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.

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. |

 You are right, it is more difficult to get a file from a firewalled client. I see no danger in opening port 6346 to incoming connections if you have a good well tested client or are running Linux. Windows users are paranoid because their stupid Outlook program allows you to run programs by just sending it to someone. How stupid is that? They have no clue so they think viruses are coming from everywhere, even a open port! SHUT IT ALL DOWN!! I have no clue where it is coming from so shut it all off!! As a test I put up 2000 jpg files (very nasty girly pictures everyone wants) and I got about 50 DL per hour on a modem connection. When I firewalled it I only got about 5 or so per hour. I let this run for some time to make sure I wasn't crazy. I could get all the files I wanted from others though! The problem is that your push packet has to be routed to the host you are trying to contact, and he could have disconnected from the network node he was on when he sent back the query hit to you (file names). Also with MorphedGnucleus 100,000 new users on the network it's hard to reach the "other side". Plus on top of that most nodes are way busy because these morph people were trained to leach every file they can and not share back. Why should they? There were set up central servers with everything on them, paid for by advertising dollars and a CEO with a new car. You don't know if your push request made it or just got lost. Plus, you may have dropped the node connection that routed you the packet. So it's hit or miss at best. So yes, firewalls are for whimps who run windows and have no clue how to set their port 6346 open. Since billy gates won't spend the time to fix his crap he has put out since the 80's, we all have to suffer. To Billy Gates: you have enough money now, show us you are a real programmer and fix this crap you idiot! Here's this Linus guy that isn't a billonaire and his OS isn't a big security hole! Why do people buy sh t from a shi y company when they could have a great OS for free? Stupid, really stupid. Quote:

| It seems to be "in" these days to bag on microsoft. Too bad you don't actually know what is wrong with microsoft products so you resort to petty trolling. As far as firewalls are concerned, yeah some people are paranoid, others just want to control what goes in and out of their computer. A lot of people are also on LANs, sharing a single internet connection between multiple computers. I run a soft firewall and sit behind a router, and I was able to set things up to give me a "direct" connection to gnutella. Unfortunately not everyone is capable of doing this. Either they do not know how or they do not have access to do network administration. The problem isn't with people using firewalls. The problem is the lack of proxy support in gnutella clients (among other things.) This is something that is being worked on around the development community. So in the mean time be patient and quit bitching about people that have decided to share files. You're getting this all for free anyway. |

| It seems that some people don´t know that firewalls are good not bad - they help to save "YOUR" security! I have a firewall too... and I am "ALWAYS" sharing... so I can only repeat: Read some articles about firewalls to understand what they are and what they do - and what can happen if you have no! www.google.com helps!
