How to set up WinMX??

**Nanceel0** · March 14th, 2003, 02:04 AM

Hi,
I'm thinking of downloading WinMX and noticed a link to the NapMX files. I saw a NapMX set up file and source code (both beta). After downloading and installing WinMX how do you install those two NapMX files? Do you just copy and paste them to somewhere in the WinMX program?
Thanks very much.
Sincerely, Nancee

Hi..Nancee.....I use WinMX & have seen this question before.......
I don't recall the answer

.....but
I can direct you to:

alt.music.mp3.winmx......this usenet newsgroup is probably the easiest way to either find the info or request it
also good support links for WinMX:

Hi Gail,
Thanks for the links. I've been to the first one, but I'll check the others out. Do you use the NapMX? Someone else told me he just uses WinMX without it and it works fine...so that sounds good.

Little more info .............on NapMX.......

"OpenNap is a second protocol that can be used in conjunction with WinMX. OpenNap is a totally seperate network from WinMX with different rules, but works very similar. All OpenNap servers are run by private people on their own machines.

By adding a list of OpenNap servers to WinMX, you can greatly increase the number of hits when you do searches. There are usually close to 200 servers online at any given time, with thousands of people logged on to each server."

"NapMX will automatically download a current list of servers, and with the touch of a button, import them directly into your WinMX OpenNap list."

Hi Gail,
I ended up installing WinMX without anything else and when I ran it, I was able to search and download music

Thanks.
