Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Screenshots

I think these might help explain things:


Notice that no host/IP repeats and the software being used is different for every slot:

Are all these people suddenly after this one obscure file?


And I indeed have LW set to "one upload per host":

There is nothing anormal in that screenshot. Lame that the forum database bug has destroyed my previous reply....

Anyway you are in the download mesh of Bearshares... That's all.

One different upload fills your upload queue each time because:
You are sharing many popular stuff, in particular movies...
Once in the upload slots are all taken, LW stops sending search results... This means the first file that you send a search result for and that the other user decide to download the file will make you enter the download mesh. At first only with the known hosts that sent a result to the search of that host, but a couple of seconds later, all the people downloading or sharing the file on Gnutella will know you share at least a part of the file.

As simple as that...

The only thing weird is your triple upload to same IP, but i'm 100% sure you can't see that if you use the latest LW and that in Uploads Options you unchecked the "clear completed transfers".

Ciao

What I dont understand is whats the issue, so what if 20 people want your funny cat file, I mean thats pitance compared to the hundreds of thousands of people that use the p2p network..?

I check my uploads and I browse through what they have to share and even if someone only has 2 files shared so what, as LOTR said everyone starts somewhere....

And further more I am not a lazy *******, I dl what I want at the time, bubba and crawler, I always get my files without a problem, so when you Block what you call a freeloader it doesn't bother me

Stop saying "simple as that" because you're not making sense.

If I understand you correctly, once all my upload slots have been filled, no one can see any other files I am sharing other than that one file? That seems pretty silly, and indeed something that should be fixed in future updates).

Speaking of which, I am indeed running the latest version... 4.9.37 Pro... and as for being "100% sure" that "auto clear uploads" will fix this, it is indeed already checked, so you're 0 for 2 on the assumption that the problem can be resolved that way.

Also, from what I can tell, the above photo does NOT show three uploads "to the same IP" (the numbers for each host is different), and again, it seems highly unlikely that so many different people are suddenly all interested in such an obscure file.


Simple as that.

Bubba:
Listen, I'm positive you can't have two uploads of same file with the config I told you. Post a screeny to challenge me.

The stop sending results is NOT a bug, it is a feature that makes the downloads very fast on Gnutella, this has been done on purpose.

Wondering why: the freeloader setting doesn't work and there is no way to tell who is leeching and who is not. Somebody could share partials and not completes and would still be sharing while somebody sharing neither partials or completes could help by being UP....

If it were just that one file, I'd unshare it and be done with it. You're not reading. This problem does not occur with a particular file. Go back and start reading the thread from the beginning. One file, totally at random, may suddenly become "so popular" that after a prolonged period, eventually all of my upload AND queued slots will be filled with the same file ("Funny Cats" was used only as an example).

You're telling me that you don't have ANY files on your computer that you're willing to share that you didn't download from someone else first? How about some clipart or a few gif's you pig.

Think of all the files you can't get simply because you won't take the time to go through and add a few directories to to your share list.

The "lazy *******" comment stands.

If it's causing this very result and was done on purpose, then it is a serious flaw in the code that needs to be corrected.

Are you serious? I'm waiting for an upload window screeny, I'd never challenge you on options settings

What aren't you understanding about stopping sending results? The way it works now, only people that can provide bandwidth respond to searches. That's a choice of design, if you want your way, welcome to emule and eDonkey system where downloads are slow... (if you can dl that is)

This is my last post here, except if you post knowledgeful stuff for once.
