Uploads just wait and wait and timeout

[Lovepeaceguru]

Although my searches are producing plenty of results and queuing, d/ls just aren't happening.  Also u/ls come in by the plenty but none actually connec.  Any suggestions?

Hi LovePeaceGuru,

I know we have talked about a few things, cant remember if the fake files is one of them or not.  Many folks know about the -c: filter trick but those are almost non existant at this time so use the -user filter instead or use both like I do.

Here is more information. Have a look here and try this, then if your still having problems let me know.  Also you may wish to find a user you know from say your uploads or a chat room and try to download from them..

The other problem about uploads not working sounds like your WinMX ports are set up incorrectly.
The easiest way to fix this would be to use the connection wizard in WinMX, but after resurrecting WinMX, this wizard was set out of order, so instead, have a look at these pages:

Info about firewalls, if you have a firewall installed:
https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/firewall.html
Info about routers if you have a router:
https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/routers_info.html

If you can't seem to figure it out after reading these pages, open Settings in WinMX, click on "Incoming TCP Connection", then select the lower option "Unable to accept incoming TCP connections"
This will make your WinMX tell you can't accept incoming connections, so those who try to upload from you won't try to connect to you. Instead your WinMX will connect to them for the transfers to work. But this also means others with the same settings as you can't download from you, and you can't download from them.
After the settings have been changed, restart your WinMX and see if it works.
Good luck.
