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.

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. |

 observations from 1st time user I'm here preparing for a life w/o Napster. Over the last few hours I've read docs and opinions on websites, forums and newsgroups about Gnutella. I decided to try gnotella, limewire and bearshare in that order. So far I've installed and used only gnotella. Here's what I think: "It's not Napster but it's useable." + Ok GUI, It's "skinnable" too. + Title searches are fast + I like the "Spy" and "Monitor on" feature that shows what others are searching: you guys are SICK!  - I'm not sure how to duplicate the "Browse User" feature of Napster where you can browse a like-minded peers share - I'd like to be able to check the MP3's bitrate before I download it. Should be easy to do as this metadata is available. - Gnutella uses are not very nice. Too many seem to hide behind firewalls. To compare "gnutella" to Napster I decided to find a file I had problems locating in Napster. I failed but it could be that I don't have the right name. Next I tried to download a common song. I choose "B**tles - Y*st*rday". (Wasn't that voted most popular somewhere). Found a few hundred sites willing to share. Most were behind a firewall :-( I choose a non-fw site and started downloading. Everything was going great until the connection was "killed by the other side" but all in all I can work with this. (Like I have a choice.)

 I too tried clients and in roughly the same order. My findings: LimeWire: . nice interface, intuitive to use. . unacceptable CPU usage -- roughly 20% of my PIII/600. . unacceptable bandwidth usage. though set to limit its upload bandwidth to roughly 56k speeds it chewed through over 200 kbps as measured by the router through mrtg. looks like mostly query-related traffic. . grew in RAM to around 20M . written in JAVA BearShare: . comes shipped with too much extra stuff -- streaming advertisements, an alternate-TLD plugin that excludes .web, some undocumented wizard, etc. . much better on the usage. 5%, while sharing around 700 files and connected to three hosts. . runs around 30kbps (self-reported) just for the queries. . per-connection upload figures are really bouncy. not averaged over even the past few seconds. . using 17M ram. Gnotella: . after reading the thread on CPU usage i avoided it entirely. Until a client is devised that can better manage its utilization of the physical network, this is not a service I can leave running 24/7. |

| i really don't understand what all the complaints are about. Gnutella works. Within 2 weeks, I've extracted more than 3 GB of (rare) audio material from the network, using DSL provided by DT. Now isn't that a decent amount of noise? I've mainly used Gnotella, it is by far the best client out there. No other programme delivers better search results- ok, there are instabilites and so on... for the ex-napster users, Bearshare and Limewire are probably the best choices, anyway, cuz they are oh-so sleak in appearance and create a certain "everything's nominal" athmosphere. What really SUCKS about those clients is that the search functionality is bad in handling and only returns few good hits, even with many hosts connected. Finding rare stuff is almost impossible with those blunts. Use GNOTELLA. |

| Yeah it works! Gnotella is a really OK program. I don't think everyone sharing files on Gnutella want to be without protection from all the porn lunatics out there (I don't mean people sharing files, I'm talking about those kids with to much time and to little respect). There is a difference in sharing .mp3's and sharing any old file. And if the Gnutella network tries to make their services too mp3 friendly, guess what? That's right: Napsterification... Totally killing off the idea with filesharing (and suckin' some major recordompany d**k). I too downloaded GB upon GB with great stuff. Rare music mostly...Or just good music! BTW, I think it should be mandatory to download at least one Metallica song just to **** 'em off! pax |
