WinMx very slow with cable

Post by Daves World »

Just recently upgraded to cable internet with a Linksys router. I can't seem to download anything using WinMX 3.31. It starts to download a song (very slow I might add) and then disconnects. It will do this with any song I choose. During installation of WinMx it came up with an error " WinMX is unable to receive incoming TCP connections from the internet " If I go into the settings "unable to accept incoming TCP connections " is enabled, Any suggestions ?

I think it's something to do with winmx itself...I've noticed on a few occasions that my system will bog down to a stand still, and, after closing winmx, the system will be up and running as fast as ever...
