I am having trouble downloading any music on WINMX v3.53, songs go into the transfer window but time out or else they will download up to exactly 2,176 (kb or something I don't know!) then stop.. and all my uploads time out waiting for incoming connections.
Also when I search for an artist, it sometimes only comes up with loads of the same one song.
I have windows xp, and my internet is BT broadband.
Can anyone suggest how I can fix this please!?
Thanxxx
WINMX trouble downloading
Moderator: CricketMX Forum Moderators
Hello Claire, your problem sounds all too familiar right now... 
WinMX is being flooded right now with fake files.. especially popular artists.. I will give you a few links on the forum to check out and read up on what you can do to get the files your after.
But I will say this too, Just to make sure its not another problem..
Are you able to download any files?
Can people upload files from you?
If you are, and they do its probablly just the flooding causing you annoyance right now.
Heres the links for ya...
http://forums.cricketmx.com/viewtopic.php?t=1705. <-- info on how to get around the fakes.
http://forums.cricketmx.com/viewtopic.php?t=1742 <-- a list of the artists that we know they are targeting.
http://p2p-revolution.com/ <-- a new way to download from WinMX.
Also, have a look through the tutorials.. some of those might help you as well... and as always
Happy Hunting

thanks a lot for your help.
i can't actually download anything at the moment (even those that are not on your list as being flooded with fakes), and anyone trying to upload from me times out waiting for incoming connection.
there is no problem with my internet, as i can use email, messenger etc.
i don't know where to go from here!

Hi Claire, have you tried downloading off of someone in a chat room ?
That will let you know whether its a technical problem at your end or just the fakes problem, that is afflicting us at the moment .

Okay Claire we are here to help so ...lets get you fixed...hehe
The first thing is your firewall.. you say you are on Windows XP.. what firewall are you using?
Also, are you on a router?
How long has this been happening.. always.. or recently?
Get back to me and we'll have a go at some of this.. Also, feel free to stop by the CricketMX Help Room on winmx also.. for some live assistance if you would like.
It sounds like you have more than one issue going on so chatting might help you get up and running faster.
Hope to hear from you soon..

i'm not sure how to find out what firewall i'v got or if i'm on a router or whatever i'm a bit clueless when it comes to this, i think the live chatting thing might be more useful...if i could only find it! (now i sound REALLY stupid lol) can someone tell me how to get to it please!?
