forum looking kinda dead...
What program do you use to access opennap networks? or do you even access them at all?
There are several good programs (Xnap, winMX, etc.) out there and each have the advantages and disadvantages;
e.g., winMX
pros: winMX lets you connect to several opennaps simultaneously
cons: some opennap networks block winMX connections because of that fact.

just wondering; I'm always looking for something new to use for Opennaps. : )

I used to agree that the fact that it didn't do multisource was holding it back as well, but ever since I've taken a closer look at direct connect (a much, much larger network that doesn't support multisource either) and its success, I changed my mind. I think what's holding the opennaps back now is the fact that so many winMX users connect to soooo many at a time, and they bring they're amazingly long queues with them, which just ends up clogging up the network further.

direct connect is a good app i used it for a while there when i had 100gb of stuff on my pc but if you dont have a large hard drive then dc can be limited

i couldn use direct or winmx after i started using shareaza . on winmx a lot of people dont share , finding common files are ok bu downloading videos or movies takes forever even with dsl . no sources is very hard to work with . direct connect is ok but i dont have so much time to sit and wait for these things.. i need things quick and gotta go .
