Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

suckitt is flying high
Default slow speed (12kb)

I have frostwire 4.13.1 using windows 2000, usi wireless modem(ruckus wireless modem) comodo firewall

I am using (usi wireless) to connect my desktop which uses a Ruckus wireless modem model #mm2211 (I think) I did for a time were recieving 50-100 kbs per download. as of this week, this has changed dramaticaly down to 12kbs. after recently changing my upload speed settings in options, (something that was suggested) it has went up to 20kbs 10kb per download (2) 8 hosts each

When getting results from speakeasy speed test, I recieve about 9000-10000 kbps on download speed, again, when downloading lately from frostwire I am only getting around 20kbs alltogether. Are there any fixes or configurations that will help. here is something that is in the providers statement. ( keep in mind I was getting great speeds with this same provider.)

No client to client traffic is allowed within the wireless network. This ensures that all traffic must past through proper firewalls and routers to gain access to any resource throughout the network. Each specific use network will also be VLANed to ensure complete separation of traffic.

I do not have any information on US INTERNET CORP.

Yes, uploads can help dramatically with downloading.

Remember you can only download as fast as the person(s) at the other end can spare. This can vary from day to day. You might also be downloading from a partial file sharer; a person who does not themselves have the complete file but shares as much of it from their incomplete folder. This helps increase overall download speeds when Partial File Sharing is enabled.

I always re-search a topic & then 'Get More Results' function to in the hope to find more sources to download from. Uploading similar material often seems to help 'finding' more sources when you are searching.

It's difficult to say. We previously sent people to Bitzi to download their non copyright files section from their site which would check whether their isp was interfering with their speeds. However Bitzi's magnet links appear to have been part broken for some time.

Let me send you a magnet link, see if you are able to connect to it & get beyond 20 KB/s. My upload capacity is 90-100 KB/s but I tend to get busy uploads so I'll see how we go.

Wireless does have some issues. Especially for some set ups. The bandwidth will not remain constant (fluctuate), and if too many queries passing through may affect the connection altogether.

Is there the chance to re-connect using hard wired (cable directly between computer & modem/router), and see if that makes a difference?

I am currently using an ethernet chord between the wireless modem and the computer, I do not think there is any other option with this modem. I will however take a look.

Ethernet cable is what I meant ... sounds like the problem is not the wireless sending of data then.

If you mean f/w support, I have already posted there and had one response: no client to client is allowed with my wireless modem and to try Portforward.I was under the impression this was for routers. I have a modem( so I thought) I also checked this forum and only saw limewire support. Is this were I should post? I wouldnt want to post in the wrong area.
