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.

Exclamation My own share of problems in Phex (GNU/Linux)

I have the following local address being reported to me: 127.0.0.1
I wonder, is this normal? My connections are being refused from the other side and I'm not allowed to connect with peers (or Ultrapeers).
Tell me, the above address (127.0.0.1) is being reported to other clients as well? I remember that Limewire, Gnucleus and others filter the local connections out, including 127.0.0.loopback. I conjecture that my connection problems is related to the address thing, ¿What do you think?

Thumbs up

Well,well,well my friends. What I am seeing, now... Somehow my address changed and suddenly I am connecting like crazy. I don't know how it happened, but it happened. I must say that, as I thought, I'm getting a very good impression, a very good impression of Phex indeed.
I switched kernels, however. From 2.4 to 2.6; actually replaced my entire system since I last got "the error". This issue, I think, should be investigated further still.

The reported address 127.0.0.1 is not a problem.
Phex determines it's correct address from every new connection its making. So even if you switch IPs Phex will recognize and update it address.
127.0.0.1 is only reported since Phex didnt know any better and you have'nt connected yet.
Phex will not report loopback or any other local network addresses to other peers.

Your initial connection problem might be related to a outdated host file. In this case Phex will need some time to determine fresh addresses and connect. You can help by pressing the GWebCache button.
When you run Phex regularly every couple of days you will connect very fast. Phex will prioritize peers by its connection probability and improve its host cache while its running.

Red face Hello again...

Sounds good. But there's something else that could prevent me from using Phex: I need to return directories coincidences; say that someone search for ...**EDITED**. Suppose that I have no file that match with that string, but I have one or two *directories* that do. So I would like the files "inside" (**EDITED**/) to be returned in response to this query. (Not that I have any **EDITED** songs, I clarify to RIAA hitmen)

It's very unpractical for me, for a number of reasons, to rename my files. However, looking at the share screen, the search count, I wonder if this is or isn't implemented already.

Searches for **EDITED** should return hits if any of the directories above your files or your file contain the words **EDITED** and **EDITED**.
Maybe you are seeing less hits because the query routing tables do not contain directory string entries. I will check this.

Thumbs up Phex rule, and thank you.

Thank you for your swift contestations, Gregor. You have been most helpful with my problems that aren't such.

Quote:

I am lost, a little with your explanation, because I'm not in the computing thing, at all... I don't think I really get it when you say "routing tables" (not in a profound sense ). But in response to a query like this:
"**EDITED**"
this should (should?) be answered by Phex:
"03.mp3"
.. with no problem because at least in the beta I am, after all, getting hits. (No need, I think, to swim in the code) -Little or no downloads maybe but that is a different story. I'll bother you with two more questions, I hope they will be the last ones.

¿What can you tell me about this?:

"**EDITED**/The best of/03.mp3"
In Gnucleus, I used to get from my part this kind of finding. Notice that there's a relative route there. But that route, where does it come from? Was it added from my client's side? It came along with a search? Anyway, it's practical to have it there, be as it may.

The other thing is that I have a lot of "Ignored candidates" when I'm downloading a file. Their addresses are **edited**, **edited**, etc. Local network addresses, I believe. And they usually are Limewire peers. ¿What's this?

No problem.. if I have time I enjoy to help..

The routing table is basically a condensed table containing all your shared files (I checked, its including your directories). This table is send to your neighbours so they can decide if queries should be forwarded to you since they could generate hits or if its not worth to waste the bandwidth since you might not have anything.

You should definitely use the beta of Phex!

When somebody searches for **edited** and you share it at **edited**/The best of/03.mp3, Phex will only return 03.mp3 currently.. there will be a path addition in the future.
If you search for **edited** and somebody else returns **edited**/The best of/03.mp3, Phex will display you the whole path. But AFAIK there are not many cases you will see a client returning path info. Maybe Gnucleus is using a proprietary extension instead of Gnutella standard.

Ignored download candidates are peers, which you might not be able to reach now and in the future. This can be out of various reasons. Ignored candidates are hold in memory till shutdown. Its a common way to reduce needless retries, but usually not displayed to the user.
Some of the reasons a candidate might get ignored:
- You and the candidate is firewalled and transfers will never succeed
- You are not firewalled but the other peer but you couldn't find a route back to the firewalled peer to start the download.
- Phex tried a couple of times to connect to that client but always failed and it just gives up.
- The peer reports you it will not let you download because it doesn’t like the Gnutella network.

Private addresses usually get ignored very fast, you either have only a very small chance to connect or no chance at all in case you are firewalled.

Hope it could cleared a few things for you and didn't confuse even more ;-)
Gregor
