With the old WinMX, on a T1 connection I was getting songs at about 80-100 k/second and with the new WinMX they have been downloading at about 10-40 k/second so it has been taking so much longer. They now have it set so that if more than one person have the same file, you can download it from both of them at the same time for faster speed. It’s almost like a traffic light to tell you when to go. The design while it’s connecting to the Internet looks like it’s for little kids. Well to my disappointment this may have been new, but it definitely wasn’t improved. WinMX had their newest update, and I was ready for the new and improved version. A pole taken at Cabrini showed Kazaa to be the most popular used program right now. WinMX and Kazaa are the two most popular programs right now. I categorize file-sharing programs into three categories: WinMX, Kazaa, and any other program. I had even tried another program called Kazaa, but at the time Kazaa just wasn’t as good as WinMX. I used to use WinMX like crazy to download music because I trusted it the most and got files so fast using it. Updates usually greatly improve thing, but not for WinMX, a file-sharing program that used to be one of the best in my mind.
