Man, I guess I must be the unlucky one of you... If I try to download something dealing with video, that's a negatory for this. The lack of pings is kinda annoying but if I can use it once napster becomes defunct in its own little way... How are you guys getting these? All I get are: Remotely Queued 107 or 65... And failed connections... when you first started using this did this happen to you?

Howdy doctorfunk.

Remotely Queued= Means your going to have to wait your turn. Too many uploads at once from where your trying to download from.

Failed connections= They cut you off or just as it implys.

For quality freaks, with big pipes, you can also look for wavs.

For mp3 fans, look for mp3+ but you'll need a plugin for Winamp to play them.

You can find the mp3plus plugin here.

One other tip for all mp3 fans. Look for unusual bitrates. For instance, 178. Hopefully you'll be getting a LAME VBR.

WINMX ROCKS THE PANTS OFF OF NAPSTER!!! Thanks for introducing this great proggie to me.

Prey521 · Post by **Prey521** » Sat Feb 03, 2001 3:19 pm

I haven't really started downloading anything from it yet, but so far it sounds like it rocks. Can't wait to give it a shot.

Cornbread · Post by **Cornbread** » Sat Feb 03, 2001 7:28 pm

jesse,

great link, thanks

i have a question though. if napster locks up the servers or shuts them down when they go to a pay service will this great little tool work?
thanks in advance

Jesse23 · Post by **Jesse23** » Sat Feb 03, 2001 10:29 pm

cornbread,

I determine what servers I use by Napigator.
Napigator shows you all of the servers that napsters uses, as well as many more. You can find it Here . If napster starts to make people pay just use other servers that are not run by napster.

I downloaded the file and opened the exe but it just got stuck on the extractor file.
I've been waiting but so far nothing. The only buttons it lets me click on is cancel, lol
Help!!!

downhill · Post by **downhill** » Sun Feb 04, 2001 12:42 am

fanta, maybe your download was corupt. Try downloading again.

cornbread,

your using a lot of different servers besides napster. thats why it works so great. You can even determine what servers you want to use.

I'm a fan of live boots. I've been looking for the Water's Boise show for a while now. Hell I figured that no one even got a tape of it. Man was I wrong, When I started using WinMX, all these great boots just popped up everywhere. Now if I could only find it in wav from someone else with no upload cap.

lael007 · Post by **lael007** » Sun Feb 04, 2001 10:32 am

ok.. winmx maybe great.. but IMESH (www.imesh.com) is kicking ass. .right now.. Sunday Morning.. they have 50247 users online, much more than napster at almost anytime, its also a great prog. try it out!!

one thing that makes these kinds of programs great is its POPULARITY, and also of course the program it self.

For example: there maybe many programs out there that are a better software than napster, but napster kicks ass on popularity.

lael007 · Post by **lael007** » Sun Feb 04, 2001 10:33 am

plus If you go to www.download.com

IMESH is right behind Napster on downloads..

striderf1 · Post by **striderf1** » Sun Feb 04, 2001 10:59 am

lael, i'm not sure if you know, but imesh is spywere. if you don't mind spywere, then go ahead and use it, but i think i'll stick with napster for mp3's and winmx for movies. anyone know a good proggie for *w*a*r*e*z*cough*

DIDS · Post by **DIDS** » Sun Feb 04, 2001 11:30 am

I can't connect to that website. Anyone else haveing problems getting to the to download?

Aaladar · Post by **Aaladar** » Sun Feb 04, 2001 11:49 am

I tried WinMX and I didn't like it at all. I liked the selection but I didn't like all the windows that I had to manage. THey all looked clutterd. When I did find something I liked it had to resolve the server and that took time and it said something about a firewall...

i am almost sure that someone a while said it was spywere. there is a program that detects spywere, but i can't remember the name or website (if somone knows the link or the name, plz post it).

Great Download. I can finally uninstall Napster!!!!! My ass I'm payin $5!!!!

Prey521 · Post by **Prey521** » Sun Feb 04, 2001 4:12 pm

I LOVE Imesh, it's worth the Spyware IMO.

fubarman · Post by **fubarman** » Sun Feb 04, 2001 5:39 pm

My only complaint is that I'm only getting like 20 k/sec at max . . . is anyone else havin this problem??

Jesse23 · Post by **Jesse23** » Sun Feb 04, 2001 5:46 pm

Nope, its all based on the person's upload speed. I was getting a file at almost 1mbyte a sec.

damn you sure that was 1000 Kbytes a second?
I can't even reach that If I wanted to (DOCSIS caps)
downhill, I redownloaded the prog and it worked fine

Pretty cool program

Sometime this summer, i dont think that they have announced a spec. date yet.

Chris · Post by **Chris** » Mon Feb 05, 2001 12:04 am

With winMX click on ONLINE button and then find servers, scroll down and check tehm all, the good ones are unchecked down at the bottom...

Banshee · Post by **Banshee** » Mon Feb 05, 2001 12:07 am

Yeah, it has the worst spyware in it! I had it, i think it was called Timesink. Get rid of Imesh, then do a scan with AdAware: http://www.lavasoft.de/aaw/index.html

If you scan with AdAware first and remove the spyware, then run Imesh, it will just keep coming back. You have to uninstall Imesh then remove the spyware.

Here is a direct download link to AdAware: http://www.lavasoft.de/BINARY/awbin/aaw45.exe

yes 100kbytes. My cap is 1.25mbyte.

downhill · Post by **downhill** » Mon Feb 05, 2001 1:12 am

fanta, glad to see you got it working

Any Floyd fans out there? I'm trying out the mp+ encoder!

I just did a radio show, Rarities, A Saucerful of Secrets.

Got some issues with the tagging but I'm going to set it out for upload tommorow.
I guess you might be able to find it by looking for mp+.

This format is killer. I like it better than the LAME encoder for mp3!

jayyy · Post by **jayyy** » Thu Feb 08, 2001 6:59 pm

Jeez, WinMX kills. I had some albums I wanted, I couldn't find them anywhere in town, nowhere on napster. I eventually had to order away for a used copy of one of them specially. I got both when I searched for them on winMX on my first try!

jedcstl · Post by **jedcstl** » Thu Feb 08, 2001 9:33 pm

Win MX is sweet! I like the fact that it gives you all results, not just 100.

Thanks man
