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 Updated Documentation?

Tell me if I've looked in the wrong place, but after downloading v2 I looked everywhere for UltraPeer information. Searching the website for 'ultrapeer' returns no results.

I was very frustrated that I wasn't getting good search results and there appeared to be very few searches coming through. After reading this thread I understand Ultrapeer better, and have discovered that the search results actually range from bad to quite good (much like they did before Ultrapeer).

Anyway, the bandwidth reduction seems good, so I am less concerned about leaving Limewire running on my University connection now and plan on keeping it up more. Sadly I am not seeing any uploads of my 183 shared MP3 files (most fairly popular).

The point here is that this is a MAJOR new feature with no documentation. Experienced Limewire users have no idea what's going on, and they can't find any information about it. In the interests in furthuring Gnutella, I am willing to spend some time working on the documentation. I have enough programming experience (HyperTalk, Pascal, C, Java, PHP, SQL in that order) to understand algorithms and write accurate descriptions. I'd love to hack on the code too, but I don't think I have the experience to make that effective.

Default Acute Problems

Limewire - whoever you are:

I paid for LimeWire Pro 2.0. It does not work. I leave it connected for hours. It finds nothing. I have modulated all options. I understand how UltraPeer works.

I am not alone. Hundreds of users have posted regarding this problem. My friends will not use LimeWire now.

Whatever the problem is, fix it. Update your website tonight with a note that says "We know there is a problem. We are fixing it." Because we are all. very. annoyed.

*sigh*

Purchased LW Pro tonight cause I have had good experience with LW before. I have up until now been a Morpheus/FastTrack user. I get far far better results, faster downloads and everything generally superior with FastTrack, and even with previous versions of LW. I'm beginning to regret this purchase - token sum as it may be. I don't like throwing money away.

Someone from LimeWire - please explain why I get such crap results with this new client? Otherwise, how do I get my money back? I'll wait for Morpheus 2.0 instead - after all, it'll span the Gnutella network as well as the FastTrack, I imagine I'll get far better results with that than LW can ever dream of.

Default Same guy as above

Okay, I just edited a configuration file for LW and forced it to be a supernode at all times. Back comes all my functionality! I can find files again.

Now before you say that I'm breaking your precious supernode concept by forcing myself to be one - consider that I'm not getting correct functionality from the product I purchased unless I modify the configuration file. When you get the problems ironed out - I'll consider reversing the setting.

Default make an ultrapeer intermediate stage

Fine. Ultrapeer. Whatever. In the meantime you have rendered the program essentially useless ... not that it was terribly useful on the Mac to begin with. (On that note, what is a Mac user to do in order to get a good peer-to-peer client? Is there absolutely NOTHING out there? That hurts.)

For the next several versions of Limewire, keep the ultrapeer thing up and running BUT don't cause all other connections to be dropped. I understand you are trying to seed ultrapeer slowly but surely. But no one is going to run this software if it is totally useless. I'm going to shut the piece of **** down now and go back to a previous version that at least returns some hits -- even if those hits are often unintelligible and irrelevant.

And as you get ultrapeer up and running, refine search criteria as you have started to do in Mac version 2.0.2.

I appreciate your efforts and thank you, but it sure is frustrating to have my only possible peer-to-peer client go from bad to worse.

Default It would help...

... if the general Limewire docs actually applied to the new version. They don't. This makes things confusing for average people who don't find the one link to the forums page and then spend a couple of hours sifting through the good and bad posts here. The standard docs really need some updating since this is a release version now.

Sorry, I should have clarified: those documents are intended for developers interested in contributing to the LimeWire open-source effort. Yes, the user manual still needs updating.

Lightbulb Query Routing

Hi, I'm just reading your .doc about query rounting... You guys should have a look at

freenetproject.org

Maybe you can find some useful ideas there.

Default freenet

Freenet has very different goals then Gnutella. As far as I know, Freenet doesn't have keyword search. So QRP "query routing" and Freenet "query routing" are really apples and oranges.
