i would rather use winmx because that is opennap and there are lots of tools to it(and it can connect to slavanap network through a tool)

so swapgate ? no sorry i thought it was something else so i am dissapointed

i still prefer the fastrack network and Direct Connect

I have a question then...have you tried SwapGate?

[-Huize-]

Winmx hasent been Opennap ever since the 3.xx versions. In the versions 3 and upwards they included their PNP networks and ever since winmx has gone from reasonable to bad. Winmx has so many opennap protocol issues that its one of the most hated clients on the networks. Only reason its still allowed is because its the Most used client. ( quantity over quality)

And then there are all the winmx plug ins, like leechhammer, mxmonitor... these plug ins may be nice for the PNP network but go against everything that opennap/slavanap servers stand for. Almost every server has a Minimum set, a minimum u must share to be able to log onto the network and stay logged on. With these plug ins u Overwrite these settings, wich is simply wrong.

Winmx started out as a Opennap client ( version 2.6 and below ) and back then it was a ok client apart from the que-ing system.
Now with the pnp network u have to wait in que cause a user is on the opennap protocol and the pnp network , wich leads to confilcts in the que handling.

Ever since the 3.xx versions winmx has ahd que issues ( Queed 10054 wtf?! )

So no, winmx isent a decent opennap client, few clients are a decent clietn. Swapgate however has the support of the server development team for slavanap.
Slavanap makes up for about 95% of the servers that everyone calls opennap btw.

Swapgate will in the end offer a network on its own, and full support for opennap networks, and because of the main development team of swapgate being in contact with both the development team of the server software and the people that RUN the servers, it is going to be far better then winmx.
