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.

Default sharing bandwith?

ok, i know i am not the only one fighting this, but this is a flaw that needs to be fixed.... it may be something i have inadvertently done by my config but i can not figure it out.... when i am downloading a movie i have found that others start sharing MY bandwith to get their movies, thereby slowing me down or stopping my download altogether.... example... was downloading steven segal-submerged and found that 4 other peoples were downloading from me at the same time. however, they were downloading from a point past what i was downloading to my hard drive.... the screen showsme a 60 % but they were in the 80's and 90's... when i turned them off (killed upload) my download increased by at least 10kbps as they came back onme it slowed down again... i dont want to be a freeloader but this has to end... any ideas??? can any body find me some bandwith to love??

When I'm downloading large files (such as movies) where an extra 5-20 kb/s would mean a ton of less downloading time, I usually go in my options and set my upload slots for 0. I find uploading really screws around with my bandwidth....then, after I've downloaded whatever it is, I'll switch my uploads back up and just leave my computer on for a while to share it around. I find that works best to keep my downlaods fast and my share ratio up (which I still can't find out how to check >.>)

I'm guessing you use DSL as compared to ADSL service then? adsl usually has totally separate download bandwidth compared to uploads so they shouldn't affect each other. Unless your ISP is playing a part there.

Indeed, DSL

And ya...it's reeeally annoying if I forget..I can have a good download and then suddenly everything just messes around when someone connects to me.

only a hobo knows..... issue resolved...... that was getting kinda annoying..... adjusted and changed just about everything trying to stop that.... well one good thing is i have fine tuned myself i think for the better now

and i did check and have 1.5 download speed and 256k upload.... called bellsouth to upgrade to 3 or 6 download but they say the lines here havent been upgraded in my part of the woods yet... thats kinda funny considering i live right on the mainline 8 blocks (baltimore city measure, i'm in alabama) from the main fibre optic lines for the state..... one day when i grow up it might work... lol

thanks for the memories....
