Afaik the person who wrote winmx is now publishing fopnu and darkmx. So it’s still around, just in a modern iteration.

Yup. The Tixati torrent client is also developed by the same dev team (mainly Kevin Hearn I believe).

I think that the timeline was WinMX, then Tixati, then Fopnu, then DarkMX. (Tixati / Fopnu / DarkMX are still actively developed and updated)

OMG thank you so much. I didn’t know the devs were still active. I used to use winmx all the time.
