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.

Cheesy Windows 7

I heard rumors M$ were going to be copying several features from Apple's OSX. Looking at some snapshots of Windows 7 it seems that is true. The new Taskbar is almost a direct copy from OSX's 10+ year old Dock feature. Semi transparency .. another take from OSX. Widgets, another take. Soon Windows will be running OSX. nah .. windows is still based on that ancient DOS system whilst OSX is on the much more secure & directory efficient Unix system. But I wonder if win 7's task bar can be 'animated' like OSX's Dock can. Next they'll be copying the dashboard .. or have they already lol. (Mac's features do not look so 'plastic' as window 7's dupes.)

wow .. don't M$ have 'any' designers with 'original' ideas? Or is it their original ideas that create so many bugs & security holes in their softwares. lol

Default Windows 7.0

Well LOTR

Windows 7 is not so much about features, but there will be enough to keep the techies happy, as it is about selling computers and computer related peripherals.

First of all, when Win7 goes live consumers will need more powerful, i.e. new, computers, just to get the O/S to move. So throw out the old stuff, it won't work anymore, and get your shiny new computers. This is "good" for Intel, AMD and all the makers of various peripherals and software.

Second, it keeps a lot of IT technical people, i.e. consultants, network experts, software writers, etc. in jobs. In order to keep their skills up to date they have to learn about the new O/S.

Third, It keeps the qualification/examination cycle going and IT training centres open.

So, ladies and gents, Win7 may have old or new features but it's primary concern is to keep the IT industry (or a big part of it) going.

Therefore, we will always get a new Win O/S every few years, after the old one stops making money for MS, and we will always fall for it thinking that we are getting something new and exciting.

I would say to those looking to buy new computers with Win7 pre installed, just be careful that you don't buy old stock PCs, which were designed for XP or Vista, with Win7 installed. PC manufacturers have a habit of selling off their old stock as "New O/S Ready" when the CPU and installed memory are not powerful enough to run the new O/S.

While I agree with a lot of that, there is one thing I've heard quite different. Every single person I've talked to about W7 says it's much better and much less cpu cycle and RAM wasting than VISTA. It has far less driver problems than VISTA ever did. As a whole I got very positive feedback.

I haven't tried it myself, so I can't speak from own experience.

I will be buying a new Laptop with two drives and lots of room now, so I'll probably at least try to dual boot XP and W7 at first to see how it runs.

yep....because windoze products detect each other...

just in case you don't know...windoze will automatically create a boot loader menu, i.e. there is no need for any special software...the last OS installed will be the first on the created list...

I suggest for ease of defragmentation you create partitions on each of the drive for the OS...I use 30GB partitions...you only need to defragment the OS and its associated softwares...so what I do is to either download to another partition, or move information out of the OS partition after downloading...it takes a hell of a lot less time to defragment 30GB as opposed to lets say 160 GB...

also, if you acquire a lot of archived materials its way faster to extract to another physical HDD....

For many years now (10+) I've been in habit of keeping all personal & sharing files off the OS drive. And where possible installing the apps to a partition of their own. Thus having static & dynamic drives & partitions. So if a drive fails .. I don't necessarily lose important info. The harder working drives likely to fail before the others. And on OSX there are other advantages with VM & scratch disk options. Some apps behave better on a drive/partition of their own (on mac at least). But then, some OSX apps demand to be installed on the system drive & might refuse to run/update (properly) unless situated there.

Edit: I guess I should mention I have 4 internal HDD's. Two of these are partitioned. Due to the way OSX works, I leave the OSX system drive to itself so it can make use of VM without the drive needing to spend energy on anything other than the system where possible. I divide the disks & partitions up according to purpose (7). Video work, p2p & audio & video work, system, iTunes, applications, static documents, & an alternate system drive. As suggested above, I've used a similar work approach for many years on my previous mac computers. A handful of firewire 400/800 external drives for backup. Apple's Time Machine seems extremely good for backup.
