Ever since I left Windows, I've been quite unhappy with Frostwire and GTK-Gnutella and longed to get WinMX running again which I've had problems with. I finally figured it out, and here's how to do it:
First, if you don't already have it, install WINE:
sudo apt-get install wineSecond, go download WinMX from here: http://www.mxpie.com/downloads.html
- Please note that v3.54 is Beta
After the .exe has downloaded, you should be able to run it by right-clicking on it and selecting "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader".
Let the install do its thing
Note: Wine may ask you to install Gecko, which you should.
After WinMX has installed and is trying to connect to the network, close it.
Open up a terminal and enter the following:
sudo gedit /etc/hostsAfter the last line in the hosts file, paste the following into it and then save it:
# From here down, all lines with .winmx.com, winmxgroup.com, or winmxgroup.net were added by the MXpie patch v3.6
