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.

You can download it here:

This Phex release contains many bug fixes and other minor improvements of the user interface, download engine, and research engine. They make Phex much more stable and efficient.

Hi.

I have a few things to say about running this release on my machine.

1. The unreadable % column is no longer the problem, even if the solution doesn't seem to be right for all the fonts. When I choose 'Dialog' font I see different row heights for download/upload then normaly expected and displayed in all other fields (see attached picture for comparison of upload and shared files). I have checked some fonts and this also happens for Helvetica, Courier, Times and a few others.

2. Now, after three days of running 0.6.3 there seems to be some problem with uploads. When I start phex everything works just fine for a few minutes. People download the filels from me. But then every new upload (well about 99.99%) stalls after a few seconds with no more than 12800 B transfered and mostly also gets interrupted with 'Error Broken pipe'.
And this is what phex writes to stderr from time to time:

java.io.IOException: Broken pipe
at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite(Native Method)
at java.net.SocketOutputStream.write(SocketOutputStre am.java:83)
at phex.share.ShareManager.sendString(ShareManager.ja va:619)
at phex.share.ShareManager.upload(ShareManager.java:3 18)
at phex.share.ShareManager.httpRequestHandler(ShareMa nager.java:273)
at phex.ReadWorker.handleIncomingConnection(ReadWorke r.java:189)
at phex.ReadWorker.run(ReadWorker.java:143)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484)

It also happens that phex freezes and I have to kill it. It has never happend to me before.

Download works fine.

I run phex on Linux Debian 3.0 with j2re 1.3.1.

Javier

Exclamation Hard times For my Phex World !

The newest news is - my administration must have found a way to block incoming connect requests !

So now I can only connect to Outgoing Hosts !
and
If you remember I mentioned that the default port on my net has been blocked to the outside
Then considering the percentage that is still using the default port

I have the hardest time to maintain connections !

I NEEED AN OPTION TO EXCLUDE CERTAIN HOST PORTS TO BE COLLECTED IN THE CATCHER !!!

my computer is wasting time trying to connect to hosts on default ports

there is no need to block possible transfers from hosts with files that use dafault ports because they be crossing over to my nonstandart open port ... and at least can push transfer if necessary !

I'd really like to know how this was implemented to block incoming Phex connect requests... Those were the ones that before sustained my connection because I would have to only hook up to one nonstandard Outgoing from www.gnufrog.com and then see the incoming nonstandart ports by themselves ...

NOW THAT I CAN'T GET INCOMING THE CATCHER FILTER HAS BECOME URGENT PLEASE !

Thanks

Same here!!!

What do you think about using a random open port the first time you open the program (but not everytime, just the first one)? That way there would be a lot more hosts out there to connect to that are on non standard ports, and make gnutella a LOT harder to block out.

All versions of Phex use a random port on first startup.

A port filter is available in the next release.

Default Already possible?

iirc you can do that already by going into invalid hosts (in settings) and insert one as
*:[port number]
or am I wrong?

I dont think it will work... the current IP filter will cut of the port after the :. You might filter all IPs with this line.

The next release which is comming soon contains the required port filter.

Arrow Gnufrog Plastered

Now that Gnufrog doesn't list active clients anymore (they changed to be some kind of Netmeeting Hub) I got the problem of finding fresh first connect hosts ...

If my Hostcatcher was worth anything that would be less of a problem

Also it would be nice if there was a more convenient way to copy and paste hosts (from the connected to or download hosts) to the auto connect host list ....

-+= Desperately waiting for the Host Filter Release ! =+-

thanks !

RaaF is a great assister to others; your light through the dark tunnel

This is from the FAQ, Connection Problems :

3 You can download a large phex.hosts file from the Phex developers site at Sourceforge
Just place this file into your phex directory where your phex.cfg is located and also raise the value mNetMaxHostToCatch in your phex.cfg file to 3000 or higher.

At gnutella uk they also have a hosts file, they call it a gnutella.net file.
You can copy the adresses from that file and replace the adresses in your phex.hosts file (use a tekst editor like notepad to open your phex.hosts file)
