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.

OK, I understand that. But (always a "but" ) when I find a file and the one who has it is DSL/CABLE and I am DSL what causes the slow speed? This is probably 75% of the time, not just a once in awhile thing. I'm not blaming anyone/body but hope someone can/will give me a hint about what I can do if anything.

Thanks.

I may be confused but I'm not sure.

Well what do you know, d/l speed is superfast today (minimum 35k).

How quickly things change.

I really must learn to be more patient in future

There are good days and there are bad days, I could write now a whole story about how Gnutella is working and so on... but I think you learned your lesson.

What does this mean? How long did you wait? How many sources do you have? Give me some more details and I will try to explain why you are only downloading at 3Kb...

*************************************************
I have had DSL for about 3.5 months and, as I said, the d/l speed is very poor. Seldom do I get above 5kb/s. I am not sure what you mean about the number of sources.

Most of the time I look for files with 4 stars ****. Sometimes I will d/l a file with just two and they seem to be as fast as 4 stars.
And it doesn't seem to matter if the computer that has the file is modem or dsl/cable. or T1 as to the speed.

Just to reiterate I have Bellsouth.net dsl. The computer is a Dell Pentium III with 640megs RAM and a 160Gig h/d that is the #2 drive I use for storing the files. It has about 150gigs free.


Number of sources? I don't know.

Thanks.

I mean how many people offer the files you want to download? If there are only as few or only one "source" you can´t expect fast downloads. Try a popular file to test it.

Normally there are several people that are downling from one source, so you have to divide their upload speed.

These parts have nothing to do with the download speed!

So you are trying it for 3,5 months? And you were never over 5kb? Ask your provider if they are blocking the port 6346, this is the standard port Limewire is using. If they do you have to change your port. I had a similar problem with mine provider!
