Author Topic: Can only download very rarely.... (Read 1476 times)

Whenever I do a search for a file, I usually get loads of 'hits', and am told that there is '10 of 10 available'........for instance, but when I try to download it won't download it, or puts me in a queue.....I don't understand why, surely not all 10 of the users went offline together?
Sometimes it does download, and, very occasionally, it's very quick too, but usually the download speed is abysmal.
I only use secondary connection by the way, as I find that if I try primary , I don't get any hits.
cheers, Dave.....

Delete the winmx folder and reinstall winmx from here:
https://www.winmxgroup.com/Install-3.0-MultiVer.exe

Choose your version: 3.54 beta 4, 3.53 or 3.31

Cheers

Hi Dave,

More then likely your seeing fakes.. this is why Sam has asked you to install the MX from this link above... it will filter those out for you and remove that as a possible problem for you.. Let us know after you install and how things go please..

Hi Dave, unfortunatly seeing 10 of 10 available and then getting queued at 264 is a Japenese leecher hack. Some people using this hack will only trade and swap files, others are just set up to leech. This hack is a play off of another similar hack which is >> Whois >>>Transfer Status: 11 in queue (0 of 0 available). Some people claim to use this hack to stop leechs by manually starting people who share and end up looking something like this >> Whois >>>Transfer Status: 11 in queue (-1 of 0 available). Personaly I use MxMonitor to stop leeches but LeechHammer is also effective.
