Forum Rules

Support Forums

Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
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
LimeWire and FrostWire users 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.

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.

Exclamation sneaky way to make private LW or BS network

say that you are a egotestical maniac bent on ruling the gnutella world and you think your program is the best so you make a plan to somehow have your client connect to itself mostly without alerting others
how do you do this?
lets say you call your program "bare" because you download naked ladies all the time, it's the best program available!
your plan is amazingly clever, you use the new pong caching! what is that?
every time you connect to another gnutella client it will return about 10 IP addresses of other clients out there so you can build a cache of others to connect to
say that your ego is so big you just couldnt resist and decided to only return IP addrs of "bare" clients only!
this would create a little private network of bare clients and you rule the world!!
anyone who connects to you will then use your list to connect to other clients, which are all bare, and then those bare clients will send more addrs of bare and you rule the world!
wait! someone might find out, so you simply write a little random thing that picks a few non bare IP addrs just to save face, but then your ego decides to leave that out

since you are having fun and rule the world anyway, you make your client start sucking up all the open incoming connections on any non-bare client by constantly connecting to any non-bare client you find, connect, send some pongs all over the network and disconnect, and I mean really hit them over and over without delay
don't do this to your own clients, you need to keep a list of known addrs for bare clients so you don't bother them
and just for fun, if they are mostly connected to your private little bare network, don't hit their incoming ports because you can use them to suck more people into the bare network
now you have a core circle of bare only clients surounded by those crappy competing clients and you can make them look real bad by sending them less results and delaying packets to them
you can get even more fancy and wait till they send out a search, then drop the connection! This should make the bare client look good and make it more popular ($$$$)

real life true story, this is happening now and is why greed doesn't belong on gnutella
its time to start blocking those clients that behave like this
it would be easy to id those clients and if you get too many connections of that type, ban it for 30 minutes

This could explain why bearshare never connected to a Xolox client!

But Limewire is open source you can check if they do it this way!

Limewire uses an own (private) router (router.limewire.com!) that is the reason why you find mostly lw clients - i think so!

limewire does use router.limewire.com, but it also uses connectX.gnutellanet.com

Arrow Clumpy!

Thought this was interesting. From http://www.bearshare.net/forum/showt...hreadid=10413:

Quote:
When we clump the BearShare's together, you'll simply see fewer Gnucleus users on your horizon, therefore the requests should die down.

Blocking wouldn't help.

In the Morpheus case, they were forced to make a fast switch because
of an attack on the FastTrack network, possibly by rival Kazaa.

I fully expect that in order to stay in business they would have to
make sure they offer users a comparable experience to the old network.

On the other hand if it goes on for longer than it should I would
imagine creating a separate network of BearShare-only nodes. This
would solve another problem that has been plaguing the network
recently (fake query hits).

Taken from the GDF message 5754!

Freepeers = Vinnie!

I cant beleive this! So basicly if you aint BS or LW youre not on the network! Maybe they need to go buy their own network.

If you have a commercial interest then you should both operate a host
cache, and include connection preferencing features to make your
clients clump together. This was our solution, and it works quite
nicely without requiring protocol extensions. LimeWire has used that
solution for a while now and it has worked well for them too.
