MXPie patch - Auto Updater for the Winmx community
NEW!! The latest MXPie patch version Automatically updates peer cache information, and includes an automatically updating blocking file to run in conjunction with PeerGuardian Lite. Both are done in a transparent and easily verifiable way. There are also options to disable one or both of the AutoUpdating Functions as well. This is in an effort to give Users full control over what happens on their computer. We do not believe such things should be left to blind faith.
This solution will overwrite your hosts file, if you use any program that makes use of the hosts file you should ensure you have backups prior to installation.
The "MXPie Auto Updater" is intended to be an all inclusive solution for 2000/2003/XP users who wish to resolve Winmx connectivity and never need to download additional updates again.
Download MXPie Auto Updater Installer
Simply download the installer, and run. You will see two icons in your system tray. One for PGlite, the other is the "MXPie Auto Updater" which will automatically keep your guarding.p2p and hosts files current.
