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. Donīt 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.

Do you know what is funny? You said that your "SUPER" client is also connecting to Gnutella... perhaps you donīt know how Gnutella works BUT if you are using two Gnutella clients at the same time the speed can of course be MUCH different and this says nothing about the "client" speed. Gnutella is a P2P client this means you are only able to reach a small part of the Gnutella net, so you can use two clients at the same time but are connected to different parts of the net... no need to mention that one part of the net can be faster than the other!

You should investigate how a net works before you claim what is better or not.

Read what you wrote... now think... read it again and think again...

Do you have a solution? No? I will give you the anwser... Limewire scans ONLY Gnutella... of course you can compare other clients with Limewire or other REAL GNUTELLA clients - you are talking about FOUR networks!!!

LOL, - VDSL is more efficient because it allows connection speeds up to 52Mb/s compared to ADSL's 10Mb/s. Your connection is limited to 256Kb/s and you still get off on having VDSL. It's just sad, man.

I think it's fair to compare LimeWire to GiFT. Depending on what you are looking for GiFT may have an advantage over LimeWire due to the fact that it connects to Fasttrack and OpenFT which have a slightly different content from Gnutella. On the other hand GiFT is neither a very good Fasttrack client nor a great Gnutella client. - A jack of all trades and master of none. And it will never become an option for the mainstream user until it has its own Gnutella ultrapeers.

Default poor wee puss cat

Ursula,
You have disarmed me entirely.
I'm laughing so hard, I can barely quote the words of the immortal Leslie Saroney (aka Old Mother Reilly): "Don't do that to the poor puss cat --- no, no, no, no, no."
For troubled times and interminable disputes, he also memorably advised: "I lift up my finger and I go tweet tweet, shush, shush, now, now, come, come." (Please excuse use of strong language in a public forum.)
However, can you explain, for a card carrying Old Codger, what a Serial Troll might be? I'm not at all sure I'd like to bear such a title.
I have a feeling it means: "Don't post any more, Mrs Moore. Mrs Moore, please don't post any more!"
With lyrics like this, you can perhaps see why I find it hard to get a single hit from users with shared tastes --- and why the DL speed of such rare hits is important to me.
cosborn
PS I think every network participant who is sharing a file from early recordings by Jimmy Durante, Carmen Miranda, Cab Calloway, Noel Coward, Ivor Novello, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and so on had better stop using the P2P network if you're worried about copyright on remastered material. Anything that was released originally on 78rpm seems likely to have been remastered. Go arrest them immediately on a charge of Old Songs. But remember: "A policeman's lot is not a happy one."
I go, I go.

Comparison is always good. But the first posts I read from (not only in this thread here) him he only said that his client is faster and that it also uses Gnutella... now I read it connects to four networks, is it really a surspries that a REAL Gnutella client canīt be faster than four networks?

And he could make ONE thread in the general section and donīt mention it every second post... good that I am not the only mod around.

No, this only means donīt post or ask for serials anymore. We are no warez forum, you are welcome to discuss about "almost" all other things with us.

Forums are a fascinating modern phenomonum. High technology for the deaf.

No matter what you say someone finds a way to ignore everything except what they want to hear or think they hear.

No matter how often you say you are on Mac OSX you are told to check against Virii and background activities interfering. Say you have tried comparable set-ups on the same network and machine and you are not comparing like with like (for the obtuse I have run LW, P, acqlite, acquisition, Carracho, Hotline etc both together and separately over a protracted period of time). Outline what tactics you use to try and improve performance and get lectured both on your "ignorance" then get your own advice back as "tips". No matter how you say don't care as long as you get results and you are cheating because you use a multi network client!

What is it, did you take a blood oath on LimeWire or something?

I am not "getting off" on VDSL, just that it is an unusual cabling system and I have been told it was used because it has small nodes better linked to the server. ADSL is more like a party line. Not that the details are that important. Unless that is cheating too. btw I am not limited to 256k, I have just chosen that, another example of reading into something that isn't there.

For the perenially thick, I am using all the software on the same system (although I have tried it on others as well). Each possible source of difficulty I have answered. I still am waiting on a clear answer as to how to get LW to even remotely function well.

I am impressed by one software, not because of the color of the icon, but because it works very well.

I won't blame you if you think I'm a thicko, but I don't understand this answer.
To me a serial is Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the radio plays that always ended in a cliffhanger to be resolved the following week when the hero broke free "with a single bound". I don't remember making comments about serials. And I've never heard of a "warez", although I like to think I'm on fairly intimate terms with my native tongue.
Sorry.

Ok, I am no native speaker but you are talking about "series" not serials, serials are keys which you need to use copyrighted software. I donīt know what ursula edited, I read the edit note...

If you want an exact answer you should ask per PM!

Perhaps you missed the following which is not from that many hours ago...
So, by popular demand, a rerun just for you !

I assure you that what you say here is most definitely not true.

A post that expresses negative views about a client or Gnutella Network in general will receive no 'special attention' from the moderators here.

Repetitive posting on exactly the same subject, spread through many threads and done within a short period of time will receive 'attention'.

There is no deliberate intention to 'protect' any client in these forums. There is no desire to censor members and guests here other than in regards to 'socially' offensive behaviour and/or encouragement to infringe copyright.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, you have finally gone far enough to merit said 'attention' and our very own beloved 'silver dragon' has moved all of the other thread I have quoted above to a more appropriate forum.
You have caused this action.
