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.

Hey you fellow old timers, I'm old, but new to Computers so go on & tell us.

My thought is, that you would freeze it if the HDD had begun to fail before loosing all
data, Freeze then plug back in, boot then quickly cut n paste data to another physical
drive.
So go on give the answer:mad:

That's it exactly. Unfortunately, this is only effective if the problem is a bad bearing in the
platter drive or the swing arm. It temporarily tightens things up just enough to get one more
day out of it. The downside is it can sometimes overtighten and destroy the bad bearing and
throw shrapnel into the mix, at which point you must unplug it and either turn it over to a data
recovery firm or recycle it.

I usually park the computer on top of the freezer and keep the drive plugged in all the time.
That can give me enough hours to back up everything.

... and (a BIG secret) - Do all of this desperate stuff using an external HDD case and keep the 'bad' HDD as cold as possible for as long as possible...
(Mind, when freezing for 24 hours, you must place the drive in a sealed bag to make some effort towards limiting moisture probs.)
Hence, if you do the process using an external HDD case, it (the drive) is going to remain cooler just that little bit longer.
Other tip, natch, is to be VERY VERY VERY much prepared and not do a lot of 'thinking' about searching for what you NEED to save.

There is no 'hard and fast' rule re: how much 'access' time you may have...
5 mins to 20 mins is fairly standard.
After that ? Give it to your local school for the kids to dismantle.
(Or, better... Send it to the FBI swearing that it contains anti-Dumfukistani files.
Let THEM try to recover your junk !)

Hey, it might be old, but it still works and is for sure worthy of a mega-jaw-drop from any client or friend who manages to recover his data 'cuz some old sh¡t knew how to do it... MAYBE !?????????????

There are even more crazy things like this that are not only NOT crazy (basic physics on the surface of this planet) but actually work and can also, quite frequently, make the sun shine out yer bottom !

I just park it in the freezer with the cables out to the computer and start working as soon as it
gets cold. You can get a whole day that way and recover virtually all of the data.

How's that for a big [well, clumsily oversized], power-cooled external case?

I was thinking of mentioning the baggie but I eventually stopped doing that because I don't
leave the drive 'on ice' for long before turning the attached computer back on. It cools quicker
without a baggie so it tends to take only about twenty minutes before SpinRite can start
recovering the few lost sectors if any were damaged.

Afterwards they can become an interesting bit of artwork or even a cute [if noisy] desk fan if
the platter bearing is still good enough for that.
