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.

Lightbulb Idea

I was thinking about why many downloads fail, and noticed that my upload slots are constantly filled with people downloading huge files.. 100+ meg files.
So people looking for smaller files can't get any slots.
Gave me an idea, how about a special slot just for smaller files?
It could even have its own upload speed limit.

Wink Large Files

That definitely is a cool idea! I notice the same thing on my connection, and I feel bad for someone who can't even download a 315 kb jpeg picture because everyone else is hogging all the bandwidth with large file downlaods. Being a modem user myself, I keep those larger files out of my shared directory because I know that uploading them is unfeasible. :-)

I thought I would flesh the idea out a little.
You could call it an "Express Slot" and give it prefered bandwidth.

you could have:
2 regular slots with a 15k limit
1 express slot with a 5k limit, but only gets used for files under 5 megs(user defined?), but that 5k is part of the 15k "regular" limit.

So there is always a 15k total limit on the bandwidth used. I feel this is important so that you can keep your bandwidth controlled, but at the same time let as many people make good use of it at once.

example:
2 people using the regular slots to download 75 meg videos, each getting 7.5k/sec.
Another person requests a 3 meg mp3, and the 2 people on regular slots are lowered to 5k/sec each, and the third person gets 5k/sec on the mp3.
When he gets finished, that 5k goes back to the first two people, and they go back to 7.5k/sec each.

I really think this could cut down on people not being able to get files.

Hope I explained it well enough. =P

Cool

There are two simple ways to do this without it beeing implemented in a client :
- run a second client, with just small files shared
( you can run both limewire and Phex, Phex runs on the same java enviroment instaled with Limewire)
- do one session with big files, and the next with small files

Needs to be finetuned but is a very good idea ...

I'm digging this post up from way in the past when there was only version 1.7 and such .
Sad to see were now up to 2.0 and we still don't have this .

Do the developers actualy read this ?
Seems not if you look at this ideas potentional .

And I don't consider running 2 instances of LW as an solution , too messy ...

Thumbs up This makes more files available

This is useful for anyone with a capped connection.

My upload slots are always filled with video downloaders. I'd like people to be able to get my mp3's as well. This almost never happens because a video takes one to two hours to download :-/

Btw. Almost all mIRC scripts have this kind of functionality.

Exclamation

How about instead of priority based on size, priority is based on what folder a file is in? That way you could have one folder with all your rare files and small easily downloaded files in it and another folder with your huge video files in it. The files in the low-priority folder would only be downloaded if there was bandwidth not being used by high priority stuff.

Also, could someone turn off upload limit reached messages? They make up like 99% of the messages and are the least informative.

It is more flexible, but also it's more complex to manage. It would also force you to structure your directories in a way you don't like.
As a plus on size selection; downloaded files are automatically selected for the correct slots.

I'll second that. All I want to know is which files have been uploaded successfully. There's no easy way to get this out of limewire currently.

There should be no limit on the express slot. And only let it share things under 500k.

Also, even if a user unchecks "share with other users", force one express slot to be shared.

Edit: ewwwww, i didnt see the date on the thread, sorry for bumping it. still a good idea, though.

Good idea to bring it back up .

I regulary see people trying to download 5 MB MP3's while all my slots are taken up by people downloading big files like games .
