Edonkey supposedly shut down as well.
But whether or not WinMX is done for good remains to be seen...
Currently, the WinMX.com homepage, the FrontCode.com homepage, the WinMX PNP Network and all of its host caches are down. It is impossible to connect to the network, and those remaining online will only stay online as long as their host supernodes do. But is this the end of WinMX?
Perhaps not. Interestingly enough, if one conducts a DNS whois for "WinMX.com", the result directs owner ship to a "WinMX Technology Associates" - not FrontCode Technologies as it has in the past. Even more interesting is the geographical relocation from Toronto, Canada to Port Vila, Vanuatu. Many will remember that Sharman Networks pulled a similar stunt to avoid prosecution in the Netherlands and to capitalize on "tax efficiencies."
So you ask what in the fuck is a Port Vila, Vanuatu?
Looks to me as if someone's setting up shop out of the reach of the RIAA.

I use emule- pretty good... but same as Limewire- keep you AV up and running- but it is no where near as bad as Limewire.
I used to use The real world for all my TV stuff.... but it is closed now

I don't do any peer-to-peer sharing except with a small group of friends I trust. I get almost everything I could ever want from newsgroups.
Ask your ISP if they offer a news server. If not, or if it sucks (which is likely), go with a service like
Easynews which lets you download 20 gigs for $10 a month.
