P2P: WinMX Download
This signature detects a download request on the WinMX network. WinMX is a proprietary peer-to-peer file sharing program authored by Frontcode Technologies using the WinMX Peer Network Protocol (WPNP). The official WinMX Web site and WinMX servers have been offline since September 2005 due to a lawsuit. By September 25, 2005, users were able to download a working software patch for WinMX and these patches work by modifying the DNS lookups WinMX uses to find peer caches.
