Alas, me, we couldn't fix krb's problem either.
Something is changing for winmx users and it's not good. I'm fairly sure it is now being efficiently sorted out from various ISPs out-going traffic. If folks can download, they may stay with the service so it's in the provider's best interests to allow it. Uploading, on the other hand, could cause the ISP some legal problems, depending on the type of packets being sent, and so commonly used (or abused?) P2P clients' packets are being filtered.
The only real fixes at present seem to be:
1. Change of provider or
2. Change of P2P client
The second option is cheaper but still not guaranteed. If an ISP is filtering P2P packets, it's probably filtering them from a lot of different client software.

The AUP goes on to say "This includes, without limitation, material protected by copyright (see DMCA) , trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right used without proper authorization, and material that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws. MC will cooperate with law enforcement if illegal activity is suspected." ....and, more worryingly....

Basically... this provider is closed.
