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. 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 Can Connect - Mk II MANY thank yous for your cogent comments... Serious... no sarcasm intended... We need a lot more members here stating that those who do 'suffer' from connection probs are actually in the minority. AND....... AND....... It IS that minority which we all (here in Gnutellaforums) hope to help, cajole, guide and otherwise get the boogy going - right, gang ???

WE are ALL servers... and WE are NOT servers... This is peer to peer... meaning, with a VERY technical description, us doing stuff with us. ...er... that's it... It's all us being connected (with some really nifty apps) to, uh, us. "Democarcy" ain't got nuthin' on Gnutella Network. Believe it. If you want a far more specific explanation and description of the 'workings' of Gnutella Network p2p 'realities', pls do some basic ( and also fairly deep and tricky) searching on the same subject both here, within these Gnutellaforums, and via Google... Magic stuff... And, soon to be forgotten (if not already), we owe a HUGE debt to the grand loonies of WinAmp... Check out the TRUE history of the GNUTELLA NETWORK !!! - - - - - - - Or, you perhaps meant that the probs that the minority may be experiencing were due to their Internet Service Providers... maybe that is what you mean re: 'servers' ? Yes, ISPs can be the prob, but normally the probs for most folks out there are related to: Firewalls ISP 'caps' Restrictions on LANs in university and/or 'office' based systems Incorrect Java installations and yes... A compulsion to run... RUN, before even having a fundamental grasp of the 'concept of crawling'... i.e., if you don't know how to Save, Copy, Move, Create Folder(s), Delete and UNDO such actions within the Operating System you are using [ Windows - Linux - Mac] you are trying to 'play the game before you have even learned how to read the rules'... = failure = frustration Right ? So, without the basics... I mean THE BASICS... being learned we get = fuggin' nasty posts here ! Me ? When I test/use a p2p 'client'... I TRY to make probs... So I can learn from them... This is certainly true for the great majority of 'Super Moderators' and Moderators here... For me- I am no great afficianado of LimeWire, but I am a respecter of the folks behind it all... As many times as I have tried to MAKE probs and do as many really stupid things as I could imagine, it.... Well, it always worked. This post too long now... me stop... Again, many thanks for your simple, BUT REALLY valuable comment... Every product, system, function and office has detractors who garner 'publicity'... Those, of the majority, remain silent, normally... We need more supporters, such as yourself, here... btw... Any use, by me, of the general pronoun 'you' in the above is NOT aimed at "you" (i.e. tambay1001... I only intend it as the 'understood 'you'... OK ? Anyway, cheers, 'Chuckles' and many thanks again for you being here.... 'urs the curse' |

I'm announcing... I am announcing ! Listen.... Yesterday... only for about 14 hrs continuous... I did some tests on an ace machine with an ace connect, OK ? I tried with BearShare 5.2.5.3.... and Aaron Walkhouse's secret X-Ingredient absopositoooootly ULTIMATE BearShare Beta version, a basic LW freebie download version and (er) a , um.... well, an LW 4.13 Pro thingie... Gotta say it... I did all I know to do... The BS stuff beat the stuffings out of LW (both) - I am not really that prejudiced... (You other guys shut up !!!!) Search returns were abysmal with LW... Yet, same searches w/BS versions (both) involved a majority of LW responders ! And.... AND To prove that it had zip-all to do with my ISP at the time, I D/Led (legally !) X-Plane, which is in excess of 1 Gig, in 1 hour and 32 mins. At the SAME TIME as my tests ! (Machine was connected to an ADSL so-called 1Mbps down and 320Kbps up with a typical ping rate and the usual minimum, with a strong tailwind- 15% reduction of any of these fantasy marketing figures, OK ?) Look... Me been around the p2p stuff for a while and I do like the LW people and I understand the popularity of the app.... BUT, BUT But, lately there have been HUGE probs for HUGE numbers of users with the latest versions of LW... Obviously this subject, and perhaps this 'outrageous' post here, will result in even more posts re: the current probs- This is not a new situation.... WOW, in the past (years ago) there were things done by both LW and BS that Really pissed-off MANY people !!! Prob is... er... we don't got Vinnie (BS-FreePeers) to kick around anymore... (not entirely true as he and the gang ARE TRACEABLE, heh, heh !) Me shut up now and wait for the deluge... Again, thanks for your stuff here !
