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.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

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.

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.

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.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. 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.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. 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 8 hosts vs 10 hosts

some1 said the number of hosts to swarm from is hard coded in LW/FW and the nubmer 10 can only be reached if using LW PRO.
Well, isnt LW/FW open source software? Shouldnt it be possible to easily change that number in frostwire from 8 to 10.

No I do not know how to write code I use Frostwire basic. Although I also have LimeWire Pro and I do pay for it every 6 months. I have also donated to the FrostWire team. And will gladly donate again if the need arises. There are cost associated with any kind of development. After all time is money I do believe in what LimeWire and the Frostwire teams are doing.

And since I am on the subject Thanks Frostwire Team for your time, efforts and $ on the FrostWire project it is appreciated.

FrostWire was originally started because of the position LimeWire is in and the direction they may eventually have to go with their software. FrostWire will preserve the original Idea of the LimeWire development.

I do not know how long they will be able to provide their services at a free gratis nor do I care. If the time comes that they need help then I and hopefully others will provide the help needed.

Well I guess I got a little off subject but what the hell Thanks guys

Ahhh yes, the sweet tasting nectar of frostwire *cough*pro?*cough*...

I've been debating this in my head if frostwire should increase the downloading host numbers by 2. (this would be equivalent to the download speed as limewire pro.)

Maybe I need a little financial incentive.

I don't care if you build me or anybody else a pro version or not but if you or the frostwire team need a donation PM me. Or create a STICKY. It would be nice to have a place where we could send a PayPal donation to. I give LimeWire $14.95 twice a year I see no reason not to support FrostWire. I for one think you all deserve our support.

NO. I'm categoric, FW will respect LW basic settings, there is NO chance of changing that, except if we want to lure users to save Gnutella "IF" LW starts filtering unlicenced content.

So NO. That's it. Upping IS no good with current technology, plain and simple.

Am I clear ultracross? There is no way I'll jump into that sort of promotion.

That was a joke....

[edit] and DAMN et_voila... you took the bait quickly.. hehe. Just so I can be clear, I seriously doubt I will change the speed settings. et_voila and greg would hate me for it. Although there isn't much harm in changing it. If LimeWire does it for profit, I don't see why we can't do it for free. I can also see the fine line of behaving well and being greedy. Maybe an increase of one host after the modem setting. (This is very hypothetical)

BUT! I will not change anything to increase the number of ultrapeers that frostwire connects to. Three ultrapeers is the max. It would even be nicer to bring the number down to two or even one, but a redundancy is important.

Kmag is working on a simppable patch for the QRT (the QRT simppable settings can be set in increments of 64, 128 and 256k I believe). Kmag tells me that a 256k QRT is the most optimal setting, even though limewire is currently held at 64k--this is the most optimal for limewire. (BearShare proved 256k QRT's are more optimal)... Blah blah, So anyways we will be very safe with 3 UP connections. Connecting to Four or more UPs is just greedy and problematic with higher QRT's.
