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.

The source was open for anyone last I recalled. So if anyone would like to check it out, be my guest.

The only content available directly through the Vuze interface (guessing that's what you mean) is either free license material or material uploaded with the copyright owner's blessings, so even if you have to sign up for it, it is perfectly safe.

Haven't tried it personally, since I get my content elsewhere. Actually I disabled anything Vuze in Vuze. There is a version 4 now, where you can choose to not load anything Vuze at all. I'm just waiting for all the sites where I am a member to allow it before upgrading. It is said to have a smaller memory footprint than all previous versions of Vuze/Azureus.

I have zero tolerance for these crap antivirus package vendors, that make up threats just to keep the customer happy. How happy would most people feel paying for something that does nothing. Not a single (fake) alert all year on their subscription. Seriously one of those major vendor even blocked one of my favorite sites for weeks, calling it a virus threat. If not for massive amounts of complaints it would probably still be in their database, filed under malicious sites.

That's a mighty big assumption there. Since I have configured my client to work with only the basics, perhaps you would like to tell us all just exactly what the hidden data trying to be sent is?

Are you willing to swear on whatever holy book you ascribe to (if you aren't religious I guess your favorite pron mag will suffice) that :

Just exactly wherein lies your proof of your statement?

I suggest you do a little research as to just exactly what the modern Azureus (Vuze) is and how its being run with consideration to legal aspects before you make such pompus statements as "He is blowing smoke out his @ss". I won't bother holding my breath awaiting the proof of your statements as I'm sure I would turn blue and die.
I trust coders of torrent sites way more than any AntiVirus vendor. I can assure you that they have grabbed and analysed every single package sent by the client, before deeming it safe.

This is P2P, where people have to be careful, in case you forgot that.

And no I haven't checked anything myself. And I say again provide proof instead of propaganda.

I don't have to prove a thing here, you have to prove this as this is your claim. Any crap AntiVirus screenshots are not proof. Show us incriminating data in packets you intercept and that is proof.

All this back and forth sounds like one side is a flame. I'll give you three guesses which one

Oh and one last thing Angmar.

Be sure to use some popular easy to find file for your tests, and include all relevant info like IP address sent to, to size of package, exactly what incriminating data, hash values of the file. The works. And of course Vuze version, port numbers and anything else you can think of to let others be able to duplicate the results. Time online, how long the torrent was loaded in your client. How often this phenomena occurs etc. etc.

For years I was asking people if they knew anyone who bought antiviral software that reported an uninfected computer. I never got a "yes" response. After the birth of antiviral software companies, (but prior to the internet), the largest freeware/shareware distributor in the US offered a reward to anyone who would send them a virus on disk. They had no takers.

I met people who insisted that their computers had been infected because their antiviral software told them it was. Some of those people did not have a modem, and loaded only commercial applications; ergo there was no vector (route for infection).

Nowadays the internet provides a vector and there have been a few epidemics. So I was thinking about writing an antifungal program. Because if you've had a viral infection, surely your computer is less resistant to fungus. And of course my software will verify that data fungus was present and has been safely removed.

I wouldn't tell people that software was suspicious just because an antiviral told me so. We've seen too many false positives, leading me to ask for specifics. When it comes to open software, show me the code!

unless you are on a dupe account with Angmar as your other identity, that post was not directed at you. You have already had your question answered over and over even after making a dupe thread asking the exact same question.

Dump Limewire and use a proper bittorrent client like Vuze (Azureus) or uTorrent

Finally yes it will.

If you find the same torrent now and start downloading it, you will see of there are any seeders (People who have the complete torrent).

Also uTorrent should have the option of seeing availability, in case there are no seeders. i.e. if it says 0.94 or 94%, then you know exactly why you are not getting the final 6% of the torrent.

Also if you see there are seeders, but you never connect to them, it probably means that you aren't on a open connection (either through portforwarding or UPnP), and also that they aren't either. Pretty much they only reason why you will never connect to a seeder is if both you and the seeder aren't connectable (open connection) i.e. the tracker can see the seeder, but your client can't contact it.
