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.

Unhappy

It feels that limewire is starting to do the same thing. For example i will be downloading great at about 30KB\s and all of a sudden all downloads drop down to 0KB\s and finally i have to wait in line all over again. And even when it picks up it is very slow. What used to take me 2 hours to download a movie file is now taking 2-3 days. Any suggestions, please help me.

You're in the BearShare forum

Use the forum search to look for speed dropping, slow download speed or something similar.

Try downloading a file from here & see what speed you get

I think Shareaza (Raza) hosts can sometimes boot you back down the queue

Waiting in Line, Position 1, 2, 3 ... 27! Ack!
in process of downloading then -->suddenly, "waiting in line"

Any ideas AaronWalkhouse? I ran the BearStart utility. This problem has happened to me with all version 5 BearShares. The only version I've been able to run was version 6 which is obviously a different program design. I'm running Windows 2000 on VPC.

It shouldn't be possible at all in a virtual machine.
Try booting it into Win2K natively instead.

I keep getting an error whenever i try any type of bearshare other than that sucky version 6. i get through all the installation, but when i get to Would you kile to run bearshare now?...Stuff begins to **** me off.

Here's what it says

"this program has been damaged, possibly by a bad sector of the hard drive or a virus. Please reinstall it"

I scanned countless times, it worked for a damn good while after 6 came out and now....Ugh..Any tips?

I'm hearing from other AOL users that this was caused by a buggy update to
that AOL Security Center software. It might have misidentified a virus inside
BearShare and tried to remove it, damaging the program instead.

BTW does AOL Security Center affect BearShare in the same way it affects LimeWire? For LW it misidentifies it & attempts to remove it. Perhaps Bearshare should be put on its 'safe list'!!! I believe AOL security uses Pestpatrol & it incorrectly identifies p2p programs as spyware even if they don't possess it. But then, I wouldn't be surprised if some BS versions do have it ... such as version 6.

Uninstall the AOL Security Center and then find the Pest Patrol folder in Program
Files and delete that folder manually. After a reboot it should be safe, so go to
the first post in this thread, download BearShare 5.1.0b25 and BearStart and
install them into a brand new folder.

After you removed pest Patrol, did you make sure to reboot and delete the remnants?

If not, it could have remained active and damaged your brand new install as it
was in progress. In any case, you should completely delete the damaged
BearShare folder before trying again. Sometimes installing over top of an
existing folder fails to replace damaged files, particularly if the damaged files
look newer to the installer program or if a buggy security program is still active
and interfering.

Another fellow came to Technutopia yesterday and succeeded with this same
problem, so it is possible.

Don't forget to uninstall that AOL Security Center and reboot if you didn't do
that yet. It has been identified as a likely culprit too.

Hi,

I installed the version in post 1 and BS connects great. Only trouble is the key expired thing.

If I close BS and then open it again, the key expired pop up comes up. So I change my clock back to 01/07/05 and can then open BS. Once it's opened I change the date back to today's date and it runs ok.

But this means that every time I want to open BS then I have to change the date back to '05 first and then back to '07 once it's opened.

Is there a way around this so I don't have to keep switching the date?

Thanks

You have to use BearStart every time. Change the shortcut you used to start
BearShare to point to BearStart instead.
