Everyone in my queue is Japanese

[jacqui888]

I have my settings on either North America or Europe but all I get in my queue are Japanese. I can't share if I can't read what they are sharing. Any suggestions.

What exactly do you mean,  "You can't share because you can't read what they are sharing?"

Can't help it. 50% of primaries are Japanese. Do are helping Winmx in a big big way. Let them dwonload so long as they are not leechers or people with the zero uploads hack. It is for the benifit of the network.

Sharing means I give you something of mine and you give me something of yours. However, it's not really sharing if you take from me but I can't take from you because I don't know what I'm getting from you.

BTW I'm on primary every chance I get to do my share in keeping this site open and I do not cancel d/l's just becase I can't browse the d/ler. It just doesn't seem fair.

If I specify North America or Europe in my settings why am I still getting 95% Asian?

actually, "I give you something of mine and you give me something of yours" is called trading, not sharing - sharing is "I'll let you have my files"

the cache choice doesn't effect the caches used any more, the new caches detect your region automatically by your IP Address, however the network is not made up of different regions all on separate networks, it is 1 big network with every user on it - any user can find files from any other user on winmx. The regionalisation for the caches is done merely to help get the network arranged better (so Japanese secondaries connect through Japanese primaries, and European secondaries connect through European primaries etc) for more efficient routing of data.
