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.

Unhappy GUESS in 2003 or 2004?

Wow,
Is it just me or is it taking for ever to wait for the much hyped GUESS? I hope its worth the wait. With all due respect to the developers, advancing the gnutella network at such a slow rate is not going to sufficiently win people over. Fasttrack has been out for over a yr and gnutella still pales in comparison. I agree with the Mike at Shareaza for doing something bold. I m sure GUESS will improve search results but what is still missing is the scalability to search the whole network. Maybe that is the next step and is in the works. Nobody wants to wait yrs just to get a network that performs as well as those several yrs past. I dont mean to come off as abrasive but this is how I feel.

However, I do appreciate the effort by the LW developers and others.
Any projected release dates on 3.0?

3.0 will probably be released next month. There are still a couple of projects that are not complete, like using 19 instead of 6 inner ultrapeer connections (while reducing ttl from 6 to 4), using qrp for ultrapeer connections, improved firewall detection, vendor messages. - I'm not sure about magnet links will be ready in the next version... but I hope so. The GUESS implementation is already working in the development version (well it has been working more or less for about two months now).

Latest news is, that UDP will not be used for searches despite LimeWires prior announcements and their efforts to implement GUESS. The latest development ultrapeers have 42 intra-ultrapeer connections, TTL is reduced to 4 and query-requests will be sent to one of the ultrapeer connections at a time so LimeWire will be able to stop the query once it has a certain number of results. GUESS won't allow such an extensive use of QRP as this scheme does and searching 50,000 ultrapeers with GUESS would be a pain while it isn't a problem for a TCP searches.

That is not a joke. UDP for searches is more trouble then it seems. The improved TCP searching will allow LimeWire to search about 50,000 ultrapeers according to Greg Bildson (the gnutella network currently has no more than about 20,000 ultrapeers). In addition it will allow the servent to make use of QRP between ultrapeers and flow-control if necessary,

GUESS as it was had the problem that it was relying on the pongs it was receiving via TCP and together with querykeys there was not much bandwidth improvement over TCP searches. I believe for global urn searches CHORD or KADEMLIA (or even an improved version of current download meshes) could work much better than GUESS and I don't believe we need global keyword searches.

I admit I was a little disappointed GUESS would not be implemented, but when I think about it now, selective querying will work much better.

Default LW better live up to expectations

OK.
The wait is really long. I hope for LWs sake they bring to the table some type of network improvement that finally brings gnutella up to the performance of fasttrack. I ve been a patient LW fan for yrs but I cant wait my whole life to have a decent functioning network. I may have to abandon ship if things dont significantly improve quickly. Gnutella needs to be a leader and not a follower in p2p technology.

I agree completely. I've not been using LimeWire that much lately because Gnutella is in such a pitiful state.
