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 Newbie problem: queryHit not recognized by LimeWire

Hi guy,
I wrote a small program that connects to an ultrapeer and receives a certain query message with queryHit message. I'm testing my thingy vs. gtk-gnutella (works fine, even downloading a file from myself) and vs. LimeWire.
The problem is that LimeWire won't even show the queryHit i've sent in it's GUI (while gtk-gnutella does). I thought maybe it's because i'm not sending a urn, so i did - but still no luck. I'm not sending the other extra (QHD, i think). Than i thought it might be something with the TTL and HOPS - but i tried changing values and still it didn't work.
I am connecting both my LimeWire and my small client to the same ultrapper, thus getting the query i'm sending and sending back queryHit (obviously a wrong one, since it's not displayed in the GUI).
Following are the details, please help me understand what's wrong with me (besides the obvious, of course).

Query (that limewire sent my small client after i hit the search button):
GUID
payload (query)
TTL - 2
Hops - 1
Length - 27
Min Speed - 132
Search - aaa bbb ccc ddd eee

queryHit (that my small client sends back and LimeWire doesn't show as a result but gtk-gnutella does):
GUID (same one as from query)
payload (queryHit)
TTL - 4
Hops - 0 (i guess i'm wrong here or in the TTL but i tried few things)
queryHit
count - 1
port (my prog's port)
ip (my prog's ip)
speed - 260
Hit
index - 963 (rand)
size - size (of a file i'm testing with)
name - aaa bbb ccc ddd eee (exact as in the query)
extra - urn:sha1:"urn i made up"
Servent ID - i made up but i'm consistent

Regards (and thanks in advance),
Snayit

Maybe LimeWire drops "exact" matches by default nowadays. Hops 0 is correct, a TTL of 4 is probably OK but overkill, just use the Hops value of the query + 1 as TTL for the reply.

Default Thanks for the response

I also tried - when i got TTL 2 and Hops 1 to send TTL 3 and Hops 0, but still didn't help. What else could be the problem?

It could be the IP address or the port number. Is that a private IP address or a public one? In doubt, try the standard port number. What I meant with "exact" matches is the filename. It's rather unlikely that a legit reply matches the search term bit-by-bit. Try a random filename instead because might the receiver might consider such replies spam. Maybe LimeWire ignores small files. If possible try to capture a valid reply in the wild and just use that with GUID corrected of course. I could imagine there's something wrong
with your layout at the end of the packet which is ignored by gtk-gnutella but not LimeWire.
Provide a hexdump of packet you send.

The packet looks fine to me. Well, yes if the receiver has the same IP address as given in the packet, that could be a reason for a client to ignore the reply albeit that wouldn't be good behaviour. Maybe LimeWire requires that you send extended query hit data and specify your vendor ID. Again, that's not quite clever but it might help against lazy/stupid spammers. It's probably best if you directly ask some LimeWire developer.

Default I checked several more things, and i have another question:

Can it be a GUID problem? Must i encode my IP and port into the GUID or something? now i also checked my program vs. Phex and it works too, only LimeWire and FrostWire won't accept my queryHit.

Thanks,
Snayit
