WinMX - Slow as molasses on a T1/T3 Network

muzikmann · 13th October 2004, 16:24

Hey everyone,

Wondering if some folks could help me out. I'm on a network at the Colorado School of Mines, which is on T1 or T3 lines as far as I know. I can download programs at 400kb/s on a busy day no problem. However, I recently downloaded the new version of WinMX after reformatting and it's slow as hell. Slow as hell meaning 2kb/s or less even when connected to other T1 and T3 connections. I got faster speeds on dialup. This is the first time I've tried using it on the network. What could be causing this? Any settings I've missed or ccan someone suggest how I set it up? Any other programs that could be recommended? Thanks
