Downloads

This file-sharing program lets you trade MP3 files, as well as other types of video and picture files, with people over a decentralized network. WinMX lets you track and resume broken transfers and shut down your computer after it has downloaded your chosen files. And perhaps most refreshing, the program proclaims that it comes with "no bundled spyware, no ads, no B.S."

Unlike rival programs like Kazaa and Morpheus, you can configure WinMX's Share settings to limit the number of files you're willing to share with other users. Sound selfish? It is, and fair minded people will want to use it with restraint. At the same time, if lots of people are constantly accessing your PC, it can cause your Internet connection to become downright sluggish.

Note: The developer no longer supports this file. Version 3.54beta, found here, is the last version of it created. Fans of this product may want to read this story at Wikipedia.
