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.

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.

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 Aren't GUI network servers a dumb design?

Network servers should be system daemons. Having the server be inside of the client is a poor design, IF you want a good network. There should be one server running all of the time, no matter how many users log in, and runs if nobody is logged in.

The current mechanism is like having your web browser run as your web server. The current model is very Windows-like (a synonym for poor design) and maybe you have to go that way to make a cross-platform client/server without a lot of hassles, so maybe it is OK in that case. But, the question still stands: isn't a GUI network server a dumb design?

A Gnutella client is both a server and a client, so you would have to break part of it out into a server and that would just add more problems to what is already a complicated thing to do. You could have two things but most people want to know the "server" goes down when you quit the client, and the client shows all the server data plus the client data. It's not really a dedicated server.

You have source code, why not try breaking it apart and see how it goes?

I don't know why this is here in this section, can someone please move this to "general gnutella"? Thanks

Smile I agree and disagree, but for different reasons

I agree that it would be nice to have a gnutella client which consists of a daemon and (a) front-end(s).

But I don't see that it matters architecturally. As long as the client is multithreaded enough that the GUI doesn't slow the network response down, then it is perfectly valid to have a single program.

However, for CONVENIENCE I would LOVE a daemon which would launch with linux, detect when my ppp0 interface is up (dialup) and start sharing files and retrieving downloads I have specified either explicitly (file hash is known) or implicitly (search criteria given eg grep for filename, minimum bitrate, length of song).

It should have controllers built into the frontend that would let me easily turn sharing off etc, for when I really need all my limited bandwidth for something other than filesharing.

This architecture would help some people who have a firewall, in that the frontend could connect from a different server (ie one protected by firewall) than the daemon, which could be running in a DMZ, on the firewall or separate machine.

HTTP HTML sounds like the best controller interface for this to me.

Thumbs up We want daemons!

My mp3 box sits under my stereo with no console, and I control it with lirc. I would so love to have napshare running on in all the time downloading whatever new songs it finds. But to do that the napshare "engine" would have to be separated from the GUI. Anything that is designed to run unattended, 24/7, should not require a GUI.

I originally posted this when thinking aboout how things like magicdev and napshare are strictly GUI programs. I also read an article saying that the only real problem with gnutella types of programs is that the server only works while people are logged in. This is the Windows way of doing things, because it is a fairly limited OS. I would rather see Windows programmers start to do make real servers instead of this type of program being used more in Linux/*BSD.

However, Napshare-like programs do have a bit of a reason to be linked, because they retransmit information found as a client. Maybe the way to
do it would be to have a non-GUI client+server
daemon, and a separate GUI control interface.

yeah, this is exactly the kind of Gnutella client (ehum local server) I'm looking for. We are several persons to share the same MacOSX machine and we all use Limewire. When one of us wants to log in you have to log out the open user session, which means you have to quit Limewire and stop all ongoing down/up loads. Would be much better to have a local server which can run as a daemon and start when the machine is booted, to which you can connect a client from the current user session. All requests would continue to run in the server regardless of wether the client deconnects. Is anybody working on something like this?
