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 What am i doing wrong... connection issues

Hi. I've tried to connect to the gnutella and other p2p networks using a multitude of clients including ares, limewire, and shareaza but to no avail. The few times that I could connect, and get a list of files, would result in the file 'pending' download whenever i select it (and I am selecting files that have high connection and speed status and a large host count.

I am no IT admin, but I believe that I have setup the firewall on the router that I use correctly for each program.

For example, for shareaza, I configured the program to use port 6346 (the default), and setup my firewall to accept outgoing ports with destination port 6346 for TCP and UDP and incoming ports with source 6346 (i've tried all combination of incoming/outgoing & source/destination) (for TCP and UDP as well). Remarcibly I can connect with shareaza but cant download anything. And if I test my shareaza connection at http://home.no.net/tgrumpy/ct/dex.php
it says TCP: The TCP connection has been refused, the port is closed. and UDP: No answer has been received from your client.

I am at a loss at this point. I have no idea what I should do. If I set up my router wrong or if you have any ideas please tell me.

(I disabled windows firewall btw)

Thanks alot

Default More info

In addition my router's firewall logs are clean concerning blocked transfers. Even though the shareaza site says i am having connection problems, I have no records in my firewall that says 6346 is being blocked

It might be your provider that blocks port 6346.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. But i just wanted to mention that I am experiencing some connection problems myself, at this point. I don't know what it is, but it seems that whenever I am searching for an artist or anything, I return with a full search with 0 contents. I have no clue what is wrong. plz, can anyone help out? i am wondering whether it's a problem with my fire wall. but I never blocked any content from this site. I am using LimeWire. I hope I can get help in this, since i have enjoyed LimeWire for quite a while. It's the fastest downloading system ever, but i need help with this, plz!! Otherwise, i would hate to unistall the program.

Smile Unable to connect

Hi, I am new to this forum. Am experiencing problems getting connected, have tried Blubster and Bearshare. Tried turning off firewall. Am using Comcast cable. All other interenet connections are OK. When I try to download, get a message saying unable to connect to the gnutella network.
Would appreciate some help on this one.

If you're using LimeWire (LW) then post in the LW Connections Problems section & supply the following information.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

And do this test: Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

Also did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)
