Winmx is entering a new era, the community is now again steadily growing it's userbase and is stronger then ever since the 2005 server shut down. Since then we have seen a number of reconnection patch solutions backed independantly by the 2 major Winmx support groups Vladd44's Mxpie and Winmx Worlds Winmx group. Now for the first time, both teams have come together to offer the WinMX Community Patch from a Winmx user and long time developer known as Eagle. This new patch will be supported and promoted by both Winmx World and Mxpie, as well as a number of affiliated groups and individuals.

The Winmx network like all other p2p networks is under attack from a number of agencies who flood the networks with fake files. For a long time now, Winmx users have been fighting back and blocking these flood attacks at every opportunity, now with the new Winmx Community Patch we are going to take that fight to a new level with the goal of irradicating such flooding by blocking those who attack us, and indeed by filtering out the few fake files that do make it through, with all WinMX users using the same method to do so, the WinMX Community Patch.

In order to make things as easy as possible to get your Winmx connected and running correctly the Winmx Community Patch has a number of handy features.

• 1 - The WinMX Community Patch will offer WPN Specific blocking as a built in feature to ensure your bandwidth is not used to flood other users of the network with.
• 2 - The WinMX Community Patch also features a filtering system that ensures fake files placed on the network by flooders are not displayed so your time is not wasted.
• 3 - Eagle the WinMX Community Patch writer is a trusted neutral person and has offered the same Patch for all major WinMX communities to use.
• 4 - Rapid connection times, connections are now in seconds rather than minutes using some older solutions.
• 5 - Universal plug and play (UPNP) compatibility to allow for automatic router setups for routers supporting the UPNP system.
• 6 - DLL patch preference system removed.

The WinMX Community Patch is backed by the majority of WinMX support groups and will ensure there is no monopoly for any single group to control any of the users, we will work together as a community to ensure this democratic ideal is followed, allowing the entire community to focus on sustaining growth and focusing on new projects that will further benefit us all.

You may have used other patches in the past, we would ask you at this time to please remove them and switch to this safer and more secure patch.
