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 (* 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.

Default bearshare help

I have the free bearshare account.
everything is working fine in terms of downloading songs, but the "people" tab on the left hand side no longer lets me browse people online for chat and stuff.
Any ideas whats going on?
does this feature expire?
Is their servers down or something?
I have emailed bearshare so i will post their answer up here if anyone is having the same problems:
When you click on people, the central area where you would normally see peoples profiles just says "page not found", there is no info about this message on any help site....i turned off all firewalls just in case something was being blocked but im at a loss.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Next time just go to the /db/ folder of BearShare and replace the Library files with the backups.
That usually works the first time and you don't lose your settings.

Default BearShare and BearStart

Sorry Aaron but I just downloaded the Beta version of BearShare and the BearStart utility and I got a message that the version and its key had expired.
Any other ideas?

Sometimes the database gets corrupted. That's why BearShare keeps the backups
and attempts to keep a journal going so it can do repairs. If the repairs fail, that's
when you get the error message, and that's when you use the backups.

Default BearShare Sabotaged

I read through your 1/17/08 post and used your BearStart link. All went well. I've setup all my downloaded music in one location: iTunes.
As a field trial, I downloaded one mp3 song using BearShare. The song appeared in my music library and iTunes.
All the folders in my iTunes library are marked for sharing. When I open "Library" in BearShare all my folders are there, but below is a list marked "My Files" and among other things two folders marked "Shared" and "Unshared". Only 13 songs out of a possible 1,163 songs are in the shared folder. There are no songs in the "unshared" folder. Also, in iTunes you can view files deemed Library>Music as well as synchronizing all music with the iTunes file library. My test song appears in iTunes Library>Music but won't synchonize so a copy appears in the shared iTunes library folder.
It is my desire to share all my downloaded music with the BearShare community but I'm stuck as to how to do this. I checked the version of BearShare I'm using and it's 5.1.0b25.
Am I not getting something here or do I need to proceed with process that will allow all my music to be shared.
