Defensive Techniques

[Valor]

*If you have tried to download mp3 with alot of users and the file times out=fakefile, please ensure you right click them in the transfers window and press delete. In anycase fakefile or not, attend your transfers and incoming files folder.
I have found best results by keeping a maximum of 12 files active in the transfer window for winmx to autosearch every 10 minutes and auto-enter queue 100 - Set on the winmx seach window button. When the file is done, move it to its appropriate shared folder so you don't have to share your incoming[partials] directory.
Keep the active transfers down to 12, search for what you want, monitor your transfer window, if they are not finding any sources for an hour or so..right click and press clear, later when a few of the other files are done, press the "load incomplete button[in the case of normal files].If you get on a fakefile do NOT leave it unattended in the transfers window, try the QuickSilver method of right clicking the first users to time out on iT  browse button and then quicky right click the whole +filegroup and press delete.  A buildup of fakefiles in active transfers is winmx death...
*If you don't do this as soon as you connect to winmx your fakefile autosearch starts up and b0fs you, you may experience frozen pc,the winmx program will whiteout..we'll never see you again.
If you don't use -c: when searching for popular mp3's, stop the search results at around 600. Press the "available files on top" button on the search window and have winmx settings/search "groups of duplicate results expanded by default" set.
Look at the expanded filegroups, if all the users in one group are queued, this is a clean file, also when some are queued and some aren't is clean to i think.  Collapse the filetree on a clean file and press download .The ones with high amount users and fileslots free=fakefiles, see if there is somthing in the fakefile title that you can refine your search with, fakefiles often list the track number, find the track number in the initial search and then exclude it by typing -06 in the lower search field if the song is 06killing me softly.mp3 for example

Quicksilver has clearly identified MACROVISION CORPORATION's Interdictor software being used against us on WinMX for the past 6 months(good work QuicKSilver ). It started with mp3, then software and NOW movies. The Interdictor is sharing popular Winmx movie filehashes to kill your upload/download queues and stall running transfers.
My own experience of this is having a well ordered queue and transfer of legitimate upload/download users then hooking into the interdictor when autosearch every 10 minutes kicks in and all at once losing every queued user on every file queued and all running transfers stalled to 0:00. Sometimes it even effected other Winmx ports open for chatrooms and the only way I could get back on Winmx is to reboot the router and pc.
My only workaround so far is to turn autosearch off when you have a good few queued and download new movies only from legitimate users in chatrooms.
The defintion of Interdictor is 1.To forbid or debar, especially authoritatively 2.To cut or destroy (a line of communication) by firepower so as to halt an enemy's advance.
Remember people, despite what the media is saying, these corporations have no real authority over us. They are using an illegal and malicious tool against what they see as their enemy/greatest threat=us. All we have to do to defeat them is keep on sharing

Hey Ace,
Glad to see your making your way around the forum a bit...

Just to be clear to folks though..

Its  -c: that we need to use for most mp3s and -user for the movies and games..

Happy Hunting folks ..

I'm just curious bout something....I am not a programmer, but for the life of me, can't understand why this couldn't be done.  we use mxmonitor to manage our ul que, setting it to allow by files, names, whatever, it is highly customizable....why is it that it couldn't be re-engineered to work for our dl slots?
Make it so that we don't que on anyone with 3000 files or more, or if the whois reports that they have more than 10 slots available?
Seems as though that would be possible and workable, wish that I knew how to do it, lmao

sorry, was just a thought and this forum seemed the place to put it
