    Advantages Advantages lots of files, fast downloads, masses of features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages queues, cluttered interface, scary for newbies

    Napster is dead, file sharing isn't. In fact, since the demise of Napster(well its dead as far as I am concerned) file sharing has just increased in volume rather than it being stamped out as the music industry had hoped. Now, you have access not only to MP3s, but software programs, images, documents and even complete movies if you have the time and patience to download 400MB+ files on a 56k modem! Of course if you have a high speed internet connection then you're well away. A number of programs which allow this kind of sharing have sprung up or increased in popularity since Napster ... more

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages as with any downloading software, be prepared to wait!

    This opinion is basically going to go against anything I've ever thought to myself about writing opinions, as I'm not really technically minded and vowed not to write opinions on computing matters, but for this I will make an exception. Since the whole Napster collapse, I've struggled to find a download program that was anywhere near up to it's standard, but I think I've done it. After trying various others, such as AudioGalaxy, I thought I was going to have to give up on sampling the variety of music that the world has to offer, until I read a review on winmx here the other day. (thanks Steve ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fast, Peer to peer file sharing. Lots of users & files.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No complaints with the program, except minor details - look for Version 3 soon!

    Which sums up WinMX entirely. I have been a user of Napster (as you can see by an older opinion of mine) for a long time, but when file transferring stopped, I needed something to fill that empty void. For a while I did without, yes, I did try Audiogalaxy, but it's web page/satellite interface I could never get on with. A friend then told me about WinMX. I went to the website for WinMX (http://www.winmx.com) and downloaded it, having high hopes for the program. Smaller than Napster to download, and easy to install, I ran the application. It resembled Napster a bit, and certainly did the same ... more

    Advantages Advantages Free,Fast,Easy, Massive choice,Good music

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not really any

    This piece of free software has been my best software addition for some time. Music fans with an internet connection will find this very useful. Its basically a music file sharing software similar to Napster, only much better in my opinion. It has a search engine which quickly scans a hugely impressive database, well, of internet winmx users from across the world. This means that whatever song you are looking for, from whatever era, will almost certainly be found. I have performed many searches and have only oncecome across a failed to attemp to find the song I'm after(then realised the song ... more

    Advantages Advantages The best file-sharer since, well, ever

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None that cause any major bother

    This site offers the finest peer-to-peer file sharing program, free to download. Before I begin, this is more a review of the program that is available to download from this site than of the site itself - the site exists solely to promote the program. Peer-to-peer file sharing is a tricky business. I sampled Napster before it died, I dabbled with Gnutella, Bearshare and a couple of lesser efforts, but none seemed worth the bother. I almost gave up, but desperate for a try-before-you-buy option, I thought I'd give WinMX a go, just in case. And thank God I did. I kid you not, the program on ... more
