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.

Unhappy Hostcaches

Recently all five of the default hostcaches I use with Qtella (connect(1-4).gnutellanet.com:6346, gnutella.hostscache.com:6346) seem to have stopped working or something. Does anyone have any reason why? I looked this up in the client-specific forums, and the suggestion was to use the connect(1-4).gnutellanet.com:6346 caches, but they don't work either apparently. Does anyone know what happened to them all? Is it just a problem on my side or are they in fact all screwy? Fortunately I am a member of the Gnutella Developers Forum and there there is a big list of other hostcaches, but I still want to know what happened to these. What I will probably do in the meantime is go to gnufrog.com and enter addresses manually, but that clearly is sucky compared to automatic hostcaches.

I've been using all of the host caches you mentioned and router.limwire.com:6346 as well. All of them have been effective in establishing a connection. Strangely enough, I've also discovered that connect.newtella.net is still functioning. I would have though that it been abandoned since the associated client Newtella is no longer actively being updated.
Have you considered that the problem might lie with your ISP, or more likely those damn firewalls that so many people feel are necessasry. I shut mine off whenever I use the Gnet; I'm just fearless or stupid I suppose.

Well, I suppose it could be with my ISP, but since a lot of people were reporting the same problem I concluded that the problem was probably more general. Although if the problem is in fact with my ISP I will cancel my subscription on the dot. I don't have any firewalls going, so it can't be that. What I did was go to the Gnutella Developers Forum and copy and paste every single known hostcache into the program, and some of the other ones indeed work. Even if the problem does lie with my ISP then they must only be messing with a few servers. How could I find out, send them an email and ask them 'are you blocking any Gnutella hostcaches'? Well, I guess I'll continue connecting as best I can in the meantime.

Youre ISP could conceivably block port 6346, the predominant port used by the Gnutella network, but no ISP could selectively block particular programs on an individual computer. Most likely, all of the clients will work given enough time for them to connect and establish a stable environment. Be patience, some of these clients and hostcaches require more time than others.

Well, I know the ISP didn't just go and block that port because it is still possible to connect to other servents and even other hostcaches using port 6346, it's just those hostcaches that I mentioned that don't want to work. In fact, gnutella.hostscache.com:6346 use to work almost immediately. Now none of those that I mentioned work at all. You can tell the thing to connect, leave, and come back in a while, but there will still be no connection. Tonight I have gotten connect3.gnutellanet.com:6346 to work, so in light of all this the problem has to lie with the hostcaches.

It was enlightening to see your post. I have not been able to connect to gnotella using those hosts, as well. Unfortunately, I am not a member of any forum and I don't know how to connect back in. I would appreciate any information you can share so I can get back in.

Thanks

Yeah, you don't need to be a Gnutella developer to join. I'm not yet (soon though) and I'm in it. But here is the entire list of hostcaches that I have my program use when I tell it to connect:

connect1.gnutellanet.com:6346
connect2.gnutellanet.com:6346
connect3.gnutellanet.com:6346
connect4.gnutellanet.com:6346
gnutella.hostscache.com:6346
router.limewire.com:6346
connect.cultiv8r.com:6346
xcache.cultiv8r.com:6346
connect3.bearshare.net:6346
gnet2.ath.cx:6346
204.83.201.2:6346
209.190.205.236:6346

You'll probably get something there to connect, it always works for me. There are other hostcaches out there, but I don't have a list of them.

That's good to know, I'd never seen that anywhere. I just assumed they were four hostcaches run by the same people, whoever the people are (or would be).
