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.

Exclamation I want to stay Gnuttella
I've actually tried gnucleus and I dont like the fact it dont auto resume downloads or selected files I'm getting ready to try a few others like kazza lite and edonkey I'm using bs on gnuttella now it seems pretty good I'll soon try l/w but i feel that I am screwing open source p2p. ive been using gnutella for about two years I've got 200gbs to share all gotten off gnuttella. I feel sad that I might have to leave gnuttella if only gnucleus was more like gnotella or peeranha.
I hope godxblue opensources it he had a great start of a client. I guess I should be more clear as to what im looking for is a client like gnottella.
1.is upto date
2.auto resumes broken links failed downloads(so i can run it 24-7 check on it once a day )
3.remembers all of my settings if it dies (i.e. windows)
4.good search engine (im into videos and sometimes a mp3)
5. i love the new multiple download sources
I guess I'm just complaining that gnucleus isnt upto gnotella yet and I'm impatient is there any knock off gnucleus that might be close to what im looking for?

I've tried gnuecleus as well and don't like how the system keeps pinging my server until it allows it to download. The fact that I see all of these requests, makes me want to limit the number of files I share as well as selecting those IP address on ingnore. I tried Kazza lite, and the selection on there is decent, however the application is slow when switching screens or selecting other items (Java issues?) I also don't like the fact that you can't see what types of MP3 encoding speeds the song's are. The good thing is that it does have auto resume, switchable to other servers of like files if the server you are on suddenly disconnects or fails downloading. Most of the songs on the Kazza lite finds are MP3's at 128K Encoding or less, which I don't find appealing. What I need is a new version of Gnotella or better yet... get rid of all of the gneucleus.
Oh one more feature I did like about Bearshare, gnotella and Kazza lite is the ability to browse the connected server for other files. (I find that really nice to be able to get suggestions from other people's file collections). Kazza has a nice feature built in on that. Gnotella and bearshare go to a web interface.
Bad thing about Kazza is that you don't have multiple searches like gnotella. You could save your last 3 searches with Gnotella. If you search on something different with Kazza lite you lose the information on the previous search.
Does anyone know if Kazza lite is on the Gnutella network, I heard it is on the Limewire, Fastrack network.
Well, I'll still use Gnotella for the time being.

I would like to knwo why in the HELL all clients don't have this feature, without that the client is pretty much atomatically worthless, if you psend a whole bunch of time searching for files, decide which ones you want but you need to reboot or your computer crashes before they finish you are screwed!

The Browse function in BearShare, and LimeWire if I have this correct, is about to go bye bye.
I am sure that someone will come in here and correct this comment if I am wrong, but there are certain definite indications that BearShare will be omitting the 'feature'.
btw, this 'feature' consumes large amounts of bandwidth and it is not advisable to have it 'ON' unless you really do have the bandwidth allocated to support it. It is for sure a no-no for dial-up modem users.

The browse function, as we know it, is going bye bye. This is because Limewire is going to incorporate a new way to browse user's files, and Bearshare is going to follow suit. When this will happen, though, I have no idea, so we'll probably be without it for a while.

We probably won't be putting it back either, since there is a new GDF proposal from LimeWire for browsing the files belonging to a host (one that integrates itself into the search results rather than using Internet Explorer).

The LimeWire technique also works with firewalled hosts (where our web server feature doesn't).

We will still leave the web server feature in there in case anyone wants to serve HTML.
