Forum Rules

Support Forums

Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you. To aid helpers in solving download/upload problems, LimeWire and Frostwire users must specify whether they are downloading a torrent file or a file from the Gnutella network.
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.

for some of you guys that got such lousy virus scaners, i think bitdefender is the best. i got mcafee 2006 which came with me dell pc & norton which came with my girlfriends hp pc. downloaded a bunch zip folder and i started have'n problems. ran mcafee 2006, found some viruses, still had problems. uninstalled and installed norton 2006, found some viruses, still had problems.

i decided to look for the best anti virsus software @ pcworld.com (http://www.pcworld.com/article/124475-1/article.html) got bit defender and found so much that mcafee and norton didn't, viruses, ads, hijacks, worms, ect....

just try the free trial and trust me you'll end buy'n it after you use it.

thanx for your immediate reply grandpa. i will visit that website that you posted & i hope i will understand whatever instruction will be given to me by that site cause to tell you the truth im not good in computers.i've read in some forum,not in this forum that it is very hard to remove about:blank & when i try to read the instructions for removing that thing,i have a doubt that i can do it.i've read also in that forum that to remove about:blank the easiest way,scan it with xoftspy which is not free.i tried to download xoftspy & it detects some malware/spyware that is not detected by spybot & ad aware that i have here.but to delete the things that has been scanned by xoftspy,that's it!you have to pay first for some code/key thing.i hope there are still antispyware out there for free which can do the same thing as xoftspy.thanx to all the people here in this forum who gave us computer ignorants unsolicited advice.for me the more i read in this forum,the more i become educated.sorry for my english!!!

Default Trojans and Virus infestations

Sphinx and Billabong654 Posts on page one.

It seems you feel people who download software and cracks are pirates and deserve the virus infections they get. True they have no licence and true they steal the program. You on the other hand; I am sure, download only legal music files, I guess.
OH I forgot. those are also not legal and are stolen if downloaded. I suppose the only legal files you can download from limewire are in fact the porn files produced by cracked individuals and most of those I am sure will result in nasty trojans or a virus.
Since you seem to use limewire I wonder where your superior better than thou attitude can come from. There are no legitimate, legal downloads available on any p2p site including this one. You sir are as guilty of piracy and theft as any one else who uses this service. Unless of course you only grab the porn. That is probably legal. Who would claim ownership of that crap.

Default Found some viruses, how do I warn Limewire and users?

I found some files with Trojans in them (and I don't mean safe sex), how do I warn Limewire and users? Can Limewire block the user from posting? I have blocked the hosts on my own but don't want others to get the viruses. DO NOT DOWNLOAD FILES 3462 IN SIZE, THEY WILL JUST REDIRECT YOU TO ANOTHER SITE. ALSO, THESE FILES ARE INFECTED:
