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.

BearShare does not block any host connections by user agent.

But, it does not support 0.4 connections, and it actively blocks hostile IP addresses.

Note that BearShare is not the only servent dropping support for 0.4 handshakes:

Angry BS/LW and now a new..........

Everyone is talking about the good and bad features of Bearshare and LimeWire and how they affect the Gnutella network.

But, right now there is a new threat being posed to the health of Gnutella....... MorpheusOS! It is already affecting downloads from other clients because it quickly replaces other client ultrapeers with its own.

Ahh - I can see the confusion.

This is an illusion caused by the large number of Morpheus users that migrated to Gnutella.

They don't "replace" other clients ultrapeers with their own, there's just a lot of them.

So far, none or few of the Ultrapeer election/promotion (?) schemes that i've had described to me account for the large number of ultrapeers already on the gnutella network.

Correct me if i'm wrong but, if there were already a large number of (morpheus) ultrapeers on the gnutella network, ... wouldn't that decrease the number of clients that will become ultrapeers? I was under the impression that all clients should prefer being a "leaf", unless they encounter very few Ultrapeers.

I see what you mean.

I think you're right, Morpheus screwed it up for everyone.

It is understanding that the issue with Morpheus resides within the default configuration as it is installed resulting in folks becoming uptrapeers that either do not have the resources or the configuration is improper in some way -- resulting in the net being flooded with these improperly performing Uptrapeers.

Default CYDOOR

I have a couple of computers that my teenagers use and of course both are Gnutella users. Investigating a seriouse performance issue with one of the machines yesterday. ADAWARE tells me that CYDOOR is all over both of these machines. I used ADAWARE to remove this but it returned. The PC runs limewire and I believe from these forums that is where cydoor was picked up.

My question is what Gnutella client can I run on these PCs that will behave in a manner that does not include spy-ware or other unknown-ware on my PC? In the past I swapped from BearShare to LimeWire due to simular actions.

Thanks

BearShare can be installed without additional bundled advertising products (called Adware).

Simply uncheck the boxes at the time of installation - anyone who tells you otherwise is probably named Morgwen.

Vinnie tell the truth... I never said that it isn´t optional, I said its SPYWARE you call it ad-aware, but I think it doesn´t matter what I say you hate me because I SAY WHAT THINK...
