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 New LW beta soon ?

How about a new LW beta release?

At least one that fixes the Upload Slot 0Kbs Lockups....

IMHO, LW 2.5.5 Pro is broken to the point where a beta should be rushed somewhat.... I'm been checking around the site for two or three weeks, sort of expecting a fix sooner.... but figured it was time to ask.

I gotta go, and "Kill Uploads" that got stuck since writing this...

Angry I feel with you

Hi John Ream,

I already posted this problem twice: Threads "severe transfer obstructions" from 08-15-2002, and "slowing down uploads until deadlock" from 07-09-2002, but the reaction was only: this is only a "minor bug". And a promise that it will be corrected in the next version.

Now I am looking daily in this forum for a new beta version because this system behaviour is really boring. My reaction now is to lock the hosts which make problems.

Regards: Hermann

the temporary fix would be to put the bandwidth throttling bar to 100% -- meaning no throttling. that _will_ fix the problem, because the code that had the bug was only called from the throttled uploader.

Most of the 0k uploaders are just a minor bug, indeed, since they are shown by the gui, but the LimeWire core already skipped those, so the overall upload abilities are not reduced.

However there are actually two kinds of 0k uploaders, there's the kind I described above, which is just a minor bug, that actually has already been fixed in the development code. The other kind is caused by unresponsive remote clients downloading from you. It will take LimeWire a couple of minutes to identify those and to drop them. - However, there have been rumors about malicious servents that start downloads and reduce the download speed almost to zero, to take away upload slots. I don't know if those rumors are true, but they might be.

The next beta will be out in a few (two or three) weeks, I think. The LimeWire devs are currently working on some major improvements to the gnutella protocol.

i don't think they are true, kieger -- i ran with the most current dev version for many many days, and although i previously had seen _lots_ of 0kb/s uploads, i saw absolutely zero afterwards. what i did see were more accurate descriptions of clients that disconnect, show 0kb/s for awhile, and then eventually show interupted.

Hi (Krieger?),

this is really a good workaround. It's running already some hours in this mode and there are no more troubles.

Thanks so much for this hint, I'm completely happy!

You are right: There are still 0k-Uploaders, but more rarely than before I removed the throttle. With this system behaviour I can wait until the next beta release will be out.

I think it is true what krieger wrote: there are 2 kinds of 0k Uploaders.

you're right -- there are two kinds. the kind that you'll see if the throttled is set to 100% (no throttling) is a harmless kind -- this one really is a gui bug, meaning that their inclusion does *not* limit or hurt other uploaders. it's just that for some reason, their 'finished' flag never got set, even though they did finish.

These issues are both fixed in the LimeWire 2.6.0 beta. The bug with throttled uploads has actually been in the code for a long time, so it wasn't new to 2.5.5. The other one (where 0 k/s was displayed) is caused by HTTP HEAD requests. The normal HTTP request is a "GET" request, meaning "give me this files" and here's some other "header" information about me and about the file I'm requesting. A HEAD request asks for just the second part -- just exhange headers with me, the extra infomation, but don't actually give me the file. The HEAD requests would show up in the upload window as having made 0 progress because, of course, no file had been sent. Now, those HEAD requests simply get listed as completed (since they are).

Thanks.
