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.

Default I've had enuff... looking for an alternative to Shareaza

AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!!

I've had enuff... I'm looking for an alternative to Shareaza...

All I can say is that after running Shareaza 2.0.0.0 and 2.2.1.0 FLAWLESSLY with XP SP2 and only recently downloading the 2.2.5.0 Beta version...

I was previously REGULARLY getting download speeds in excess of 1 Meg/sec and now to have it reduced to less than 10 freakin' KB a sec with the 2.2.5.0 Beta Version I am not at all amused... ESPECIALLY when you can't just uninstall the 2.2.5.0 Beta and reinstall an earlier version as the Beta version apparently alters the Incomplete downloaded files so that they can not even be recognized by earlier versions of Shareaza...

In short the New Beta Version is a pile of crap and is to be avoided like the plague...

*sighs* nothing I can do about it now except look elsewhere for a DECENT P2P proggy that delivers what it promises and warn ANYONE AND EVERYONE I can to avoid Shareaza in future (a proggy i always used to like and used have links to the download site at both my business and personal sites, my blog and my own Forum - but NO MORE - I'll be removing them TODAY - and replacing them with the reason why I NO LONGER will recommend Shareaza to ANYONE!!!)

I dunno what the Developers of the 2.2.5.0 Beta Version got for their efforts - but I hope it was Life plus 20 Years!!!!

Soooo... *puff* *pant* *puff* ... anyone wanna recommend a WORKING freeware proggy that handles both P2P and torrents... ????

I would prefer spyware and adware free but that is not a pre-requesite as bu using Zone Alarm and Spybot Search and Destroy you can get rid of most of that crap the first time you run an infected proggy...

Soooo... Any suggested alternatives to Shareaza's latest BOTCHED offering????

Anonymous P2P has had it. It's finished. It's not only Shareaza but all the 'proggys' that were designed to share files in the days before professional sabateurs (software corps) moved in on the networks.

We have to borrow some ideas from ebay, from Shareaza and from Skype. We need a members-only-network and we need to be able to rate the members with feedback on files like 99.6% good files. We need end-to-end encryption, like Skype, so that file identities are known only to the parties transferring them. And we need a versatile and pretty user interface... like Shareaza!

I used to absolutely love Shareaza, and I am astounded at how horrible it has become. I loved it because it found way more stuff (videos, I'm talking about) than any other program, but for over a year, the problem was than it just wouldn't download anything. If I was lucky, I would complete 2 or 3 downloads in a week. And even though my router WAS configured correctly, exactly according to their instructions, I would get that damned message say that it wasn't configured correctly. So I trashed Shareaza and tried Limewire. For reasons that are a total mystery to me, Limewire doesn't find anywhere near as much as Shareaza (and if anyone cares to explain why this is to me, I'd appreciate it). So tonight, just for the hell of it, I tried Shareaza again and disscovered that they have a new version--version 4. What a piece of crap! It doesn't have half the features that previous versions did--or if it does, I can't find them--and it will not find any video bigger than 50 MB! What garbage and what a shame that they have self-destructed. As far as I'm concerned, there is NO good program anymore.

The version 4 you saw is a counterfeit and the old website has been stolen by the scammers.
Go to the official website ( Shareaza - Bringing P2P Together ) and see if version 2.3.0.0 is more to your liking.

Wow, thanks Aaron. That's a surprise and the last thing I expected. I'm pretty savvy about scams, but I fell for that one. Now I'm worried about what kind of spyware or virus I've infected my computer with. What *******s. There should be some sort of warning in this forum.
