WinZO is an alternative client for WinMX network.
It was developed for my own use, and lacks some features present in original client.
Written in C# with LINQ, requires .NET Framework 2.0 to operate.
Currently features secondary connection to WinMX network, searching, file uploads/downloads and private messages.
Doesn't require hosts file modification.

I think this shows that some folks are hard at work doing their bit to help breath fresh life into our network.

Cheers Amon

Thanks!

Since the first release I had almost no time for WinZO development, but anyway the next minor update is out. Features chat client, and not much else. Alas, no file browsing yet.

WinZO sources are also released, they are just a bit more human readable, than the decompiled output from Reflector

Cheers

I much appreciated you did not obfuscate it

You are really a great programmer, even though i don't like .net at all

I started a thread here yesterday when I noticed the new release

https://forum.winmxworld.com/index.php?topic=2063.0.html

Any newer releases will be posted there, but I,m pretty sure folks have noticed its release already

Thanks for popping by Amon, we all wish you good luck and a big thanks for your hard work

The feedback on it so far has all been positive

Amons project seems to be helping publicise the fact winmx is still operating

This is good news for us all, perhaps if others took up the coding of similar items we may well be able to get a more wider selection of open source code and fresh minds on the problems involved in such endeavours.

Cheers again Amon, your work is reaping much benefit for the winmx community

What ever happened to this?

Hi Jester, the basic answer to your question is Amon disappeared

The releases he did make are in the archive along with the source code for the last version he made (1.04), no one has been able to contact him and I know for certain many have tried.

There is one good peice of news though, another programmer called "Sir Moon" decided to take up the challenge and has been working on a project based on some of the WinZO code, besides the numerous bug fixes for things no one had even noticed yet, many new and improved features have been written in and this project is still "live" so we can expect some release in the future, I made mention of it in this post here.

I have seen some of the newer test versions of this already and they are impressive
