Running WinMx with Win98/VPC-5 on a G3 upgraded 6500 PowerMac -- Solid as a Rock. This is worth the price of VPC all by itself. Consistant hits and responsive downloads - *almost* as good as Napster in its heyday. Music and Movie Heaven.
Amused at all the requests for an OSX version of this app (take a hint WinMx folks - Just Do It ... or, at least, how 'bout a v3.4 ;-)
But, why can't a Mac Developer come up with a p2p on par with WinMx? Is it because there's some *particular* networking *feature* possible with WinTel that Mac doesn't have? Any precise and exact reason for *whatever* this *shortcoming* appears to be?
Unless there's something unique regarding WinTel and its Networking abilities, sure seems that someone should be able to replicate the success of WinMx with OSX's Unix foundation. We're waiting.
