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.

40,000 clients are on line at any one time, 2 million users are estimated by zeropaid.
2 million suckers may have downloaded this crap but I doubt there are 2 million actually leaving it on their systems.

It's NOT my system that has a problem-read man, READ!!

instead of blaming (rant), try to be constructive. i guess all the people writing here are using the gnutella network. and i guess it works for most of them. it hasn't necessarily worked for all of them right from the start, but they got it to work. this is a community that will help you on - but stop blaming and tell us more about your configuration (system, program, isp) and we will try to help you on. or, if you really know a better alternative, tell us about. we will give it a try and switch, if it really is better.

so, talk instead of shouting and we will all benefit from it
if this "program" makes a whole lot of individuals computers lock-up, I fail to see how that's "shouting", & there appears to be more problems than this imaginary "smooth sailing" that y'all are trying to sell.

Give me a break!

Question Well I don't know how your system is configured.

Since a week ago I've got an 176 Kbit/s connection on my old Pentium 166MMX 32MB and I've downloaded about 1GByte of programs, images, music and videos. The only problems were that gnucleus has the fix idea of crashing when the seti@thome starts or that limewire collides whit MSIE, after trying it works. Of course the speed is remarcable lower than in an FTP connection or tha things. Considering that there are GNU or free programs I am amazed that they works better than other pay net related software, such as most of the telnet and FTP clients or servers. Are you a lawyer?

If your having a bad experience on gnutella, i recommend using BearShare...

BearShare gives you the ability to sort the search results by QoS, this means you won't get a busy signal...

Kutulus, are you getting paid to brownose ?

Qos means nothing anymore. It just doesn't work. You think it does because of those pretty little colors, but its false and misleading information. The open source clients have gone beyond bearshare now, bearshare is old news and operates more like the original gnutella, trash it and the spyware it rode in on.

You should chose as many servers as you can and start downloading then use resume to get the rest from others. Qos doesn't work across all clients so therefore it doesn't work at all. Some people want to fragment gnutella by using proprietary protocol information to try to get a better market hold, greed is bad for gnutella so I walk away from support for any $$$ involved developers.

Go get Gnucleus, its free, way beyond bearshare or limewire, its remote control encrypted packet free, and the source code is available so that it can be improved easily and quickly. Greed is not involved at all.

The Gnutella network is the best since Internet invention!

Heaps of potential, lots of success already.

Yes, pains here and there, people, computers, ISPs and software are all a rocky road to perfection.

I yet have to find one client with which I am happy with.
But they are all worth a try and each one has features that others don't have and visa versa.

Best clients right now (my opinion):

Ordered by name only (not priority):

- Bearshare (use V2.23!)
(phones home encrypted, very stable,
Search window very basic. Do NOT INSTALL ONFLOW or SAVENOW! - or remove it if mistakenly installed).

- Gnucleus V1.32
Very promising. Crashes sometimes (if search results are
very large)
Good download resume.

- Gnotella V0.99.
Phones home on connect.
Very good information display of hosts and connections.
Resumes ok.

- LimeWire V1.4
Very stable. Java based, so a bit slow.

- PHEX (use V0.46!)
Stable. Java based. Amazing features.
Bit slow on connect.
Searches automatically for more hosts to get your file,
should the one you are just downloading go 'off air'.
V0.50 out now does not work good for me.

These are the 'big guys' clients. There are others, still growing up, but worth trying out, to give their developers feedback and a sense of reward for their hard work in spending time to develop it.
See, none of you/us will pay them anything for giving us those Gnutella net clients, or?

Since Napster has gone commercial (forced onto them one could say), the Gnutella protocall has exploded and is a great source of getting and sharing programs, text files, music, pictures or whatever.
Even just to stay in touch.
And you can make your own Gnutella Net, connecting only to your friends, use it for work or whatever.

Heaps of potential. Only some egomaniac public servants and commercial greeds would try to put it down.

hate to say it but i agree somewhat
gnutella needs some serious revising if it will surpass things like winmx and musiccity/kazaa.

i can only get maybe 1/10 downloads to complete where as on the others i mentioned around 9/10 times. that's not including the ones that say they are available and never start.

gnutella is my last resort for any form of media too

The above user is 100% correct. I have cable and have no problems downloading and sharing stuff. Your ISP sucks, not gnutella. I have often noticed DSL users getting poor transfer rates when they try to d/l from me. Most of the time, they simply time-out. There may be some sort of an intentional connection problem between cable providers and DSL providers - sort of 'protecting their turf'. You should consider a new ISP if file sharing is important to you.

What the hell client are you using? Either you're using like, "Phex v0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1", LimeWire 0.0 alpha, the brand newest version of CrashMaster 2000, or the newest version of the hit Finnish client "ajkgl;qb ajksl;n;bgjdfljaglkgj bakl; akjdfklnjkly", Finnish for "That is a fish." I can better results on LimeWire 1.6 in my dial-up, so who knows what you could get.

chr_rossi
Default Incoming&outgoing

Hallo:

[The reason you cant download everything you want is b/c only 30-40% people who are connected to gnutella are accepting incoming connections]

Not true, as far as I know; incoming/outgoing refers only to the 'establisher' of the direct query connection between two hosts. Once established, the data will flow both ways.]

[... and sharing files.]

That's true, I fear, but it is another thing ;).

[DSL .. dont know how to manager their bandwidth with host connections, TTL, download, and upload counts.]
Not all DSL users :-). But keep in mind that some DSLs are asymmetric and are thus limited in query throughput.

[I have MY TTL set to 10 and my MAX TTL 10.]
Is not this a little bit high? As far as I know most servents will drop packets over 7, but I am not sure with this.

Greetings....

Post There are other problems

--
The thing about chr_rossi saying they're bidirectional is true, but someone's outgoing connection is another person's incoming one, so can you see the problem here. Also, if someone isn't acccepting incoming connections, then a lot of pings aren't going to get to them, which is another problem.
