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.

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 Adding files by browser

It would be helpful for Limewire to be able to use a URL device like eMule to click on a link, and add the files to the download queue. This would make it easy to build a list of files in HTML and make it easier to add to the queue for downloading as parts become available. Limewire is far more widely used and this capability would extend Limwire's potential for distribution greatly.

It is already possible. While I'm not completely familiar with the process, it is explained here:

I found a tool called maketorrent that is adequate for making a.torrent fie that I can post on a web page so clicking on it can download 290 files easily without problems. The tool can make a torrent for each file or for the whole lot, like I chose.

Now limewire users wanting the files, can load them into the download queue and wait for the 7GB of files I wanted to share.

The files are tablebases for computer chess, the torrent is for all end-game positions with 5 pieces on the board. I have an MD5 for 6 pieces, which is a few thousand files, but I dont have enough disk space for the 1.2 TB to create the torrent file from at present.

P2P with torrents makes sense considering the volume of files for this add-on to a chess game. It takes a powerful computer to make them, P2P makes distrinution to interested players a no-brainer.

I would not at all recommend Limewire for such an action. There are brilliant torrent clients that do just what you are describing already. In my opinion Limewire in severely lacking in that area.

Well the rest of my post got lost so here is the short version

If these are legal files then have the torrents hosted at BitTorrent inc or use Azureus Vuse to host them.

BTW I hope that 1.2TB is a spelling error because noone wants files that big.

Its not, 1.2 TB is the compressed version, the uncompressed set is 4.7 TB. As for the torrent, its now posted for 5 pieces, 1 click to add 5 piece tablebases to your favorite chess program. The tablebases make a dramatic improvement in game play in the end game where chess programs are notoriously weak.

Computer CHess has the torrent for 5 pieces along with info for the remainder of the parts, along with some general info on computer chess.

Why not make P2P do something legit for a change.

I agree wholeheartedly, although 1.2TB is extremely large. My interest is mostly music though.

You should link to some good clients on that page, because like you said Limewire is widely used, which I take as implying other BitTorrents clients aren't. I would recommend Azureus, uTorrent and as long as it's legal the official BitTorrent client.

Unfortunately music on P2P while commonplace is not legal in the US but everywhere else its tolerated to one degree or another.

Because the tablebases are so large, P2P is useful as the FTP error correction capability is weak when dealing with large files.

The problem is because of abuses, some P2P software vendors have been sued to death. Others like Limewire are under constant fire but remain quasi legal because of the disclamers.

Legit uses exist, the computer chess is one example. The problem is that everyone shares music, and no wonder the RIAA is suing. On my system, only tablebases, al 7.05GB of them are shared.

Still looking for a magnet creation tool, to suplement the torrent by offering a choice to users who want to download free tablebases to enhance their chess game.

Chess is extremely popular in Europe, where it is played widely and where 3/4 chess engines come from.

All music isn't illegal. E.g. take a look in the lounge here where I posted a link to the first part of the newest Nine Inch Nails release. The band have uploaded the torrent themselves, so everyone can grab it. Also this helps with the cost of distribution as people aren't just grabbing it of a server.

Like I said Limewire sucks for big files while BitTorrent is perfect for it. When a torrent gets added to Limewire, it gets renamed and in case of corruption, it more then once has happened that the parts already downloaded were unusable.

Regular BitTorrent programs on the other hand have no problem checking half done files and figuring out what parts are missing.

Let's just for discussions sake say that this is doable, because it is. Just the devs don't seem to care.

Firstly, Limewire has to stop renaming incomplete downloads
Then even if a file gets corrupted, it will still be possible to just add the torrent again and recheck the pieces that are already in the incomplete folder.

If that is done the failure rate would already be drastically decreased.

BTW I don't know if they have already done this, but I seriously doubt it. When they starting on making the Hybrid Limewire, they completely ignored the people saying that they were doing it wrong.

This is the same thing that is wrong when people are unable to restart incomplete downloads from the Gnutella network. Limewire losing it's connection with the file??? What make the connection necessary in the first place by renaming and performing unnecessary task..
