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.

Ah, but you are confused.

The goal is not "domination". It is simply to group BearShare servents together.

It doesn't matter if the host cache is not fully secure because we aren't trying to separate from the network or deny service to anyone (note connectX.gnutellanet.com are running BearShare host caches).

All we are trying to do is structure the BearShare portion of the network a little more intelligently so that users get a better experience.

Therefore, if a few modified servents "lie" to our host cache it really isn't a big deal.

Excuse the new dummie, and try not to rag on me too much, K?
I won't even pretend to be up on Gnutella Protocol (thus and honest question)
I have been using bearshare 2.50 since it started in development.
Right here and now, I have 5 hosts - 4 BS and 1 gtk-gnutella. Meanwhile, my uploads are dominated be Gnucleus and gtk-gnutella, hammering at requests apparently every second!? One guy is trying to get 9 files...he/she is putting a scroll bar on my upload screen (I have 3 slots open - 1 per user) I have high speed, so I finally said screw it, opened 7 slots and 7 per user. Doesn't matter because this behavior is typical and unending....Without exageration I would say at least 70% of my uploads have been to non-BS servents in the past week. In spite of the hosts.
So, why is unending, greedy, ignorant, rude-as-hell (especially when you find out they are on dial-up) hammering not a big deal. I don't see many of you complaining of that. Again, I am truly just curious here. The rest of your points concerning BS and Limewire are taken.

In my eyes "IMPROVING THE NETWORK" means the whole network... not only a little portion! This is SEPERATING!

I, in my humble mind, think that Unregistered people of these fourms come up with some of the worse lies and bull **** i have ever seen.

As for bearshare grouping bearshare. Good! I use bearshare alot and i use all the host cache. I was connected to non bearshare clients and the only hosted files where morphus. I downloaded 2 larger files. 70 megs a pop. They were tv shows. well with the new muti-source downloading the files were screwed up. i read some where the limewire was going to hash files. maybe then vinnie wont group bearshare. but untill then i would like good files :Ş

Hmm...

this never happened to me... and I have tested more than only bearshare - perhaps a communication problem between bearshare and the other clients?

Ah Becker,

perhaps you know also why bearshare sends encrypted data packages when it connect? I am curious!

BearShare does this back to me too, it fills up my incoming bandwidth and I can't do much. (I am not running bearshare)
So now I block any connections from bearshare and then they never know I am here and don't plaster me with incoming packets.
I get more files this way.
