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 "***" : - Corrupt video files & Blocking multiple sources issue

hi,

many files show pretty authentic names/sizes/... and are 'offered' by numerous hosts (why cant I block just the whole bunch of host displayed in search results?).
So, no way for me to determine which is good and which isnt. Even bizzi fails (one episode I downloaded was perfectly corrupt but www.bizzi ... told me that this file got a 1.4 rating and is supposed to be good!?
Have anyone made the same eyperience?

thanx
markus

p.s.: dont waste your time on explaining to me how to make non-corrupted files play - Iknowhow2dothis -; the files I'm talking about are corrupt!

The problem with blocking some of these hosts is that they may have dynamic ip's. Meaning on another day they will probably have a different ip. And some other unlucky person may have adopted the previous ip. Just a thought!

Doesn't Right-clicking the search result & choosing block then block them all? Actually I just tried it out & it does only seem to block the 1st in line!

hi,

thats exactly what happens when I right-click and block: just the first ip gets blocked.
the most irritating to see is the speed which with fakers adopt to very specific file names (i.e. xy.hdtv-lol.[BT].avi).

hdtv.avi is there such a thing? I mean hd refers to high resolution. Which should be over 1000 pixels each way (I can't remember off hand. There's more than one hd format anyway; several)

I could only suggest to ignore those particular ones. Unless other members have any suggestions.

*** was a great series by the way! I most enjoyed it!

Certainly very popular. I did a search for it & came up with lots of results.

When you say the results have names like: xy.hdtv-lol.[BT].avi), are you able to see that in the search results or only after you've finished downlding it? I can't see any such files in my search results. The show seems to be popular in Japan also.

Which version of LW are you using out of curiousity?

Greetings photopilote,

I just played around with this. Only program that would play it was MC. I tried RM,WMP,Nero Showtime,VLC.

The file type I d/led was xy.xyz.hdtv-lol[BT].avi. Well I figured out why only MC would play it. Whoever is sharing it knowingly or unknowling encrypted it. I did the bizi also and got the same rating results on this file. It wasn't corrupt just encrypted.

Kinda stupid if you ask me. **edit** was refering to being encrypted **edit**

Cool

@ Lord of the Rings,

what counts most in the 'hdtv-lol' is probably the 'lol' ... (to get serious again: I think it just indicates the broadcast-format, the encoded file size is somewhat about 520x...)
Actually theres a guy out there who likes to add 'lol' to his filenames. This guy does very good encodings and I never had problems with those files. And yes the filename remains the same: from searching to completing download.

I'm using 4.4 now, but as I didnt update (from 4.2.6) but yesterday I can confirm that nothing changed when it comes to those fake files

Jop, *** is great!! Just finished the third day and just cant stop ... .

@ fabion

thanx a lot, I'll check this out.

p.s.: did I say dont explain me how to make an avi-file play?!? shame on me ....

@ fabion,

just tried the mc but couldnt get the file played. Gspot is telling me mpeg1-layer3 32 kbps 44100 Hz, size 343mb audio only file. Actually its an japanese TV-Rip, so maybe its compressed in a unusual way?
Which version of MC did you use?

thanx

MC version 2002 sp2. And ouch you got me there. I forgot about 2 weeks ago I added some features when I got a japanese keyboard for this comp., and hooked it up. It worked good for the most part with LimeWire, no problems other than the ones I generated. But I was consistently having problems with M$ products and displaying proper characters. I d/led numerous items from the M$ website to correct this. I don't recall everything right now, but I'm wondering now if I didn't install some special codecs at the same time.

I got audio and video on the program I d/led yesterday. I only received one msg. when I tried to play it. "This file has been encryted would you like to decrypt ". Yes No Cancel

I will see if I still have the e-mail from M$ tech support about this. It had the links to the items I d/led. I'll pm it to you when I find it.
