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.

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.

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.

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 Browse Host from Upload tab

On the uploads tab, there is a button at the bottom to "browse host" yet every time I try to browse a host that uploaded from me, Im unsuccessful. I think that this is because the port displayed is not the correct listening port.

Whats the point of a "browse host" button on the upload tab if it uses the wrong port to connect? Is there a way to determine the correct listening port of the hosts listed in my uploads tab so that I may browse?

I used the "Upload.UploadStateLogBuffer=10000" method as posted on this forum to view the upload logs. There isnt much of an exchange of information on the part of the remote user. I attached a screen capture. My IP is the "Host" (blocked out in yellow for obvious reasons). The remote users IP is seen underlined in yellow however there is no listening port anywhere in this header. I tried several different users with the same results.

Thanks

I'd rather assume that many of the hosts just aren't browsable - most aren't these days (reason: fear).

I tested with two computers on different networks. The listening port was set for 44444 but after a completed upload I tried to browse back and Phex tried to connect to port 2404.

Clearly from the screen capture above, there is no indicated port in the log. It looks as though Im only getting half of the conversation? There should be an "X-node" or something similar indicating the correct listening port.

That sounds like Phex somehow getting the wrong information.

From Phex to Phex it worked for me, though (got the correct port).

How did you try it?
Are you firewalled?

@Gregor: Can you check it?

Both boxes are firewalled however I was able to browse and download back and forth (both using Phex 3.2). When I select "browse host" of one of the remote hosts in my uploads list, it simply is trying to connect to the port specified for the upload in the handshake rather than identifying the listening port.

I just installed the latest Phex and just happened to have an upload from another Phex user with ver 3.2.6. When I clicked "browse host" for him, the same thing happened. Phex tried to connect to his upload port rather than his listening port. Not sure why this isnt working for me.

When I download from a remote host (using a network data analyzer) Im sending the following info to him. As you can see from the following paste, the "X-Node" entry shows my correct ip address and listening port in the header. Im transmitting the info but when a host downloads from me, Im unable to see his correct port.

Im not sure that anyone cares about this thread and Ill try not to beat this issue to death...

I tried "browse host" on the uploads tab with remote hosts using several versions of LW, Phex, Shareaza, Frostwire, and Gift.

The only time browse host worked on the listening port is when the line "X-Node" appears in the header. In my case it only worked for a 4.12 and 4.14 version of LW. I included screen captures for several versions of LW to compare. If it didnt say "X-Node", the browse would try the wrong port and would fail.

I care about this problem, but I can't fix it myself.

I'm not sure if Gregor can (might be misbehaviour of other clients), but I assume it can be fixed at least for inter-Phex uploads.

Many thanks for gathering such exhaustive information about it!

I guess this is one of the most changed headers I remember... Phex checks all these header to find the listening port:
X-Node, X-Listen-IP, Listen-IP, X-My-Address

Over the years every one or the other client used one of the headers, and they were changed multiple times forth and back. To my knowledge the last officially specified header to use is X-Node. But I could be wrong.

Apparently Limewire again changed the header and kept it as always as there personal secret. I assume the new header Limewire is using is X-FW-Node-Info, the new format is of course not specified anywhere else then in the source....
I guess the header change was done to support push proxy, which would help to make browse more reliable. But it won't help if only Limewire knows how it works...

It just stands to reason that if someone downloads a file from me, then maybe they have similar files that I would like to browse/ download from them as well.

Not a HUGE issue but too bad it doesn't always work as it should. Clearly LW has made some changes.

Thanks for the replies guys. Please let me know if you do discover a work around.

Should we just ask in the_gdf and see if they reply with useful info?
