Hi there, my problem has only started recently. I have been using WinMX for years so it is not a new connection problem. I connect OK to the site and when I select any music file to downoad, I apear to connect ok (connected...negotiating) then my connection once accepted turns blue as normal. I get as far as 0% of the download then I appear to lose connection and it just cuts off. Very frustrating! Please help!!

Hi Nellyo

As a primary user you must also run Peerguardian here is a tutorial on installing it: Peerguardian tutorial http://www.gemini777.net/tutorials/pg.php

While in primary mode what are the numbers for P=? S=? that you see at the top of winmx? Did you change anything latley that would of caused the problems like change service or add ewuipment?

Hi MONI950

The only thing I can think of its that I deleted my cookies on the advice or another website technician as I was unable to access that particular website. I was instructed to delete my cookies add this other webside tom my safe list. Could that have caused my problem? That seems to be the only change I have made. I tried to restore to a previous date to undo the changes but this did not help.

the P= and S= keep changing....number is not static..

Regards

numbers will vary but P=6 and s=9 is optimum s=0 is a blocked port and needs to be forwarded.
