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.

Lightbulb What I would like in Phex

It's been a long time since I started to use Phex, and since then I also tried other Gnutella clients, but sooner or later went back to Phex.

I want to make some suggestions to what things need to be improved (from my point of view). I understand that the programmers are already doing a great effort and also a great job .

Right now what makes Phex the best Gnutella client for me is that it is able to get the files that you want in a highly unattended mode. But newer clients are also improving the time that you need to get that files (swarm downloads). And this is an option that day after day more users are demanding. However from my point of view I think that there is something that should be done before: improving efficiency.

It seems to me that the most CPU demanding process in Phex is matching queries with the shared files. This process takes a lot of CPU time, and leaves the rest of the program with little resources. If you share many files (more than 200, which isn't many) it will use so much resources that will make the use of Phex very difficult (GUI start to respond very slowly). If this can be fixed, then Phex could safely implement other gadgets like swarm downloads. IMHO.

I will try to take a look at the code to see if I can help with this. I don't have much experience with Java, but I've done some toys with MS VJ++. I also have a good knowledge of programming, data structures, algorithms... I'll see what can I do (that is if I can do something! ). Any suggestion on what sould I look at, or whatever will be welcome.

Cheers

Thumbs up yeah I agree

I agree ... Phex is a good client (and I've tried numerous ones myself). And yeah, it needs some work on the code. Being a cross-platform program written in Java, it would really skyrocket in popularity if it had more features and optimized code. I personally need something automated, retrying searches and downloading search matches on its own without my intervention. Phex comes closest to this compared to other apps. The "candidates" feature is really good, but still leaves more to be desired.

I'm learning Java in the meantime just so I can customize my own copy of Phex, perhaps releasing a whole new app.

Why don't you guys just contriubte your code to Phex. We are open for any new developer or pieces of working code.
