Brother dreamracer,
I also have the same problem with both Fileserve and Uploadstation. My workaround is to use VPN to connect to an oversea gateway. There are many good VPNs out there but all require $$$. I'm using Witopia VPN. It costs US$60/year for unlimited bandwidth and it's quite fast too. The Los Angeles / San Francisco gateways give the best speed...@10 MB/s download speed but depending on time of day.
Or you can purchase a multi-filehost proxy like Linksnappy. I'm also using it - UK$55 - but it's really shit. In fact, all the multi-filehost proxies I've used are shit! They keep aborting transfers, cannot resume aborted transfers, some filehosts they claimed they support but most of the time they don't worked, falsely claiming files not found, etc., etc. Many many problems. It's only good if you have a lot of patience....and desperate.
Sorry, no solutions for freebie users except to use a free public proxy server but they all tend to be very slow and prone to account hacking if you accidentally use the proxy to access sites that require passwords.
Finally, yes, WinMX isn't what it used to be. My WinMX has been idle for weeks now without a successful trade. It's frustrating to say the least.
Cheers,
