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.

If you want compatible clients "ALL" clients have to follow the same rules - so Gnutella is a democracy, actually the standards are fixed by the GDF!
There are no Gnutella standards, the GDF is discussing Proposals and Protocols some may implement while others may not.

Yes I can if they do it with "spyware", I have no problem that they try to earn money!
Spyware is a tale, mothers tell their pre-pubescent kids to scare them. If I may give you one advice: "Don't believe the hype!"

I assume you would pay for the additional bandwidth of letting other clients connect to your hostscache. Anyways, you can connect to router.limewire.com with various clients, including mutella, for example, which just happens to be one I tried.

And you should get your facts before YOU post rather than telling wild stories about what you suppose to be the truth without making the slightest attempt to verify it.

The statements that router.limewire.com is shut down for the public prove your point???

Perhaps your German is better than your English!

what about this new client that is charging $5 if you want to pay? You think people will pay and keep this company alive?
Why can't gnutella exist because open source code is all done and written because a few people gave a little time for free?
Isn't it the commercial interests that are causing all these changes in a effort to match or catch up to illegal trading systems (for profit systems that put up servers full of illegal MP3s so their network looks like people are sharing).
If people would be satisfied with the way things are now, you search, get a file and be happy, then we have the code and it's done.
Everyone thinks this is some sort of sports event where you have to "win". Gnutella will never become the #1 trading system, because illegal systems will always be better. But Gnutella will always be there because it's open and honest (people really "trade" with it).
No need for greed because the code is all done and anyone creating a "new" client and charging $$ would look like a fool.
So maybe it's greed that is creating more greed.

Default i get it

I finally get it. As posted by Unregistered above you are all mad because BS and LW are improving gnutella. Your right! I am mad at them to. I mean I really like gnutella 0.56. Ok so you couldnt get anything, the network was crap, full of spam and pretty much going down the drain. But at least it was open source and non-commercial (as long as you dont count AOL as commercial and a closed source program as open source - but thats all besides the point). Simple fact of the matter is that it was the greed of BS and LW that saved this network from itself and we should never forgive them for that!

BTW, anyone know where I can download 0.56. I really hate all these new features and great performance I am getting and would like a good old fashion crappy client.
