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 Poll: Kazaa V. Gnutella

Despite major advances in the performance and user friendliness of Gnutella applications, Kazaa still attracts more users than Gnutella. I'd be interested to hear what forum think about this. Feel free to post ideas not included in the poll.

It's not readily available for macs, otherwise I'd be curious to try it.

Is gnutella losing more users than any other p2p scheme?

Default limit search options?

Maybe I should start a new post, but it's kind of a comparision to kazaa question:
I just made the switch and loaded up limewire on my new powerbook. I was very familiar with kazaa.

I'm trying to search for an artist and limit it to bitrate of say 192. This doesn't seem to work and instead I get results of the artist AND audio with a 192 bitrate!
This can't be right! With Kazaa you can limit your results to other options, like quality and album, etc. You can even say at least 160 or at least 192 or whatever.

Am I doing something wrong? or is this all Limewire can do? If I put in an artist and a word of the title I get a whole bunch of songs with just the word in the title, not limited to the artist only.

Does limewire have this capability? If it doesn't, kazaa is waaaaaayyyy better!

Any info would be appreciated! Also any solution to using kazaa on osx?

-Mike

I think it's all of them. The name and popularity ar fundamental. #1 at download.com. Almost 4 million simultaneous users (which means more sources, but not necessarily content).

Bad (and unjustified) popularity of Gnutella.

However....

Limewire is strong within Mac users. Morpheus still has some reputation. The other clients have been improved a lot. With a little amount of good press, Gnutella could grow again.

LW is only supposed to return AND searches, and you can use the audio type search to narrow searches even more. However, there are some old servents (morpheus is one, I think) or hacks who will return OR searches. Too, there are some clients who reflect search terms and the files turn out to be spam. Control-clicking those results brings up the option to block those hosts--they are very irritating.

Cool kazaa vs gnutella

gnuc has allowed cleaner dls for me i.e. no viral content. my counterpart used kazaa and all kind of problems developed. spy, viral, some kind of hkey weirdness developed and i spent the better part of a saturday morning tracking and clearing things down and out. i for one have the patience to stick with gnuc.

Post Regarding FastTrack

As a content distributor I have to mirror the comments made by peerless. More users = more complete downloads / faster downloads therefore a better p2p experience for p2p users.

This goes a long way for creating a positive experience for a P2P user. I personally have nodes ready to go on fast-track but I have a couple problems with the network in general.

#1 With 6 hosts connected to the fast track network all sharing the same content I could not easily find results from ths content that I know is out there if I go to a 7th station and search.

After along time I am able to return 1 or 2 results browse the node and then I get a complete content listing. I guess I just dont' understand a lot about their search mechanism.

Gnutella on the other hand (Limewire, Gnu etc.) I can execute a search and get a complete content index from 3-5 of six server consistently. I think that LimeWire has the best user interface of all the P2P clients.


#2 As I've said before I put out about 9GB of data on LimeWire daily that is my entire content library about 4 times over. On fast track although there are many more users I'm not sure they're actively participating in the network. Buy that I mean I think that that a large majority of the hosts sitting on that network are spammers and monitoring agents for the RIAA and MPAA and others. There's no good information about the SuperNodes you are connected to.

In my opinion I think that they attract more users due to press coverage.

Default kazaa ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yes kazaa gets faster downloads due to amount of users.
emule gets even more files but slower downloads.
my main problem with kazaa is TOO TOO MUCH AD WARE.
GOT SO MUCH FROM THEM HAD TO RE FORMAT HDD.
LIME DESCENT DOWNLOAD RATE DEPENDING ON WHO ANDHOW MANY YOU ARE DOWNLOADING FROM.

WHAT DOES MAKE ME ANGRY IS SOME USERS SET THIER UPLOAD TO 0 kbs.
I got a file that is 98% but 1 user every time I get connected to him/her I get 0 kbs and put back on waiting list. at the back of course.
lime needs somekind of boot off for people like this.

remember this is p2p SHARE.

jfisk, remember you can limit uploads by people who are "freeloading."

However, that may only checked shared files, not the upload pipe. That's an annoying problem.
