I'm using Windows 7 X64. My screen resolution is set as 1366x768. I have reported the bugs I mentioned here at the new forum. I will also post this info at the new forum to keep all info in one centralized location where it needs to be.

I have an account pending for aproval so I have to post this question here:
Is ourmx.exe o any other file of the program folder synchronized for auto-updates?

GhostShip · « **Reply #62 on:** October 19, 2013, 10:46:47 pm »

No , no part of the program has any autoupdate facility Synesthetize.

There will be an update notification added soonish but there's never going to be an auotmatic one in case the cartel try to criminally hijack the client update server as they did with Shareaza.

Searches work well but I couldn't download nor upload any single file yet, is it because this is just a "test" version?

there's still a number of bugs. most people have managed to upload and download. Try downloading on secondary, it should work.
there is a tutorial and a bug report page at ourmxworld.net

Good job but, it says it's stuck finding a network connection when it was really connected anyway (I could connect to a chatroom), I can't seem to use the "connect/disconnect" function at all and I can't seem to use the "connection type" function

Can the new client see files that are shared by users that are on the old network? Or is the network and files contained within it and the client all separate from the old?

GhostShip · « **Reply #67 on:** November 09, 2013, 02:27:58 am »

Welcome back Doomer long time no see

The client should be able to connect to the chat rooms even if its not connected to the WPN , can you check your not running winmx on the same ports at the same time (A common happening when folks are testing the beta ), also can you let us know if your using secondary or primary as if its secondary you may need to add the peer cache into your settings take a peek in there (under WPN network I think ) and ensure the peer cache addy is there if not add the following and restart the beta client cache0.winmxworld.net press add to save that and then close the settings to complete the operation.

Remember that you may also need to allow the new beta to pass through your firewall.

Let us know how you get on

@MSmithy

The beta client is fully operational on the old network and will remain so until its in better shape to handle more of the networks traffic, at that stage the developers will make some protocol variations to enhance security and remove most if not all of the current annoyances, at this time the beta needs further work to fully act as a primary to the many secondary users out there and this is obviously in the pipeline and will appear after a few more betas.

Thank you

, glad to be back!

I've changed the ports for it which has seem to solved the apparent "stuck connecting" problem, I've checked in WPN Network and it has one called "caches.winmxworld.net" but not one called specifically "cache0.winmxworld.net". I added it, the issues I'm aware of seem to be resolved.

Yep I allowed it to pass through my Firewall.

The program is a good alternative (though it has a slightly clunkier interface), but it isn't a complete workaround for the "attacks" WinMX has received and is slightly slower when loading different tabs than the default client is.

Theres a lot of work still to be done to make it as good as the original, but rest assured it can only get better

The build strategy is to make the basic modules and then improve them or replace them if they are not up to the quality the users need.

LiveForeverNow · « **Reply #70 on:** November 11, 2013, 11:40:55 am »

well, solid connectivity is the most important thing to work on right now. it's very flimsy at best. one day I can connect (though I can't get a single search result), the next day I can't connect at all when I have made no changes to the system. it works, I close it, then I open it again and it no longer works, can't even connect.

my ports are properly forwarded, nothing else is using the same ones at the same time, no other connection-reliant software running........new client is the only thing with issues on my pc.

weird thing is I didn't even see the option to "unblock" the dll files as instructed above. downloaded it, ran it, installed it (though there's no uninstaller or installation directory to be found).

GhostShip · « **Reply #71 on:** November 11, 2013, 12:51:27 pm »

Theres a known bug with the primary node gathering mechanism and that's being addressed, as well as many of the other bugs folks have mentioned.
As you may or may not know we have a limited amount of coder time to call on as both of the coders are working full time and thus can only give their evenings and weekends to this project so things are progressing slowly but there is certainly progress going on behind the scenes

The program should appear in whatever folder you placed it in as there has been no released installer.

