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. |

 found a way to find files with valid sources ok just a minute a go i was seaching for somehting, many files came up claiming to have sources in the double and even triple digits. when i went to download these, many of them said "need more sources" but one of them was actually downloading, when i looked at the difference between these files i found that with the files i was able to download i was also able to browse host. I coulnd do this with any of the files that needed more sources. when i searched it again i found that this trick also works before you start the download. This way you can eliminate all the files that need more sources. SO my advise is: if you can browse the host then there is high chance of finding valid sources.   |

 Hi Bert5412, Thanks for the tip. That could be a way to help find good sources, but doesn't necessarily mean that a file is bad. A lot of times you can't browse a host because they don't have chat enabled, or they don't have enough bandwidth left to allow browsing, or maybe they have some firewall issues. So even though you can't browse their files may still be good  .

 or just list the ArTiSt or SoNg name... that works too.. (one or the other, not both) sometimes... if you use both.. chances are you won't get a valid source. It's a bit harder to get the results.. but safer... I mean safer because if you have peerguardian... You will fin out that many files that are not valid sources... are actually "corporations" or... "buerows" (my spelling sucks....) or.. [my favorite] "Information networks"... so.. careful with those files... McAfee only blocks so many.... ~see sig. for link for peerguardian~ [free] |

| Browse host isn't reliable at all. You might be unable to browse a host then 10 minutes later the same host can be browsed. You may see 30 files when browsing a host, 10 minutes later you can see 100 files from that same host. You have more chance of being able to browse hosts who have chat enabled, but even then it's very random as to who can & can't be browsed. Users who are firewalled are very hard to browse. There's no option to enable/disable browsing. |

| sup y'all (note the gangster/redneck accent...) I hate bumping... but I got a good technique.... I've done this various times.. (yet I never realized it..) Put your cursor over the file... A good file should read... (As follows) Quote:
A song - Vicarious Title: A song Artist: vicarious Album: I kick-*** Genre: nu metal Length: 4:00 Bitrate: 128 ======== Something like that... I do this all the time.. I just now realized it works... most of the time.... Note: Look for the length Many fake files don't have length... try it out... sticky this airhead... |

Some fakes don't have length showing within extended tooltips & some have the length that you'd expect. Some fakes have zero as track number. Some have TRACK1, sometimes you have a run of files with identical tooltips info - starting from the file with 100 sources down to the file with 5 sources. And sometimes the info looks just as you'd expect from a legit file. There's no one thing that stands out...people should stay away from anything that looks remotely strange.
