why do I only see AVI videos? who still uses AVI today? I don't think that's right, I think the program is some how limited in the types of files it scans. why is it like that?

As you can add any type of file in the library and search for any type of file I dont understand what it is your complaining about, take a peek through the different types of search and the settings dialogues and perhaps all shall become clear to you .

I am searching all file types, but all I see are avi, mp3, and rar. I mean who still uses avi as video containers?

xvid dvdrips use avi .... but the last version of winmx was made 6 yrs ago... so its not going to be looking for mp4 matroska and ogv...

theres also the issue of the 2gb filesize limit with winmx... this is where the multipart .rars come in handy...

Many, Many, Many people still use .avi filetypes. Lots of us are sensible enough we dont need semi-proprietary formats, nor are we sucked-in by all the Apple gimme-gimme and me-tooing

Emule

I tried Emule to check out its methods, lets just say I wasnt impressed with its sharing methods that imposed a major burden on new folks and gave priority to those who faked their stats, knowing just how easy it is to do such things I gave up on the program, I like to have a fair roll of the dice and actually get a file or two fair and square, something I cant say I ever experienced in my tests.
