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.

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.

Sorry about the triple post. My browser reported it couldn't connect, so I continued editing and went via preview.

Ich versteht das Englisch ist nicht deine mutter Zung, ich der gleiche Problem werde haben ob es Deutsch war..

Perhaps that is why you so often miss what I am saying. Much as you accused the other poster of asking for serials when he said series.

Most of what you said asserted something that I was already doing, had tried or did not apply. The mere fact of saying something does not make it true or relevent and has been why we have gone round and round in circles.

I am no expert in Gnutella or any of the p2p protocols. I am a user who has tried every form of p2p, over the last 5 or so years, that runs on my platform. I tend to beat them to death for all they are worth. They are just tools to achieve my ends and that is how I look at them.

If they don't measure up I do not hesitate to say so. They all have their faults and their pluses.

Are these forums just fan clubs for particular software?

We do take this HOBBY seriously, you know !
This is what the use of the word Serial was all about.

'Serial Troll' as a play on the words 'Serial Killer'...
'Serial' > meaning > 'repetitive'.
Nothing serious.

Now, back to the topic !

Getting back onto the original post.

I have just searched for João Gilberto in both LW & P.

Results:

Hits:
LW - approx 120 (is there anywhere it reports this?) many with multiple hosts, one has 20
P - 324 relatively few multiple hosts, max of 4

DL speeds:
LW - up to 6kB/s settling to max 3kB/s most less than 1kB/s or 0
P - up to 17.6kB/s settling to 6kB/s

DLs
LW - best so far still only has 85%
P - has finished 3 and working on others

Where do I do this. I looked and could see no option.

k, last time I post to that repetitive thread....
I searched for that artist got 179 results (LW ultrapeers stop sending searches when you get 160 results with 4 leafs connections).
Downloads are normal:
*Edited: It's gone now!*
Of course I've deleted the unfinished downloads after the screenshot. (and this screenshot will be gone tomorrow).

Thanks et voià

This confirms 2 things;

You have a MUCH greater bandwidth than I do, and...

There is something different in our s'ware/settings/networks

btw Ursula what do u read into et voià's multiple posting? In my non expert opinion the problem could perhaps be at the server end.

But then I don't just want to jump in and blame someone.
