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.

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. |

 fw5 is out! guide FROST 5 IS OUT Introduction Welcome to FrostWire 5. As you can see from looking at FrostWire, a lot has been modified to improve the file sharing experience. The previously used Gnutella network has been infiltrated with spam files, which resulted in many of your searches being a total mess and became more difficult to avoid. Now the program has centered itself around torrents, which are increasingly becoming a more popular method for file sharing. This solid feature gets rid of the need to search in a specific category since torrents can contain any file type you may be looking for. Just enter your keywords and go! Secondly, the user interface has been replaced with a smoother look and feel using Substance skinning. While it may take some time to get used to the new FrostWire, it should be an overall much-needed improvement to the obstacles users ran into in older versions. For information on how to use FrostWire 5, click the Guide link on the left-side navigation.

 Since FrostWire is only a halfassed bittorent client now.1. Vuze (multiplatform) Vuze: The most powerful bittorrent app on earth. 2. uTorrent (Multiplatform) http://www.utorrent.com/downloads 3. Transmission (Mac/Linux) Transmission 4. libtorrent/rtorrent (linux) The libTorrent and rTorrent Project 5-999. Other real and not to mention better clients 1000 or worse: Frostwire bittorrent leechclient, which is banned pretty much everywhere except public tracker leechfests, where more torrent die than are uploaded every day. Congratulations on taking the next step towards killing all public BT  Also see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/frostw...5-0-7-out.html <-- LINK Edit: unlike this new frostwire, see this project http://filesharingtalk.com/content/1...ownload-Speeds http://www.tribler.org/trac/wiki Maybe those FrostWire devs could actually learn something as well. BTW you should be ashamed of yourself using "Tech Support Advisor" as a title, when endorsing that crap. Last edited by Sleepless; July 7th, 2011 at 05:02 PM. |

| Thanks Sleepless for your info about private trackers, but I think in long term use of FrostWire as BitTorrent client will even get it banned from the public one as well!I do not see any way Gnutella Forums can give any support for FrostWire version 5 since its not use the Gnutella network!

Download Direct, Flashget & Free Download Manager are downloaders only, they do not share back; unable to seed. (I personally 'kick' every Flashget client I see. Such programs will simply kill / shorten the life of torrents by not sharing back.) Then there's the LimeWire based part-time torrent programs that are set to only share for a certain time period or limited percentage/ratio, whichever criteria it reaches first. The default maximum period is for one day only. That comes very close to being freeloaders when you're talking about large torrent files such as videos. (Imagine this example, largest torrent I recall I have downloaded was around 125 to 140 GB in size. One day of sharing/seeding it back what % do you think LW or FW users would reach? Especially if their upload bandwidth is being used for other networks or purposes also. My guess is many would simply remove the torrent from the list as soon as they finish downloading anyway. I've seen LW & FW users downloading from public torrent sites, but I've never seen them seeding after their torrent finished downloading. And they wonder why the torrent community dislikes them.) |
