The advent of
faster internet conections brought about the development of more and more P2P applications. Plus, more and more P2P programs resulted in the creation of more and more P2P networks. I think this is one of the main reasons behind the shutdown of a number of P2P networks.
The
WinMX application is still running, and it is virtually clean from malware and various spyware. It also has no bundled programs included in the program package. This is why it is one of the top options in acquiring a P2P client application. Plus, you get fast search results and downloads by using this P2P client application. It also boasts of more files to download, as well as a monitoring system to weed out potential viruses, fake files, and corrupted files. Well, this is generally because this program boasts of a large network of users, plus a dedicated team of developers who constantly monitor the filesharing functions and features of the application.
But, unfortunately, the highly appraised WinMX network has functionally been shutdown. I do not know the reason what brought about this, except for the fact that there are a number of P2P networks that can be accessed by the program. Yes, the application is still freely available for download and installation, but its network was shutdown for unknown reasons. Well, maybe this is a similar case as of the shutting down of the Napster network back then.
