Usually my connection with WinMX is virtually instant, but I have tried 3 or 4 times in the last 10 minutes and I cant get any connection at all!!

I hope this isnt true!! Theres not many file sharing programmes left!!!

I just researched it on the net. I've been trying to connect for a few days now, and finally found out that they've been shut down!!

As far as I'm concerned, the record industry has been ripping me off for years.
I don't call it stealing....I call it getting even.

Where the fuck is MY Rolls Royce?

I had to format my computer last week and just got round to putting WinMX back on to it.

I couldnt believe it when they were wanting to charge me. mad
I thought Winmx was really good but i thought AudioGalaxy was better and the got rid of that too.

I have discovered that Limewire is quite good and it seems to be a lot faster than Winmx.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

Who the fuck are you to determine how much money people should make? Apparantly if it hits some level in your head then you are allowed to steal. Shit everyone involved with walmart is in the top 10 richest people on the planet list...perhaps you should go steal from them (Target Corp makes a lot of money as well).

Admit it...you are justifying theft.

It's theft for sure....but I don't care. They've stolen from me for years. My opinion is my opinion, who the fuck are YOU to tell me what my opinion can or cannot be? The nerve of some people...rolleyes

They have only "stolen" from you because you let them, no one asked you to buy their products!

Why do they only discuss MP3s that people are sharing? I've gotten other files from the WinMX network, and I could care less about MP3s anymore. confused
