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.

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.

Post P2P-Philanthropy

Peer-to-peer technology gets a lot of bad press but not much attention is paid to the efforts of those attempting to highlight the non-infringing uses of P2P. Since 2002 one company has embraced P2P technology as a delivery platform for content distribution.

This month we decided to kick our peer to peer philanthropy into high gear by investing some
capital into some high speed nodes. of our first objective was to find a high-speed dedicated hosting provider. On May 5, 2004 we accomplish this goal by selecting server pronto as our dedicated server host. They offer starter servers for $29.95 per month. LeeWare Development purchased two servers to increase our node count to 9. It took a few days to overcome some management challenges but basically the integration of these two nodes came off without a hitch.

Provisioning for these new servers basically required the following steps:

#1 personalizing the server by changing its default configuration.

#2 uploading a file sharing package(s) i.e. we use giFT because our servers don't come with GUI interface.

#3 configure, compile, and configure the giFT components

#4 Finally selecting a front-end application to attach to the remote servers for management purposes.

Server specifications:

Processor: AMD Athon 2000+
Memory: 256MB SDRAM
HardDisk: 40GB
OS: Red Hat Fedora
Connection: 100Mbps

Cost Analysis:

2 servers @ $149 each = $298 + 1 month of service per server @ $29.95 each =$ 59.90
Total startup costs: $357.90 the return on investment for this implementation is five months.

LeeWare Development has a huge content library our first major project is to upload the content to the servers. We broke this implementation into stages:

stage 1: upload apps library 2.5 GB of content (79 files) status = done
stage 2: upload wmv library 5.98 GB of content (152 files) status = done
stage 3: upload avi library < 1 GB 14.6 GB of content (176 files) status = done
stage 4: upload avi library >= 1GB 31.9GB of content (24 files) status = pending

Current server status:

Currently there are no nodes online as we are in the process of porting content to those servers.
however, we plan to go live with the service so the content is available just before LimeWire releases version 4.0 of LimeWire.

Community Support:

We hope that you'll support us by downloading and sharing the content you find useful.

Preliminary testing results:

we turned up one of the nodes on the Gnutella network over the weekend and we saw the following which should be very exciting to the file sharing community.

We saw uploads in the 2-6Mbps throughput range. We distributed about 1,700 files in about a few hours. This should allow anyone with a broadband connection to experience P2P in the way it was intended.

I hope that you enjoy the new services and we will keep you posted on our progress.

Post Service Live

This service is live now. We've seen some content go out @ 4-6Mbps This of course makes large file downloads a little less painless.

Hi Lee--thanks for the magnets.

I'm not sure of the problem (looks like you formatted for shareaza urn bitprints rather than LW magnets, but your magnets aren't working here). They get as far as bringing LW's search pane to the foreground, but then nothing more happens. Here's a sample comparison (I addeded spaces to break up the lines):

magnet:%3Fxt=urn:bitprint:GTZ5R3W55GPBXCTGDUBLE3W5 XCKY3MMA.YMCD LVROXQUB3QUUWV6CX67TDRWYW6MIXOBVYAQ& dn=CBT%20-%20Using%20ipconfig%20on%20Windows%202000.wmv

magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:GB2WZIGYNF5RVDFQR73HR3KBJYV6ES UZ&dn= TheQuickFixKills_Pick_Your_Poison.mp3&xs= http://64.61.25.138:6346/uri-res/N2R? urn:sha1:GB2WZIGYNF5RVDFQR73HR3KBJYV6ESUZ

I double-checked by downloading a few magnets from magnetmix.com (worked fast and fine), and then searched for CBT .wmv files. However, I couldn't figure out which IP belonged to the new server.

Actually, I took a shortcut when creating those magnet links. I found an old dump of the magnet links I created when using shareaza. I've tried to create links with LimeWire but there doesn't appear to be a way to do them in bulk i.e. all file in the library at once. It appears that you have to do each link one at a time which can be painful if you have over 400 files. like I do. If you know of a way of doing this I will replace the magnets I've posted with ones that point towards my high-speed hosts.

--Right now, I don't have any nodes up on the gnutella network. please see the news for an explaination.

http://www.leeware.com/news.html

Also I need help starting LimeWire without the GUI. Currently I'm using giFT but I don't think that it connects me to an active horizon on the Gnutella network.

I see. Others would know how to do bulk magnets (only needed one to be able to locate and browse the host).

Anyways, looks like most of your content is geared for Windows, and as a Mac user, I avoid wmv files.

Best wishes anyway--hope you can get your faceless gnutella.

Cheers

To create links in bulk you ca use Phex.

Just access it at its port (point your webbrowser to it).

It replies with a page with old "gnutella:"-links.

I wrote some info on how to do it in the Phex-Forum:
