The Plan
A database that can be used in conjunction with WinMX to allow users to counter fake file flooders whenever they encounter them.
Database Now up and running. Check out p2p-revolution.com here
How it works
When a user encounters a situation where the files coming up in a search are obviously fake, they will be able to search the database for a legitimate hash that matches their desired search.
It will then allow them to search the WinMX network via the hash, bypassing the load of fakes. Allowing you to continue on your p2p way unimpeded.
What we need other Users to do
Get MxHashish from one of the links below. This file was originally hosted at smittys, but I have lost hope that it will return. While I hope for its speedy recovery, I must face the possibility that it will not.
MxHashish for Version 3.31 [Instruction] [Download]
MxHashish for Version 3.53 [Instruction] [Download]
This tool will create an excel file of file information (from shared files). Filesize, hash, name, etc. It does this by parsing the data from WinMX's library.dat file. Thanks to the author greypoc.
Unzip it, and run it.
The Dialogue box after running it should look something like this:
