Disappearing shared folders

[ChrisCTR]

This happens infrequently and unexpected but when I boot up WinMX and check the library for the music folders I'm sharing, they're ALL GONE or just one folder stays put.  Why does this happen?  I do not use the computer's default music sharing folders.  I have my own, all categorized.  It doesn't matter what operating system I use. It's happened when I had Vista, and now for the first time in Windows 7.  What is making my shared folders get removed by themselves?  Is there some quirk or hack in WinMX we all don't know of?  I hate it when my sharing folders get removed by whatever is causing it.  I'm sharing over 37,000 files and adding more weekly. Can anyone help me on these mysterious folder removals?

Hi ChrisCTR,
welcome to winmxworld,

you say you share 37,000 files and add more all the time,
the possible problem is,
if you're on primary connection, winmx only allows 5,000 files to be shown, the rest are not seen by anyone,
if you're on secondary connection, that limit is reduced to just 3,000 files,

its the way it is in the making of winmx, we can not change it,
it is possible its too many files for winmx to index, that could be why its ignoring your folders.

i partly agree to this Max

i think winmx will more than the maximum it just won't appear in a browse.. but in searches it will ....correct me if i m wrong

maybe this loosing of share is caused if winmx is shutdown or crashes when it coincidentally is busy (re)indexing or refreshing the library? ... just a guess

i meant "winmx will !share!"

and i must admit 37000 files is kinda redicuals

[Joshua203]

lol Joshua,
i use a built in spellchecker on my firefox and i still make errors, shows machines are as bad as humans

[Joshua203]

heheh i must admit i hate being checked most of all by a machine (maybe because i tend to like grey areas... hmmm), but looking at this word ridicilous ..well i should ve used google or something but it did n t even lóók weird to me and now i see bluey's translation i can only say ...ofcourse ..to ridicule even sounds more like it s written

but we 're drifting way off topic (and that kinda saves my butt too  ), thanks for correcting me bluey i actually may need more than one modify button hahahahaha
