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.

Default Phex 2.1.4.80 Beta

A new beta-release of Phex:

2.1.4 Beta (2004-09-29)

Changes:

- GUI: Generate a temporary 'preview' copy of the first segment on demand,
and display it (if a display program is configured). Will also work
on completed downloads.
- GUI: The number of download candidates for a file is displayed on the folder
icon.

- CORE: Default list of recognised streamable/unstreamable suffixes
extended, and matching is now case-insensitive.
- CORE: Added Undocumented.htm to documentation for tips on advanced use.
- CORE: phex.cfg is sorted.
- CORE: Experimental: headless operation with -Djava.awt.headless=true

- FIXED: Configuration values which are lists are correctly stored.
- FIXED: Invoking help/bitzi on unix now looks for firefox, not netscape.
- FIXED: Candidates stop correctly upon completion of download.
- FIXED: File uploads do not abort prematurely.
- FIXED: File upload statistics stay correct after the initial segment.

Download it here:

To use the preview function please read the Undocumented.htm in the phex distribution \docs\readme directory.

I think you used opera if I remember one of your previous posts correctly. I think Phex tries to start firefox currently though...

Exclamation Hangups and over-downloads

#1: I know it's a beta... just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.

I frequently experience two problems when downloading:

- Files "overdownload". That is, they reach their full size, and then keep downloading.
- Phex hangs and has to be killed with task manager and restarted.

The second could be anything, but the first is really strange to me. The only way to get the file if this happens is to remove the download and re-download it (or hope the copy in my incomplete folder actually is complete).

The first I also saw sometimes, but not since I use the CVS-code...

Thumbs up Hangups and over-downloads confirmed

Hello All!

Just started using Phex, found it to be very nice, but also quite quickly experienced the same problems as eagle79 (over-downloads and freezes).

I compiled the CVS version as of today (13 Feb 2005), 2.1.5.80. If it matters, I'm running W2000 SP4 with JRE 1.5. (I did the compilation on a Linux box with 1.4.2, though.)

I can't (yet) say if the problems are gone, but at least another very annoying problem appeared: When defining the shared "Library", Phex always checks my floppy drive A:. Even when just selecting another directory to view on the hard drives it checks A:...

I'm quite sure only sick people share their A:, so it could very well be removed from the list altogether :-)

Have a nice day,
Mikael J.

Hello mpjohans,

I hope your download problems should be away with the CVS version. There should be a fix.

Can you tell me how your check of drive A: appears to you? Do you get a system message to put a disk into drive a: or hear the sound of the drive trying to find a disk?

Sounds like a strange problem I use JRE 1.5 with W2K SP4 too and dont see anything like this...

Gregor

Hello Gregor!

The D/L problem at least hasn't come up anymore.

About A: There's no message, the drive is just checked for content every time I expand / collapse a new directory from the tree. It is actually enough to have the "Library" tab selected, switch to another application than Phex and back again for it to happen. Extremely annoying! Perhaps something weird in some refresh routine (in Windows / Phlex / wherever)?

Another small oddity; at least the download bandwidth reported in the "Statistics" tab, both "Value" and "Avg.", is now about 2-4 times too high, when the bandwidth is set to "Unlimited" in "Options". If set to a finite value (still higher than the real, used bandwidth), the values get more realistic. (worked OK in 2.1.4.80).

By the way, the vertical column separator lines are a nice addition!

MJ
