Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Now you know that incomplete files are the files that you are downloading and you can preview them with a media player, like VLC. However, there are no extra files produced from this previewing process, in fact I know of no media player that will produce "preview files" above and beyond the files they are playing.

If, however, you can provide some proof, such as attaching an 100k sample to your next post, and saying which media player you are using, maybe we can get to the bottom of this "preview file" problem you have.

Would want "some proof" after I get done cleaning house!

I use VLC and Windows Media 11. I'm not sure if one or both of them are creating those "preview" file. I'm donwloading as we speak and when the file gets to about 5% I'll see what happens. Be back at ya in a few minute! Don't touch that bat dial!

Ok...here's the proof you requested. (see screenshot)

The music file was previewed by the default media player and the movie file was previewed with VLS. Now, the longer you preview, the bigger the preview files get. You'all come back now, hear.

Added another screenshot from a different angle.

RP, My media player does the same thing but all you have to do is left click and hold down as you go down all of the previwed files and you can delete all of them at the same time. I am using 4.13.10 Pro and this takes about 5 seconds to get ride of all the incomplete and previews.

I know how to delete files, my gosh. "I" shouldn't have to, is the point I'm trying to make here. I'd just like to know why LW doesn't delete them. Make LW look into the incomplete folder and delete: t-*.*

Simple as that!

Default Preview Files

Since I asked you to supply samples of your problem, and you have, I hope you don't mind too much if I carry this topic a little bit further.

As I said in my previous post, I too use VLC as my primary media player and I can quite categorically say that it does not create or leave preview files behind after previewing/playing an incomplete file.

Nevertheless, your spontaneously created PDF files which you call preview files, are usually files that are specially prepared documents compressed into PDF format. For example, most user guides are now displayed on a website, as PDF files, where you can download and print them out. PDF files should not be created by previewing a film clip.

You know, I have a feeling that your PCs security may have been compromised because, as you know, PDF are compressed files and as such can carry a booby-trapped payload. And as you delete them from your system before they can grow any bigger then you are relatively safe.

Sorry Rpbizzle, my paranoia would be working overtime if I saw files on my PC that spontaneously appeared or just weren’t suppose to be there.

Those files are not created into a pdf format and the only way they are created is through the use of LW. It doesn't matter which media player is used to preview the files.
