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 Limewire 4.0.6 Breaks Magnet Links

I have been using LimeWire Pro (version 4.0.6 for Windows XP) and recently noticed that it breaks when using the new Bitzi magnet links created with Bitzi's BitCollider 0.6.0 (the latest version of BitCollider; see http://bitzi.com), probably because these magnet links support Kazaa's KZHASH identifier. Every time I try a magnet link from Bitzi I get the following error message from Limewire Pro:

"Cannot Process Bad MAGNET Link"

As a test I used the latest version of BitCollider to create a bitprint for the 14.2 MB Quicktime movie called "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban trailer.mov" that is on the Gnutella network. There are a number of sources for it, as you can tell by searching by name alone; downloading starts immediately when I search by name and start the download manually (it's a good test file with plenty of sources). BitCollider created the following magnet URI for this movie:

magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:56DPZGKW2NFAYCT6CAEAE3RFIVXLW7 VL&xt=urn:kzhash:b7a9638559c44123cb82821faf10f2809 abc71a04c13844a2a8aa5c20f09cb68044e1e06&dn=Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban trailer.mov

And then BitCollider registered this movie at Bizi.com, which you can look up at:

http://bitzi.com/lookup/56DPZGKW2NFA...L?ref=limewire

No matter how I try to load this magnet link in Limewire Pro it fails, just like all other Bitzi magnet links, which I imagine is the result of the "&xt=urn:kzhash:" being in the link. If I remove the Kazaa info Limewire doesn't give me an error message but it still won't start downloading it immediately -- I have to click on the file in my download area and choose "Get More Sources" a few times before it starts to download. Here's the modified magnet (I removed part of the long file name as well to shorten the URI):

magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:56DPZGKW2NFAYCT6CAEAE3RFIVXLW7 VL&dn=Azkaban.mov

Shouldn't Limewire just ignore the Kazaa specific info (i.e., "&xt=urn:kzhash:") instead of preventing the link from working? Currently all Bitzi magnets fail as a result, when they would otherwise work if this info was ignored by Limewire. This makes the entire Bitzi catalog useless for Limewire users; I have had to start using Kazaa instead, which I'd prefer not to do!

Could you please update Limewire Pro (the upcoming v4.0.7) to ignore the Kazaa info in magnets, and also have it automatically check for new sources when magnet links are used (downloads don't start automatically -- you currently must click on the file name in the download area and then click the "Get More Sources" button before a magnet link download will actually being).

With thanks for an excellent product,
Aaron

You can use one of my songs for testing purposes.

"Das klein wild Vögelein".
It is a very old folk-Song from Germany. Translated it means "The little wild bird" and is originally about pretty village-daughters, who don't want to come to the castle of their landlord, but you couldn't sing that blatantly in those times.

Its Bitzi Magnet-Link is:

magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:5XVVT24UBEYSCDCGBMWHKOBT2VXJUP DJ&xt=urn:kzhash:847cdfc36d11312e56dbe4705e7a2149c af991ed3f54e79ae754fe9d9bc0ce29f1510a2e&dn=voegele in.mp3

Its LimeWire Magnet-Link is:
magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:5XVVT24UBEYSCDCGBMWHKOBT2VXJUP DJ&dn=Das%20klein%20wild%20Voegelein.mp3&xs=http://edrikor.dyndns.org:9845/uri-res/N2R?urn:sha1:5XVVT24UBEYSCDCGBMWHKOBT2VXJUPDJ&as=h ttp://dlaikar.de/arnebab/musik/voegelein.mp3

You can find it here:
http://dlaikar.de/arnebab/musik/voegelein.mp3

And its description with creative-commons-license attribution-sharealike here:
http://draketo.de/inhalt/lieder/voegelein.html

You can find some more songs, which are free to distribute here:
http://draketo.de/inhalt/lieder.html



A german story of mine can also be freely distributed:

Korben, the story of a rather unsuccessful adventurer set in a fantasy world.

Bitzi-magnet:
magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:WP5EUICAAFI3VRCM7GVKBVAIMWIADE HK&xt=urn:kzhash:8de0e8af53ae92ee339eafd85e19f2f85 7607c07a21fdfc8e79cc02168e1651d2473af25&dn=korben_ a5_2004-06-22.pdf

LimeWire magnet with http-source:

Default Magnet media (copyright free) online

The Bitzi site is back up, and so I've completed the Bitzi magnet links and also LimeWire magnet details as well. The files are now ready for testing LimeWire with magnet links that have Kazaa info in them. Here's the link:
http://mantiscorp.com/people/aew/limewire/

Following is the most of the original post for reference... Aaron
--
Although I don't know of any copyright free media already on the Gnutella that you can use for testing (even the Harry Potter movie trailer is covered by copyright, as is most other widely distributed content), I have uploaded 3 pieces of media to my personal Web site that you can distribute freely for testing -- I created these media files, and on the "Magnets" page provide a blanket usage statement for you and anyone else who needs to use them:


http://mantiscorp.com/people/aew/limewire/

You can start to distribute the media files for testing if you'd like.

Regards,
Aaron
