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.

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.

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.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

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.

Direct Connect is not nearly as good as gnutella. Although it might have more content (and the amount of shared files is depending only on the users) it lack vital features like swarming.

The main problem of DirectConnect is, that it's centralized and it can be shut down very easily.

Nope, if more people would share files, then LimeWire would give you as good results as DC does. Currently 30% of all gnutella users aren't sharing any files at all and many of the others are only sharing very few files.

Smile I know I keep going on....

I know I keep going on about D C but they seem to have a mininum file share limit before you can join a connection.

Is that not possable on Lime wire?

DC's minimum file share limit can be easily circumvented, if you are not using the official client, since some of the open-source clients don't play by the rules.

With gnutella it's even worse. There are literally dozens of different clients and many of them are either not developed anymore or their developers aren't even willing to adopt to those rules, so I think no, it's not possible. There'll always be anti-social people on the network, not sharing any files or spamming the network with queries.

I understand your point about a minimum number of shared files, but still...

Some of my friends have no idea how to generate their own content. If they can't download because they're not sharing, and they're not sharing because they can't download, how would a minimum number of shared files help the network?

Easy to say how Gnutella Dev. can push the people to share!!!!

Build the client so when other's clients connect, if the connecting people don't share enought or don't give enought BW to the net they are stuck to low level performance.

Don't Share?
I give you only 1/2 kB/s of content (so you pay in time what you save don't sharing) and always serve you after the sharing people (maybe also I say you why)

If one have not big share, demote it on the queue.
Maybe divide GB/time waiting, so more you share less you wait.

Bottom line.
DC is more elitist because it allow few leecheers, but it work.

I would like to thank the starter of this post for giving me another tool for file sharing. To be onest with you ive been using Direct connect for 4 days so far and basically For me it has everything that i need.

1. Can chat with other hosts
2. Browse function for every user
3. No stupid errors after 6 hrs of downloading to get at 89% and Limewire to decide O yea i cant move this to ure libraray so tough (most infuriating thing ever)
4. LOts and i mean LOTS more content i was very suprised when i first logged on at how much people was sharing and i was like wow and only just able to scrape 5gb of actual shareable files
5. No Requery (which doesnt work at ALL)


There are of course disadvantages:

1. No swarming (but about 5 times limewire has merged two files i.e evangelion episode 2 start download and when i come back its changed to evangelion episode 3 cause they was same size) obviously when i opened it just didnt work GRRRR

2.Not connected to multiple hosts (altho limewire hosts never seem to have anything i want at all unless i came across a Morpheous 1.8.... supernode which i have seen 4 times ( got 5 times more results than before connecting to it)



O well i suppose it did turn into a rant but im just saying ill keep limewire as a second backup P2p now and use Direct connect cause i find it much more useful sorry.


O yea Number 3 caused me to try DC because it was very annnoying and i thought well what chances of i actually getting things on limewire with all these stupid bugs ( i havent seen any of these bugs so far on DC probably are some but not as bad as LW)
