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 ....... 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
LimeWire and FrostWire users 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.

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.

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.

NO, Morpheus MADE KaZaA. OK, Sharman made the software but Morpheus made the network, i say this because if it was not for Morpheus then KaZaA would properly not be as popular as it is today. Morpheus does not contain any sort of virus; get facts straight before posting something.

BTW, i was going to say something else to you, but i would properly get banned for that.

Morpheus has never had any sort of virus. This is just what people say to bleach Morpheus’ name. Morpheus has greatly improved already and more work is being put into it to make it the best file sharing application available!

As I’ve said before, Morpheus 4.2/4.3 is only the beginning!

I wouldn´t say it to loud, Morpheus bundles a lot of crapware and there are/was some between which had viruses. Limewire had two years (?) ago a virus in a program named "clicktillyouwin", the developers said that they don´t check the programs they bundle, they trust to the signed agreement... I suppose the morpheus developers do it the same way.

Not necessarily, some antivirus detectors, such as AVG sometimes detect some things as a virus. As long as everyone using AntiVirus software keep there definitions up-to-date everything will be fine.

I can´t remember which scanners, but there were more people who reported this.... funny was that the Limewire developers removed this crap after some weeks...

Well, maybe it was a virus, but maybe they wanted to have a fresh start by releasing v4.0 free of any bundles. Who knows, only they do.

I talked with Adam Fisk (a former developer) about it he told me some things... the bad thing is that I deleted all my PMs some time ago.

It was not a virus, some virus scanners decieded to consider this a trojan because it was capable of downloading other programs and installing them without asking the user. - By itself it may not have been dangerous but it was a big security risk.

The reason 4.0 is free of any bundles is obviously a new business strategy. There are apparently enough Pro customers to finance further development and by not bundling any software, LimeWire gains credibility and even more users. Ever since spyware became an issue for the average user, bundling software became just bad advertising.

Personally, I don't believe that spyware/adware is really that bad, if you know what your doing, you can always get rid of it again and it's usually not really malicious. It may try gathering some information about surfing habits but you can do the same and more using a couple of webservers and a lot of cookies. If you ever wondered what google is putting into all that cookies it stores in your browser or where those fastclick/hitbox cookies come from, they are for tracking surfing habits, storing which searches you enter in google, which google ads you click. With its market-share, Google can monitor surfers on every website that displays Google ads.

Clicktillyouwin was in LW 2.6 AFAIK, after that they were mainly bundling LimeShop. - Can't seem to remember who they licensed it from, it was not really their own invention.... Was one of the more common pieces of bundled software at the time.

And so do I about Morpheus.

@ Vampmon: T R O L L ! ! !

At least with LW they didn't bundle crap on Mac and Linux and it was possible to compile your own version as I do (trap_jaw too) now. Those things can't be said about the POS company that builds Moprheus isn't it?

Edit: LW came with spywares between released versions 1.8 and 3.8.

et voilà, why don’t you stop being so bias about Morpheus. I am trying to be fair with LimeWire, I even defend it when it’s needed, but you try your all time best to drag Morpheus down, well I’m sorry volia, but it’s not going to work.

Wow knowing what you say on other forums like zeropaid about LW, I think you deserve a:

STOP ACTING AS A TROLL!

I'd like one time that you REALLY read one of my post, then you would realize it all makes sense.
