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.

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. 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.

I don't think so. It is not possible for them to share incomplete files from ed2k on Gnutella, so we will not see that much of their content. Plus, any download from a host connected to both Gnutella and ed2k will very likely be sluggish.
The files in the incoming and temp dir wil be hashed again newhashes will be generated by edonkey and plugins . so yes the temp is shared but also the finished downloads .

gnutella need to get an system that connects clients with the same speed , would be better for those guys who really want to serve the network ,

my upload is 43 kb/s , soon it will be 130 kb/s with a program as overnet it will find partners with the same speed , i spread my files on the gnutella network ( from edonkey) and try to download some back but getting speeds of 1.5 kb/s from clients is not that good after 12 hours running . so i wonder is there any developing for gnutella , are there new things implemented or coming, where can i read that information .

gnutella is oke if everybody share, and upload with some more speed .

The incomplete files cannot be hashed for Gnutella (SHA-1 of the full file) so they can't be shared.

No, it would be better for guys who really want to download at the highest possible speeds. And you would probably waste a lot of bandwidth on additional protocol overhead in the process.

Overnet's "horde" system is overrated. The speed at which you can download from a p2p network is hard to predict and in general you cannot enforce any kind of fairness. You can even leech from BitTorrent if your client is aggressive enough.

There are a number of new things coming, - the biggest thing at the moment is firewall-to-firewall transfers via UDP.

PS.. don't come looking to me for 128 bitrate files, you won't find many, maybe that's why I'm always uploading. Limewire and Bearshare users really love those good quality files
Salut KathW! Well all that is great. Thousands of RAZA's users do the same. However, you do not represent the shareaza community typical behavior: the behavior we see overall. It's like recycling paper, alone you can save a tree, but won't help deforestation. If all recycle, the forest will be saved. This is the same thing in Gnutella if you can understand the analogy. It would be better to ensure everyone recycle, no?

PS: I'm not in ecology, but I do think ecology has the best analogies with Gnutella
N.B: stop saying G1!!! You are honoring Anenga saying that! It's gnutella or gnet.

-well sharing the download directory ( complete files) is good for me .

i have now with another protocoll :

62 gigs data traffic ( overhead 920 mb ) have no idear how much overhead gnutella would have with same statistics.

at least with the overhead i get decent speeds and clients with the same speed as i have .

should be firewall on no download only upload , this will people force to use the right settings . ( see what happens on a nother network, it really force people ) .

difficult to tell, my HTTP overhead is usually below 1%, I don't have any protocol overhead because I am not an ultrapeer.

Then that is the right network for you. I don't care much for limiting my sources to one connection speed. Maybe it's because I'm not an elitaristic pig.

That is one of those ideas that you can really shove where the sun doesn't shine. A large number of users does not have a direct connection to the internet and a good number of them cannot do port forwarding because they don't happen to have access to the router/proxy they have to use.

well thank you , just trying to understand the network and if i have 1745 sources , iam wondering why i have an download of 1.5 kb/s thats all .

what i try to say is that if people cannot acces the router , that could happen , but i dont believe that is the majority .

for the sources of compleye files : edonkey and gnutella :

what you see at least for the netherlands is an upgrade for most people there is an "battle" going on betweens the different isp's ( hope you can follow me ) .

This mean that upload and download speed will raise twice . or as for me 10 times higher .

if you use the right settings downloads and uploads will not go sluggish , if everybody could set an 15 kb/s for each netwerk protocol this will have an huge impact on the p2p community .

the last years my upload was also 16kb/s as for most people with cable in the netherlands , because chello is gonna raise the speed other providers will follow and speed on the p2p networks will getting better .

so slugish download when you use 2 protocols i dont believ that , that will dissapear soon , llook at the combined ed/overnet , seems to be an succes .

sometimes i see the potential of gnutella with high speeds , but there are times i cannot understand why my download is 1.5kb/s with 1745 sources , so i try to figure out why this is .

Also new idears are not bad , using idears from othere p2p protocols is not bad either , if this will make gnutella stronger .

i believe you have to look at the strong points of other networks to learn and improve your own network , look at the succesor and do it better .

said the pig .

I will not stop saying G1 *stamps foot* nobody has the right to tell me to do that. Same as I don't tell you what to call G2.. you use whatever terminology you want and so will I
Well I can tell you that but I can't force you. That's the difference I WOULD prefer you not calling it G1... Shareaza users CHOOSE to call their network G2, so it's okay with me. Gnutella devs never CHOOSE to call Gnet G1, another difference.

Bonne soirée Kath!

If you ask me Gnutella has nothing to do with Gnutella2, they are different protocols which share only the name. BUT ITS ONLY A NAME...

My two european cents.

Bad girl! I didn't remember that one... you shouldn't have reminded it to me!

Anyway, Gnet and G2 are two different protocols. A protocol is how a network searches results. Morpheus might be using GnucDNA to download NEOnet results, but NEOnet can still be called another network.

You must be right then, because your two european cents value more than my two canadian cents