MeMeMe · « **Reply #72 on:** December 12, 2013, 02:46:23 pm »

First, let me thank everyone who has sweated over this project. As a long timer user I just hated to see the old girl go, again, and I'm gratified to see her rise from the ashes, again

I'm having some issues which is to be expected from a Beta release. I'd have been stunned if I didn't. What I didn't expect however was my attempts to toddle over to the forum setup to gather bug reports to seek a little input and to record my observations and being rebuffed and hamstrung by a security setup that would make the CIA envious. By the time I get inspected, detected and I'm assuming accepted I'll have forgotten my questions and more importantly my observations. I'm sure someone has a rationalization just brimming with drama from previous slights both real and imagined for such a setup but I feel compelled to point out that our beloved network simply isn't relevant anymore and if we have hopes of being relevant again some day a full functioning client would be helpful and for that to happen collection of data would be helpful.

Also wouldn't hurt at all to not give the impression of being some insular community that ain't friendly; I know better but a Virgin would have given up in disgust 2 minutes in to what I just went through and Virgins will ultimately make or break this latest rebirth.

Really hope this works out, would love to help anyway I'm able. Hopefully next time I try we'll get results that benefit everyone.

You couldnt make it up, this whole saga has gone on too long and has been handled badly too

wonderer · « **Reply #74 on:** December 12, 2013, 06:55:15 pm »

Finally we are out of trouble

Joanne is going to show us how thing should be handled in a proper way making thing go much faster and easier
Why did we not ask Joanne before how we should have done it?
Possibly because we would not even have a beta to complain about

I agree with MeMeMe that an easier accessible site to report bugs and request features would possibly bring more input.
As a matter of fact I have registered on that site but forgot where to look for it

HI MeMeMe, I thank you for your feedback with attempting to proffer feedback to the OurMx developers on the ourmx forum, I too fell into the same security trap when I first went over there so I know of the frustration you mention.

I will pass along your request to make life a tad simpler for helpful folks like yourself to join in the development fun and I can confirm some of the bugs that are in the beta 1 have been resolved at this stage but some still remain in the current beta 2 which is not yet ready for release but is firming up nicely in many areas, we will get there and I hope bring the old confident flavour back to the current users of this network, most WPN users are self reliant and self motivated ,but many are tired and annoyed with the childish attacks, the basic advice I try to deliver is one of unity and focus of effort as that's the network I remember back in the day and I hope to see rise again, cheers for taking the time to let us know some things are going wrong , these matters will be attended to

@"Joanne"

I find that less than funny considering I have asked the entire community at nearly every stage to assist on many projects and very few offers of assistance have been forthcoming, some at least offered to assist with things that we all need but those few are in the handful whilst the community is a lot bigger than that, and personally "Joanne" I believe we could do a lot better in terms of leadership in matters, your still not even willing to own up to your real identity here, theres no need to pretend to be some random user when I know full well who you are from both your IP and your style of typing, if you want respect you have to be honest with folks , they may not always appreciate candour but they always appreciate the truth.

Just to put your mind at rest , you wont be banned for using your original name.

~~Joanne~~ · « **Reply #77 on:** December 13, 2013, 02:53:22 pm »

Ghost would you like my name and address too?

I am fully aware that you know my IP and you know which
chat rooms I visit. I can also change my IP but choose
not to so I am not hiding anything quite the opposite.

I feel that some of the users on here just suck up and
dont really say what they think.

As for helping to speed up this painfully slow project
tell me how I can help and if I can I most certainly will.

Hasn't somebody taken that whining windbag and put it in a bag and dropped it over the side yet?

About 1,000 miles out to sea would be good

GhostShip · « **Reply #79 on:** December 13, 2013, 06:06:49 pm »

To be honest "Joanne" I have to admit I really dont know which rooms you visit and to be honest both that and your name and address are strictly none of my business.

I will take up your offer of help as tbh I need some extra hands, have you seen anything you might enjoy doing or would you be happy to simply work on whatever is the most pressing priority ?
