WinMX Patch – Community Style – Released

Posted in Linux, WinMX, Windows, reviews, software by snick512 on September 23, 2008

Well, after several weeks of testing. Probably months with alpha’s or whatever, WinMX Patch Parties finally decided to release the patch on the “death” of WinMX – September 23, 2005 – September 23, 2008.

The patch was written by Eagle who has made the patch very reliable. Not to mention the backsides.. being trustworthy, etc. Eagle is a trusted programmer within the WInMX community. So no worries there.

 

The thing about this patch is, it’s not controlled by just one person, or group. It’s controlled by the user themselves. Which ever the users decide to slip into the configuration is what server they use. Which, there really isn’t much of a difference now, because the whole point of the community patch was to bring all patch parties together – To serve all at once without hassle of confusion.

 

So with the protection of the DLL (Fake file blocking, filtering of the flooders, etc), each cache/user is protected – No matter which they use.

 

I’ve tested out the patch while it was in beta stages, and it worked very well. But to be honest, I have yet to try the final release as of 23.08. Eh, I will have to. But it’s obviously working fine.

Only one thing is that Upnp is a very small problem. Some routers don’t work right with UpNp or routers don’t have upnp enabled by default. But that’s, like I said, a very small problem. Easily enable’able.

 

Good Luck, WinMX!
