet to use?

 

It is pretty easy once you get the hang of it!

It is a case of searching on the site for something! Then you can open the file it will provide! this in turn will open up your newsreader and begin the downloading

Look here for a small guide

 

i was using emule but found it getting slower and slower so now converted to bittorrent, loads better

 

i use morpheus its brilliant apart from the fact that it takes up nearly all my 2mb broadband bandwidth
