Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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 What port do use to listen on?

I deleted the listening port as I tried to use 6349 - but it doesnt work. I thought it was 11523 but this isnt working. I had it working yesterday so what is the problem now?

Also for the list of questions I cant answer all of them as I am not that technical! Help! This is now making me really angry. I really cant be doing with all this hassle. I am just un-installing it and going elsewhere. Far too much hassle.

You can try any available legal port. Try one between 49152 - 65535 such as 64049.

The problem is probably either your software firewall or your modem/router but since you "refuse" to give us details, we really can't help you much more than what we have tried to. The forum rules specify you must detail your system & problem in detail as you agreed to the forum rules when you registered on the forum, & were shown a copy of the rules during that process which you agreed to. Forum Rules (click here)

But the problem might be your ISP. Since you haven't told us anything ... it's really anybody's guess. Sorry we don't have ESP! (Where's my crystal ball?!?!)

I wouldnt even know where to start giving you THOSE details. Thank you anyway but Frostwire is a pile of kak and a complete hassle so I have un-installed and went elsewhere.

Ps And I certainly did not join this forum to be patronised and spoken disrespectfully either. You may be the Computer wizard on this site but your people skills suck - and that is to "King" of the Rings.

Bye bye. As said we don't have esp & difficult to guess people's problems without "any" details about their set up. I don't even know if you're using windows or mac or linux. So what type of response do you expect really. Get real. At least you got a response on this forum. Many other forums they would simply have ignored your posts without sufficient details.

But I am sorry to hear you bought FrostWire from a scam site since the program is free. That was unfortunate.

You dont have ESP! Thats a shocker! Oh and FYI - I am happy that I paid SOMETHING unlike alot of freeloaders out there. Trust me I have had my moneys worth. Part of my guilt I am not going to even tell my credit card it was scam. It eases my guilt knowing I have at least paid something.

And it is Windows I am using - but I wouldnt have a clue answering the other questions. Yes I am admitting that I am thick when it comes to technical stuff about the computer. So go ahead - rib me. If it makes your ego feels better.

I am also sorry to have to un-install Frostwire but 6 months down the line I dont want problems especially when I am not technical enough to resolve them.

So, then why were you here in the first place,.....if not for seeking help??

For me, the question is whether you're thick in regard to computers or to societies......from your comments I assume the latter one.....

Can't you imagine that it is necessary to have at least some details and information to be able to help someone??

FrostWire is for free...end of discussion..if you paid for it, you were ripped of, and since a 2nd party supplied it they may very well have slapped on a few distastefull addons...

I am here because I still have the link to people answering my posts - who's the thick one?

I get a product and dont expect problems with it 6 months down the line. To me that is just shabby. You are equally just as rude and if I ever saw you face to face and knew who you were - I would slap your silly, geeky little chops. Get a life. No wonder you are always on here - because no one in the real world would have you.

What a shame I am deleting the link and wont be able to see what you have replied! I am away to my happy real life. Can you say the same? No? I didnt think so.
