If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

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.

Do you know the people in this thread here? I know some of them... I know what they are doing!!!

Do you really think you help Gnutella by SUPPURTING ONE client? No you can only support Gnutella if you try to talk with the developers! I know you posted in the GDF... but do you really think anybody cares what you wrote there? If you want that the developers hear talk with them in private!!!

Yes we have all different ways how we help Gnutella!!! But you started that WE only are claiming and DO NOTHING (in an other thread!)... I know many of this people here spent many time for Gnutella - I mean Gnutella we try to improve the network and not just ONE client... everybody has his favourite client BUT WE HELP THEM ALL!!! Yes I also helped bearshare until Vinnie started to attack me... today I don´t want to support any of the commercial clients, or I want that they pay me for it! I decide WHAT I DO with my private time!!!

Nobody said that you shouldn´t contribute your ideas... but STOP promoting bearshare!!! This is the GENERAL GNUTELLA DISCUSSION forum not the bearshare forums, so if you think you have to promote bearsahre go to the bearshare forums... if you want to discuss about the NETWORK than STAY on topic please!!!

We discuss here about improving the network and not adding some features to a client...

Qtella has a windows version... but it is only an alpha... you should ask Etzi when he is going to release it!

Gnucleus is Ok, sure a try worth!

But I wait now for Xolox or stay with eDonkey!

Default get over it

Morgwen, you have NO idea what conversations I have in PRIVATE with developers do you. I talk with many of them as I see the need to improve the entire network, not simply attack one client. If only you could see what you are actaully saying. If I say anything positive about BS its just pr and all I care about is BS. Of course you can turn around and talk about how xolox is the best thing since sliced bread but you of course remain completely impartail (except of course for your extreme hatred of BS).

Then please stop using the forums to simply attack BS. I do not promote bearshare. have only offered the other side of the argument when all of the ant-BS setiment begins to fly.

Its a free forum here the user can post what they want! And there is a reason why some of them attack bearshare, clustering, spyware, Vinnie etc.! And why the users cannot say their opinion about bearsahre, is only Vinnie allowed to trash clients like Xolox???

About your discussions with client developers, so you are a big guy are you? Do you really think the developers talk only with you? You said the most people complain here - hey do you really think you are the only one who tries to change something?

Yes you love bearsahare others not, yes I am biased against bearshare but others are not - funny that they post almost the same!!! So lets quit our off topic disussion here or start an other thread in the bearshare forums!

gnutellafan> First it is Vinnies board, so he is free to do with it as he sees fit.

That sums it up pretty good.
This isn't Vinnie's forum, it isn't under his control, no one client is represented here so it's the only FREE and OPEN place you can post about gnutella.
No reason to go anywhere else!

BTW: I love how these threads all get moved to "general guntella".

gnutellafan> as far as I know no one else in this thread has a client or has contributed significant code to a client, so if you ask me to stop contributing my IDEAS (and I wont) I would ask you to do the same.

I did. And I did stop already. So stop contributing to BearShare or LimeWire in any way until they get off Gnutella. And block, block, block them to hell. And if you think it took a Jr. programmer to make the blocking code, go look at all the GUI code I had to do. I think the other programmers would love to do this too, but it's a bit too politically "hot" for them to do it, so I have to do it for them.

You are all losing out on cool features because some developers won't write one more line of code to improve gnutella till the greed leaves. I hope more developers follow. I won't give Vinnie any more support or $$$.
Who wants to contribute a lot of time and effort when someone else profits financially? Go to hell Vinnie, I am not your free little worker bee and gnutella is not your kingdom or profit center.
You have to understand that a lot of the improvements to open source clients are provided by "outside" people who privately e-mail code to the "main" developers. Many don't want credit given, but like to contribute.
Vinnie & co. are going to screw that up for all of you.
However, I will use all my skills in ways that help allow people to remove them and the greed from gnutella. They won't leave unless they are forced to leave, this is the problem with greed on gnutella and it will get worse if we don't stop it now. You can see how much it takes to just get them to pay any attention to ths issue. They don't care what they do to gnutella as long as the $$ flow in. Greed sucks.

gnutellafan> "no spyware/adware". Hey, you have choices as to what client you use

Where have you been? When you choose to use BearShare you force me to contribute to Vinnies new car purchases because you are not just using other BearShare clients to pass your packets and supply you with files. His ads are now supported by my CPU cycles and network resources.
I didn't choose to contribute to BearShare!
You also pass spy packets through my machine, and who knows what else. I don't support spyware.
I now have a way to block the spyware and greed and it's at http://opensourcep2p.sourceforge.net/

gnutellafan> "Partial file sharing": Vinnie does not believe in the virtue of this feature. I have pushed it hard at the BS forums.

Way ahead of you, there are a lot of things that users would benefit from but Vinnie and LimeWire won't add them because it might somehow affect their advertisers. Think hard about how your ideas will affect their ads and you will figure it out. Greed is not always logical, is mostly a twisted way of thinking, and almost always ends up in some sort of control over YOU, the user (or do they think you are the "loser"?) or your resources.

So I strongly suggest for the sake of gnutella, which you support, that you stop using a greedy client and switch today. Gnucleus has all the features of BearShare and more, with no spam or spyware, and my version will allow you to clean up gnutella.

Cool hacker's note:

BearShare is awful, and I think that Vinnie guy should either play by the Gnutella rules or design his own network.
