winmx free download is a peer to peer file sharing program,
which allows users to download and share files with MILLIONS
of other users on the net.. In September 2005 the winmx
web site was shut down under threat of litigation by the
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). today
winmx is operational thanks to users who helped restore
connections to the network, but its future seems bleak.

WinMX is one of the oldest free P2P music download networks
still in existence. In its long history, the WinMX free
download network has been faced with being shut down on
several occasions. Users of WinMX have a reputation for
loyalty and community that most other P2P networks cannot
match… Technically speaking, WinMX did not become its own
P2P network until the year 2001. Faced with the de facto
OpenNAP shutdown, the owners of the WinMX client created
their own network protocol called WPNP (WinMX Peer Network
Protocol) and released new versions of the client to support
it. When users upgraded their client, they automatically
switched to the new WinMX (WPNP) network.
Numerous other P2P networks competed with WinMX for popularity,
yet WinMX built a large base. At its peak in 2002, generally
accepted estimates show WinMX regularly servicing more than
1 million users. (for the complete article: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/winmx/a/winmxoverview.htm)
On October 8, 2000, FrontCode Technologies released an
OpenNap client named WinMX. The client was utilitarian in
appearance; reminiscent of earlier style Windows based programs.
Regardless, the program was readily adopted by a wide following
and eventually became one of the most popular OpenNap applications.
WinMX free download was the ugly duckling of the P2P community,
a reputation it would hold keep for its entire lifespan.
Although clumsy, it gave this application a distinction
that other cookie cutter P2P applications to this day fail
to replicate.
WinMX appeared on the file-sharing landscape towards the
end of Napster’s reign. Napster was sued by the RIAA (Recording
Industry Association of America) during the later months
of 1999. Founder Shawn Fanning, the creator of mainstream
P2P networking, defended his network stating the company
was not responsible for the activities of its users. Unfortunately
for Napster, dozens of indexing servers proved critical
to the survivability of the network.
