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.

Post multi part transfer

Hi, i use multiple file sharing programs and i have limited bandwidth, so i have got some ideas which hopefully let me only use 1 filesharing program.

Kazaa has 2 big advantages over Limewire.

1. Kazaa chews up a lot less bandwidth

2. And Kazaa has multipart transfers

I think Limewire should incorperate both of these features and also

1. be skinable

2. Connect to multiple other networks

Hope these changes can be implemented in the new 2.6 beta

ok, didnt know bout that (since it doesent av the % thing)

And as for connecting to other networks, their are many programs forming that actually do connect to other networks (other than their own)

by the way do you have any idea why limewire seems to use up heaps more useage than kazaa and other programs???????

But as you pointed out, you have limited bandwidth and this may be an issue to you...On this point, you should probably only be connected to 3 hosts at once, which will greatly minimize the amount of bandwidth you use to hold your connections, like to under 1 Kb/s.
Kazaa is not fully decentralised, so it takes less bandwidth to connect. If you run LimeWire in a Java platform its running real fast, its Windoooz fault.

Hello!

Why are you using the name Morpheus when you are using LimeWire and not Morpheus?.

Yes there is programs that allow multiple networking but those does not have all the special features of the respective protocol usually you are just able to download stuff but even that is sometimes extra problematic since the horizon in Gnutella for those apps are very small.And usually you are not able to share files yourself hence by using them you are leeching(Freeloading).

LimeWire is by far superior as a Gnutella client then any of those multiple networks apps and also I think it is the best Gnutella client available it sure is the most advanced one.

You say you have problem with LW eating up to much CPU resources.

LW is a Java app and Java requires alot of a computer it is a technhology in its infancy and will become a very powerfull technology in the future.But once your computer meets up the specs then it is indeed very fast.

To Run LW well you will need atleast 64MB of free physical RAM and a minimum of 400MHz Pentium 3 processor (It will run on even slower CPU's but will be slow as sirap).

But if your computer have trouble with LW and your computer meet up to those specs then the issue might have something to do with its CPU designation in Windows 2000 or XP.

To solve it do the following:

Open the task manager by pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Go to the processes tab. Find javaw.exe and right click on it. Change the priority to low, and your system should be acting normal and responsive again.

If you don't have much bandwidth try to select "Disable Ultrapeer...".
