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 (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... 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. To aid helpers in solving download/upload problems, LimeWire and Frostwire users must specify whether they are downloading a torrent file or a file from the Gnutella network.
Members 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. 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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

I have recently become a victim of this.

For the last week I have been unable to connect, and can't figure out why.

We have 2 computers here, both running through the same wireless router. Both computers have the same settings, but mine won't connect!!

I have run Beardiag, but the results are complete gibberish. But they are virtually identical for both machines (the only difference being the part about operating systems/computer specs etc)

It makes no sense why 1 machine won't connect, yet the other has no problems.

I have tried the port forwarding suggestions, the resetting of the router suggestion, and pretty much everything else that these forums (and others) suggest.

In the end I decided to back up all my files, reformat my drive, and reinstall windows and the bearshare program (in case there was a virus or something I could not detect on my system), but still it just says 'hosts not connected'.......


This is driving me crazy. Does anyone have a definitive answer as to why this is happening????

Is there a solution????

Default Same problem here...

Both my laptop and desktop were doing fine.
I had to restore my desktop and I re-installed Bearshare Lite.
It always has the "not connected" red light on top.
On my laptop, which I haven't restored is still working fine.
To me it seems that this problem occurs when you re install the program.

The reason why bearshare isn't connecting is because private1.bearshare.net is down so he can't update his hosts.

I've been noticing it for about a year now I think...it happens when I haven't used BS in a couple of weeks...sometimes it was definitely because of PG@ blocking the bearshare.net IP addy (which I FINALLY figured out and unblocked that IP for a few minutes) and sometimes its because a new list can't be found..

either way I've gone for forced UP mode and notice that in that setup it eventually gets connected to mostly LW hosts, then as its able to find BS peers via the LW connections and upon next startup (as long as that startup is within a day or so) will usually get connected immediately and to mostly BS peers....I haven't had to change my connect.txt file as of yet, though I did try it out once and it did work....

Dance Bearshare will not connect - red light no hosts - fixed

I had the same problem and this fixed it for me (from another forum)....

You probably need a fresh host cache. Shut down BearShare and unzip this into C:\Program Files\BearShare\db\
