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.

Thumbs down Why is everybody queing???

I do not understand why so many people are queing file transfers lately. Gee whiz folks, if you don't want to share your files then don't put them in your sharing folders. It's a real pain in the ***.

I think you will find that this is an automatic function... this usually takes place for one of two reasons.

The host has reached it's bandwith limits and can service no more peers for the time being.
-or-
You are already downloading X # of files form a host and the host has a number set for the max number a single peer can download at one time.

In either case being Queued is good since it means you are in line and not being denied access.

I have experienced it in the past with Limewire... I have been 'removing' Morpheus connections as they appear - I have better luck with all of the other flavors... of course I have to re-check every once in a while...

Yeah, I've been removing the Morpheus connections too. But it doesn't seem to help very much. I think it may be time for me to move on to different P2P client.

I don't know who to blame but I have been having a horrible time downloading the files I want. This is a new problem I have had great success with LimeWire in the past. It sure seems to coincide with the whole Morpheus thing. The las post may be correct it may be time to try another p2p.

Yeah... I have been tinkering with a couple of other clients myself.... the reality is I like Limewire .... maybe some shrewd Limewire developer will allow you to set filters on "vendors" in the hosts section... so we don't have deal with apps like Morpheus

Hmmmm.....
Morpheus is not a 'bogus app'...... it is the result of a very large number of people who are not p2p 'savvy' coming into the Gnutella Network very quickly - almost like a tidal wave...... The problem is mainly that there are suddenly a very large number of users who are not using the correct configurations and who are unaware of this error. The very great majority of Morpheus users should NOT be operating as Ultrapeers....... This is the main problem. But, this problem is hardly limited to Morpheus users.... it is true for the great majority of users and clients...... It's only that there are so MANY Morpheus users and they arrived so SUDDENLY!

And now, hang on to your hats for the next tsunami caused by the removal of AudioGalaxy..... Those users are not going to take up model airplanes and crocheting!!!
They are coming into Gnutella NOW! Perhaps the impact will not be so great as there is no one yet 'compelling' ex-AG users to use one cloned client as Morpheus did with their 'customers' and the Gnucleus clone they are using.....

OK I concede Morpheus is not 'Bogus'

Then would it not be the vendor that should at least set default configurations into a less 'offensive' default? I have to admit I tried Morpheus a while back and was not too impressed...

I still like the 'filter' idea...

Yes!!!
Too many of them are providing the s'ware with defaults that are totally stupid..... New users are not aware of this and have no choice but to trust..... So-called experienced users have the fantasy that more is better in every case....
result = Bad Ultrapeers, corrupt files shared from Downloads folder, aggressive querying and the building of a new generation of Game-Playing-Geniuses who got there first practice on ultra-high-speed mouse operations by deleting Morpheus hosts!!!!!
