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.

Exclamation I see no future for thi 0.7 proposal

To me, I don't think this 0.7 proposal adds anything, apart from breaking the existing 0.6 protocol and building a new one.

Let me take a few examples to illustrate my point:

1. The 3-way handshake works. It is necessary for Ultrapeer negotiation with gentle redirection of an ultrapeer to leaf status. It is necessary for Gnet traffic compression negotiation.

I understand it can be done with a 2x2-way handshake, but you criticize the 3-way as being complex, so a 4-way is even more complex.

As to simply moving to a 2-way because it is simpler to implement, this is a valid point. However, given the need for 4-way exchanges somtimes, you have to handle exceptions anyway. So let's leave the handshaking as a 3-way process.

2. GUID tagging. This mixes a few concepts. You should have a look at my GGEP "Q" extension proposal, which I have posted on the GDF: It clearly separates between atributes that make sense during a query, and those that make sense during a reply.

Moreover, the "Q" extension is far more extensible that the bits in the GUID.

Finally, don't forget that the GUID is not sent in a query.

3. Renaming of Ultrapeers to something else. Well, I call them Ultranodes. I don't need a protocol 0.7 to call them the way I want. Everyone understand that Ultranodes and Ultrapeers are the same thing.

However, not everything you propose is to throw away. It's just that the premisses of your proposal are wrong, and you target your efforts on things that are superfical inconveniences (but would be a pain to backout) instead of moving forward and constructing.

Live and let learn!

Thx master. Here the goals from my old suggestion:
- full HTTP alike connections, to achieve an easy parser
- straight and simple connection sheme, easy and fast
- very flexible desgin for later needs, avoiding a 0.8 in near future *g*
- don't hurt old v0.4 servants, let them still be operable

I won't argue anymore which handshake is more complex and why I don't like the name ultrapeers or the concept behind it. AFAIK the GDF still has no proposal for LAN auto configuration, UDP autofind or internationalisation/UNICODE, is the chat protocol documented meanwhile? v0.7 ideas are about half year old, meanwhile I prefer GNUXP's concept (ask GodXblue for details).
In the past I made suggestions and spend time to improve things and bringing new ideas from different file sharing systems, just take what you like. I found out other developers are not really interested in my experience or support (the friendly way of saying : I know I'm not welcome here). I would have appreciated if Gnutella would be more honest and more cooperative.

Happy developing.

BearShare uses all three handshakes to implement two way challenge/response authentication for host connections.

Why did you call it "General Gnutella Development Discussion" when there is actually no development??

You complained that it took over 1 year for v0.6 to be spread out on the net? Why do you think the client-developers inmplemented the ability of online-updates in their programs?
Even if a user isn't interested in the new version, he would probably click on "yes, update" just to get rid of the annoying message that a new version is available .
And if you make banners telling about a new protocol version "new, faster protocol v0.7 supported" it would work fine. (faster sounds good for all the average AOL-users , and its a little bit faster anyway )

just my opinion.... nils.lw

The real development of Gnutella is being discussed in the GDF, not here.
This place here is for people who have problems with developing their client and need to ask questions.
