WinMX

I tried to use WinMX last week whilst out of the country but it wouldn't connect. I assumed it was some kind of inhibition by the local broadband provider.

However now I can't connect from home. It just keeps saying "Finding Network Connections".

Has anyone else had a problem, or know of any issues with the site?

From slashdot:-

An anonymous reader writes "Slyck.com is reporting that it appears the WinMX network has shut down its operations in response to the RIAA's letters threating legal action. Although the WinMX network is currently down, this may only be temporary as developers seem to have relocated from Canada to Port Villa, Vanuatu."

Thanks John, that would explain it. The thought had crossed my mind, but I wasn't sure how to check.

It still works if you reset it.
