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.

If that's the case, you might need to temporarily stop sharing the folder this file is in. Before you stop sharing, go to LW's menu-Tools-Options-Sharing menu & make a note of the folder(s) name, location & path. Now you can stop sharing; select the appropriate shared folder in your LW Lib window, Go to LW menu-File & select Stop Sharing Folder. Now you can delete the file. To resart sharing that folder again, go back to the LW menu-File & select Add file to Share, Or go back to LW menu-Tools-Options-Sharing & reset/reselect your shared folder(s) & start sharing again.

There's various things you can 'try' to help with the dwnld. (a) Only dwnld one item at a time, (b) Do another search for the movie & see if you can latch onto more sources & be dwnlding from more than one source. (Keep in mind that not all people have fast internet connections some as slow as dialup modem & some as good as T1.) You will have connected to the 1st available source of the movie, be that a modem source or something better, or you may be dwnlding from a few modems at the same time. (c) Kill the Dwnld in the LW dwnld window & reselect it to dwnld. You may be luckier next time to latch onto a faster source (if you do this it would be worthwhile to re-search for the movie so you can find fresh sources - sources in search results can go stale if they've been sitting there for a while). By killing the dwnld, it will not delete the incomplete file you've been dwnlding. So when you redwnld it, it will resume where it left off. (the only small chance this doesn't happen, kill the dwnld & select another from the search results.)
(d) see this link to help configure LW for better results: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1
I hope these suggestions help.

Talking That File Is Not What You Think It Is

I had to smile when I saw your consternation at DL a movie and it wasn't "the right movie." I completely and totally sympathize with you. Nothing cheeses (read ******) me more than the chowderheads out there that call "Debbie Licks A Lolipop", "read the Rulez Full Complete DivX - Super High Quality - Best Movie Burn Ever." THE ABSOLUTE WORST are the idiots who allow the file to perpetuate and then spread it all over cyber-creation. These folks have some sort of agenda but I'll be damned if I know what it is. If you have Cable/DSl or higher then usually you have wasted some bandwidth and a little time. If you have a JURASSIC STONE AGE 3000 Modem (read 128 or less) then I really feel bad for you because you will waste all your Bandwidth and about 3 days of your life to watch A grainy, incomplete copy, of Debbie licking her lolipop instead of seeing NEO and the gang kick some serious behind. ALL IS NOT LOST. Here are some simple tips I have come to use that save me a lot of lifespan and keep that little vein above my left temple from bursting. 1) Look at the file size before you click on the file name that says, for example, "read the Rulez - Complete Movie, Pristine Quality - You can't Find A Better Copy Than This" or some similar nonsense. If the file size is anything less than 600-750 MB than you DO NOT HAVE A FULL MOVIE! (Unless it is a torrent file - and I don't see many of those). Further, what do you think the chances are of read the Rulez being SUPER HIGH QUALITY? Very, very slim, my friend. That movie just came out so you have to know that some guy who can't get a date probably spent his money on a cheap camera and sat in the back row of a cheap theatre to record it. Also, any file that is less than 3000 KB is usually a redirect to a site that either requires you to DL a license to view it (read SPYWARE ADWARE ALERT). I higly suggest that no matter how bad you want to see Debbie lick that lolipop you don't accept that lisence because you will spend forever and a day getting all that spyware and adware off your CPU even with a good cleaner. I' further suggest, if you haven't already, get the best modem and speed you can afford, and the most updated memory you can afford. I'm sure there are people out there that have better ideas than mine or disagree with what I have said but it's based on my own experience--everyone is different. I had tons of problems with Morpheus and Morpheus Pro but no problems with LW Basic. So, go figure. I hope it helps to know that there are others that share your frustration. I was trying to think of a convention that LW could use to screen out these mis-labeled files but there isn't a practical way that I can think of offhand. You would have a little better luck with a torrent because the likelyhood of someone DL a bad copy of the same file from 200 people is remote of a file like read the Rulez Season 2 - Episode 1.

chicagojohn to answer the part of your question/point about incorrectly labelled movies & such, have a look at the following thread 'Quality of Content on the Network', 6th post on the page: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&pagenumber=12 You've made some good points about spyware & poor quality movies. Some other threads on the forum (in different sections) have also discussed some of these issues. Interesting stuff.

Default To LOTR

Forgive my ignorance of some of the "RULEZ." I just got onto LW and have read through some but not all of them (rulez). Apparently on this P2P forum you can't mention anything commercial. That wasn't my point I was trying to empathize/sympathize with the user (or uzr). I don't wish to be banished to the 47th plane of non-existence (crude Christopher Guest reference). I am very pleased with LW and have posted some inq. regarding pro. If you see them--I value your opinion. I have read some of your responses and appreciate the way you get to the point. Unfortunately, as a writer, I tend to add "color" where it is not needed which conflicts with my neo-hack attitude of late. Anyway, thanks for the reponse.
