I've been using WinMX for a couple of months now and really like it. It does not seem like the best thing for commonly available files (e.g. popular mp3 files) due to speed, but it is great for more obscure stuff. Pick some files, come back in a couple of days, and there they are... My question: I have been running in firewall mode and I am trying to figure out what the benefits of a direct connection are? I'm loath to open ports on my router, but I will if I can get some tangible performance benefit. Anyone have a clue about this? |
