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.

Default Question about 0.4 connections

I have just tried V0.4 and notice an oddity about it's operation (with the daemon or terminal mode).

After working for a while - several minutes to several hours - I get Zeros for the Horizon, for the Sockets, and for the bandwith. Also, any down/uploads in progress stop. Sometimes, it will restart after 15=>30 minutes. Sometimes not. When it refuses to start, I can shut it down, restart it and everything works fine - for a while - then the Zero stuff happens again.....

Any idea as to what could be happening???
How I could fix it to stay connected?

cheers,
johnd

Hi!

this is indeed odd. Looks like network thread get's blocked in some place... However, I think I know what it might be: if you are using mutella for a while you may have out of date host setvers in AutoConnectSrvX. Clean it up by setting them all to connect1.gnutellanet.com, connect2.gnutellanet.com and so on. Might help.

Let me know how it works.

Hmmmm. I suspected something like this, so made a script to run when things got weird. The script:
open connect1.bearshare.net
open connect1.gnutellanet.com
open gnet2.ath.cx
open gnutella.fileflash.com
open gnutella-again.hostscache.com
open ghutella.hostscache.com
open public.bearshare.net
open router.limewire.com

This seems to work sometimes, but fails at other times. I conclude that it a "don't care". Some odd observations:
1) The connect1=4.gnutellanet.com don't work for Mutella or gnotella (on a Windoze box). They *never* get me any other hosts or network horizon.
2) I run a SOHO network with all machines behind a Linux firewall/gateway - which does IP masquarade.
This has never presented a problem before. Other programs - including Gnotella & Limewire - work fine. (I'm behind it now.......)

Just this PM, Mutella "hung up" with zeros for everything. I shut it down, started Gnotella on my notebook, found a downloaded a small file....Weird.

You think that this info might help find the cause? I would *really* rather run the Mutella on my Linux box, rather than run gnotella - or other - on one of the ever so crashable Win boxes.....

I do appreciate your response.

cheers,
johnd

Excuse me for fowollowing up my own post, but I just got another clue that might bear on the Mutell behaviour. I was just running Mutella as a daemon & it "hung up" for several hours. When I looked at the process table, I saw that one of the "mutella" entries had a huge life span - almost two hours. When it is working correctly, these process entries seem to have short lives. I assume that they are restarted reguarly. If my guess is correct, some process may be hanging.

The Perl script starts seven "mutella" processes on my system and the "hanging" process # is either 3 or 4 after the process # of the Perl script.

Maybe that could shed some light?

cheers,
johnd

possibly. if you run mutella as daemon, use screen instead. readline library, a part of terminal UI expects a terminal, it cannot work with /dev/nul. if you do so user interface thread eats up 100% of cpu which is not a good thing at all... something like

screen -mdS mutella /usr/local/bin/mutella

should solve your problems I believe.

If it is the UI that causing the problem, how would that explain the intermittent nature of the
servent "going to sleep" and then going back to normal again later? Wouldn't the 100% CPU usage be a problem which persisted, once initiated?

I don't think that CPU horsepower is really the problem. As I said earlier, I also run Mutella in the terminal mode (direct, without Screen). This should be a low bandwidth User Interface. Less bandwidth than the daemon mode...?..

In order to be sure, I am now running Mutella in the daemon mode, and checking the CPU usage with the "top" utility. The summation of all my user processes - including the Mutella threads - has not exceeded 16%. (Most machines on my LAN network are mostly shut down, my CPU is fast and the Internet connection - handled by my Firewall machine - is via 56K modem).

Seems that I've got lots of horsepower to spare...



For a while, I thought that my Firewall machine might be messin' with me. But, I ran a copy of Shareaza on a windoze box for several days and the problem of the servent "going to sleep" never occurred. Gotta be either something in my Linux box and/or in Mutella..??...
Drat!

If Mutella would connect & up/download like Shareaza, I would be one heck of a happy camper!!!

cheers,
johnd
