Re: Winmx help please

Yes, I keep on getting these results as well.

The reason why they do not work are because they are fake and probably put there by the record company or one of their minions.

Tips for spotting fake files: -

Users sharing lots of files who are on a T3 connection. These tend not to exist (the users that is) and those that have plenty of bandwidth usually are disguised as cable connections or others.

When the search has stopped, ping all the results and then click the ping column. The fake files will be clumped together and usually have the same ping indicating that the users are all in close proximity.

Watch out for users who are sharing many copies of the same file at different bitrates/lengths/frequencies etc. Generally fake files or no-connects.

Prime example is below: -



Apart from that, if you do find yourself inadvertantly downloading a fake file or one with lots of rubbish in, delete it. Don't keep sharing it (if you share stuff).
