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.

Talking *Shareaza beats all the other Gnutella software into a bloody mess.

Minor upgrade 1.0.2 is now available. This upgrade
incorporates many of the features and fixes requested over the past 48 hours since the
initial release. Limit searches to certain file types, faster uploads, better QRP compatibility,
auto-connect, more intuitive results display. Yes it has it all.

And how does it affect the network to get this "beats all the other Gnutella software" status?
Any chance it trashes the network for everyone else?

Listen UP Mr 64.24.x.x.x

You are really going to have to stop trolling round to spread your negativity... Next time I see an empty post from you equal to this one, zap
Got it?
You are either going to stop with your constant and meaningless negativity or you are going to see your posts disappear real fast.
Got it?
As said before, you have NOT evaluated this client and many people here are sick and tired of your garbage posts which contribute nothing to these forums.
I did say 'please' to you to stop your foolishness. You get only one of those. From this post on, if you choose to continue with nothing but attacks and diatribes, you will be deleted.
Up to you.
These forums MUST be able to support open discussion about all Gnutella clients.......
This does not include your 'arrogant stupidities and childish ego displays'.

The comments made by the OTHER unregistered poster are with merit. It, Shareaza, is, as far as anyone can determine to date, a really wonderful piece of work.

Now, if you do not have a client of your own making to share with all of us, shut up.

Those seem to be legitimate questions and I don't here any negativity coming from it. While this unregistered user has been a pain in the a** sometimes, it seems you are starting a personal little war against him. Perhaps you should let another mod step in.

OK, point taken from you.
I would say that I see all of the posts from this individual in the normal course of doing the mods job, and there is a 100% consistency of negativity and innuendo and simple unfounded attacks included in all of his posts.
It has been suggested that this particular unregistered poster may possess some knowledge in regards these subjects discussed here...... If this is so, than I would hope to see the fruits of his knowledge made available to some here who may benefit. I wish to see the fruits of his automatic negative reactions limited. They are harmful to the well-being of the majority of Gnutella network client users and to those who genuinely seek assistance or a sounding-board within these forums.
I very much support his potential as a possible "devil's advocate" here, but, with polite behaviour and far more than a routine, "You are an idiot and do not know what you are talking about..." attitude... He has already tried to pull this off with people who are well established within the Gnutella community, and failed...... I think it is important that he stop this behaviour with everyone here.
A troll is a troll, no matter what level of technical prowess the troll may possess. Trolling is trolling.

It would be very nice to see him become a part of the 'solution' around here, hmmm?
It is not difficult to do this..... All you need to do is have the memory and integrity to admit that only a short while ago you knew nothing.... and, in the future, you will always be a newbie with something.... Everything, actually

Swarm downloads, Ultrapeer and query routing technology use intelligent connections to save your bandwidth.

Detailed diagnostic and monitoring capabilities including smart packet dumping, search monitoring and filtered hit monitoring enable you to keep an eye on the network.

Fully featured and infinitely configurable performance graphing visualises key indicators such as bandwidth utilisation, neighbour interactions, downloads, uploads and network characteristics over time.

Support for the latest Gnutella protocol enhancements such as v0.6 handshaking, Ultrapeer/Supernode, QRP, BYE, pong caching, flow control, EQHD, HUGE, HTTP/1.1, chat and XML metadata ensure you're PC is a good citizen on the network.

It allows you to connect to hundreds of ultrapeers at a time (whatever your bandwidth will allow), set your TTL, expire time, and any other option to whatever you want it to, no matter if it has the potential of hurting the network or not, and one of it's "features" allows Shareaza users to "hide" by changing the user agent field (so it will look like they are actually using Limewire, Bearshare, Gnucleus, or whatever), and it allows you to hammer other users for files.

Virtually all aspects of the software can be configured. If it's running on your PC, you should have control.

In addition to the usual set of options, network control registers allow knowledgable users to tweak performance outside normal operating conditions.
Sounds like another QTrax2 to me, with the possibility to be much worse.

My point exactly.
Someone with a personal grudge against me seems to not want this pointed out.

Makes sense since the other clients like Gnuc, LW and BS have all those "cool" features like ultrapeers and such. So any client that gets way better results should be questioned as to how it does it.
I am just asking questions, how can this "new" client get you better results than any of the leading existing well developed, researched and well behaved clients?

Default Proof

I just posted the proof. I'm not saying the default settings will harm the network, but this client is aimed towards advanced users, it seems. Many of these people will be tweaking the settings to their advantage, in turn hurting the network. Have you ever seen a Qtrax2 user hammer you for files once per second? Even while they're already downloading the file from you? I never downloaded Qtrax (I did download Shareaza and give it a spin), but I don't think those are it's default settings, either. But the fact is, alot of people who will be downloading this will set it up so that it best benefits them, without regard for the rest of the network, as we've already seen with Qtrax. And I believe this client has the ability to be even worse than Qtrax on the network (more options for the tweaking, and no limits to what they can set them to).
