As noted in our Napster clones feature, one of the great advantages of CuteMX is its searching speed. We recommend 50 to 100 listed results for a good compromise between quickness and a healthy listing of accurate results. See Figure E . Once the search is complete, your query will be displayed in a random arrangement. To better read the results of your search, you can press the bar on the top of each field to sort by user, file name, file size, speed of connection, ping, or available connections.
Ping is the amount of speed in milliseconds it takes to connect to the other user.
The lower this number is, the faster the connection. Another preference to keep an eye on is the connection speed of the other users. Downloading a file from a computer connected by DSL will take less time than one with a 56kps modem. Inc. All rights reserved. Inc. ZDNet Logo is service mark of CNET Networks, Inc.
