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.

If you download from me: Yes. I only rarely allow freeloaders (same with Acquisition).
For others: I'm not sure how people set up their client. Acquisition warns on second startup, if the User doesn't share, that sharing enhances their download experience.

Zultrax www.zultrax.com

Easily runs all day long without bothering your work on your PC.
Comes totally clean with no adware, spyware or other unwanted extras.

It supports two networks amongst which Gnutella on which it behaves as a fair client. Zultrax does not block off other clients, does not post selfisly a lot of queries and replies fairly to queries of other nodes.

Zultrax sucks. It doesn't support even half of the latest Gnutella specs. Please don't use it.

Since you apperantly took quite some time to check out Zultrax:
Would you be so kind to give a few examples of which specs Zultrax is missing according to you and why exactly that would make Zultrax suck.

You can find these examples on this (somewhat outdated) site.

As for why being unable to use UDP, having no proper ultrapeers, no dynamic querying or having the most ugly GUI someone could possibly imagine sucks: - it simply does.

@Zultrax: This is in the technology-part of the Zultrax-page

Quote:
A privacy protection feature

Your Zultrax checks if the program on the other side is also Zultrax. If not then the intruder will be battled by either cancelling the connection or by sending him invalid information.

It is much more annoying for those who want to steal your privacy to be kept busy processing garbage than to be just disconnected.
Could you please explain that?

Besides:

[/QUOTE]

Zultrax supports two networks, Zepp and Gnutella. This feature is -of course - only available on Zepp. On that protocol Zultrax is the only available client. Zultrax hides which communication is going to which IP and on which IP files are found.

If one manages on some kind of way to connect to ZEPP and discramble the communication one might be possible to make that information visible. That is what we try to prevent.

Based on the characteristics of the communication one node calculates two complex numbers and sends one to the other. The other replies with the second number. If that does not match it is not using the proper algoritm and one is apperently trying to enter the network not using Zultrax.

In that case an intruder is detected. The intruder could be trying to figure out that algorithm without having to decompile zultrax and we make his attempt easy by sending an error message every time he is wrong.

So, we don't. We keep the connection alive and make sure that all information sent to him is garbage. That garbage can be created to answer queries with actuall found files but combined with the wrong IP's. Of course ' search results' being given by this intruder will be just dropped.

As a result the intruder will be given no information helping him in his attempt to hack stuff instead he will have hard time to detect if he is receiving garbage or not.

The used algorithm is dynamically and the garbage not just garbage but made as realistic as possible and in a low percentage of the cases it is not garbage, it is real.

Finally the goal of all this is to increase levels of privacy a little.
