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.

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.

Does not "open sourse" mean that they will still connect? .....I'm not telling you ....I'm wondering if I am correct as I'm not sure.


Sgt welcome back!

open source means many things I don't understand, but at least it means you are allowed to look at the code, line by line. If the source was closed, you are not allowed to see those lines.

As far as LW's open source, you can copy it, change it, and distribute it. Hell--that's what the scammers have been doing.

The gnutella protocol is just a set of rules that allows computers to talk to each other. As long as one computer is running a gnutella client, another computer that knows the rules can connect to it, find out what files are being shared, and ask to download those files.

Heh--sounds so easy: but lw's code is currently about 1 million lines.

and welcome back. good to hear others can get the files they might want.

I'm just a humble user and don't know anything about how to alter code. That's why I asked if it will still allow us to connect without a struggle. Sounds like it still may. Good to hear. so, even if they try to put LW out of business we can still access Gnutella?

HA! - stick it RIAA!

Thumbs up

So far it looks like y'all are doing a good job at providing those installers.
I did a search on "LimeWire 4.9.30" and there was 195 people that had it.

Too bad that they aren't going to allow nonlicenced sharing in later versions...
Well, good luck.

LimeWire's legacy is safe now: Thanks to the work of many (trap_jaw and ultracross in particular), installers are available that can keep up with the best features of the LimeWire development. See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/forumd...?s=&forumid=86

So, users will be able to have a smooth transition if they choose. Personally, I'm still hoping the US legal system will allow a way for LW to continue without having to be threatened or crippled by incredibly expensive legal fees.

4.9.30 is ok

4.9.37 (the current version) is OK too.

In fact, they should all be OK for a while. I imagine that if the restrictionsever are actually implemented, the news will be pretty widespread. Just keep your old installers to save some time.

Don't worry--we're all hoping LW's leaders will not be forced into restrictions.

I have .30 but in basic and I WILL never part with it and will keep on using it untill the day it stops working. Im not gonna worry about it and neither am I gonna switch to any Limewire clone or knockoff, LW is one of the frew free ones without forced ads or nags to get you to upgrade or pay for a pro.

I suspect Sphinx is getting muddled with Bearshare again <GRIN>
