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 Bittorrent Users Investigating Gnutella

I am speaking for my self here. Neither Gnutellaforums or any of the software clients listed here may agree with me or had anything to do with this post.

There is a lot of heat lately regaurding bittorrent file shareing.

In a legal case against the Cox Internet Service Provider, Cox was prevented from using the fact that bittorrent has tons of legal traffic on its network.

Cox also lost that case. Bittorrent is not going away and piracy over its network will continue. With that said, ISPs will be taking another look at how they handle notices from Piracy Trolls that piracy is pointing to users of their service.

Additionally, priacy trolls are also getting more aggressive with users of bittorrent that use the network for piracy.

Now I know that it is debatable whether or not digital copies of data is actually piracy. That aside, it does not mean people aren't getting sued or settling outside of court because of it.

If you are here investigating gnutella as an alternative, keep in mind that this sort of thing is what caused Limewire a lot of trouble.

Gnutella needs more users. I don't and won't turn people away regardless of their intentions for the network. Even spam clients are useful to developers. There are 1000's of free PDFs, 100's of legally shareablr videos and movies (countless more if they are homemade like youtube videos), tons of opensource sofware applications, 1000's of free music albums and an unlimited number of wallpapers and other picture files that could be shared over the network. Please overload the network with that content.

I can't condone illegal file-sharing. But if you are going to do it anyway think a little before you act. Don't download anything that is real new. Make sure that you have the most recent hostile IP list for you gnutella client of choice.

If you are more into sharing illegal content and less about downloading, here are somethings to keep in mind.

If you downloaded the content from somewhere else the file can be recognized as illegal content because of its file hash. To change this you must repackage the file either by puting it into a compressed container or encrypting it. This will provide the file with a new hash that will not associate it with known illegal content.

Being close or even relatively close in size to the known illegal file is also not a good idea. While this is less of an issue, it still is not a bad idea to put the file in a compression container of some kind with an extra file or two. Something like snapshots, text files, or anything to add a little to the file size.

A more obvious problem is the file name. If the file is named "Terminator Genisys- HD.mp4" you are looking for trouble. Even "TG2015HDrip.rar" is really only a little better. You should give the file a even more cloaked name like 1040ajr3x.zip. Then share that file name with your friends or peers so they can download it. If you are really serious give them the file magnet link so they can use that to directly find the file.

Even with all of this you are still at risk of a piracy troll finding the file, unzipping it and nailing you to the wall. So you should also password encrypt the file with a really long password. Along with the cloaked filename and magnet link, you can give your friends the really long password.

I want to be clear that I'm not condoning any of the above. But, if you do all of the above you'll keep the network, I am developing for, from getting an even worse name. And if you somehow still get a notice from a piracy troll, then you'll know that someone in your piracy forum(s), or whatever your circle of trust is, has a bad egg in it. And most importantly you keep new, young/old, and inexperienced users from getting themselves in trouble. The last thing I want is some 90 year old lady downloading some trashy bondage movie and getting sued by the porn company that produced it.

Already read these articles and got the point that you are speaking here for yourself
That's good. I also have well experience about file sharing soft. few are really working better, few are so so but cost is same that's the main problem.

Already I Overcome these barriers and still sharing with a great strength. I'm sharing few important files in a popular site. That's really better and giving us better facilities, Like 1gb sharing facilities for the unregistered and 2gb for registered and unlimited for premium members
