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.

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.

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. |

 Are any of these questions/complaints posted answered by appropriate official at all? I've posted a report that I keep getting downloads that stop at 99% completion and requested e-mail notification of the post being answered, but I haven't got an answer so far. Do officials at Gnutella read these messages at all? (then could I pleeease get some help with that, please?) |

 Where did you post it to? Did you try searching the XoloX forums for "99%" first? Most often when I don't answer a question it's because I've answered the same one more than a few times before. As for your question, usually when a file is nearing completion, the segments you are currently downloading get finished, and the hosts are dropped. The remaining gaps between segments still have to be filled, but you must find new hosts to connect to to get them. The hosts you just disconnected from are often busy, so re-connecting to them might not be possible. Before you complain about this behavior (which can't easily be avoided at this time) try comparing total time spent downloading the file vs. other sharing programs such as Limewire or BearShare. As for the devs, I'm hoping that they're just busy right now. Moak, myself, and a few other diligent testers uncovered several fairly major flaws in the program while they were having ISP troubles. Now that they are back, these problems should have priority over responding to old topics by new posters on the forums. |

| I stopped replying on question that have been answered several times. I'm sorry... but I try to help on every additional question or new problems. I think using "search" is something every new user should do first.  If Seekers explanation couldn't help yet, feel free to ask more, he or another user will try to help you.

 Thank you for the assistance, but I don't think my issue was understood properly. I wasn't complaining about the downloads dropping the hosts as they near completion; I was pointing out that it wouldn't FINISH the download, no matter how long I wait. I mean, if the program automatically drops off hosts (for what, I have no idea.. is that supposed to be a bug??) as a download nears completion, as you say, it should naturally seek out a new host to download the remaining part of the file to fill up the last 1%, shouldn't it? My problem is that even if it succeeds in finding an active open host (or several of them), it doesn't download anything from it (or from any of the many). (one time, I had waited a couple of days and yet the download was not complete, so I just aborted it) and isn't the fact that it stops certain perfectly fine downloads at 99% point just to look for some other hosts itself a bug, if not (forgive me for the expression.. quite a retarded side of the program? (... but I think it's well deserved, if it was meant to do that) It doesn't happen to all the downloads, but large files tend to do that more often than small files and I just have to know why so I could take alternative ways to download such large files without this problem... |

| > it should naturally seek out a new host to download the > remaining part of the file to fill up the last 1%, shouldn't it? It does. But what happens if no new hosts could be found, this is gnutella... you never know. Wait some more days, if some of your downloads really never finishs and allways stop at 99%, report it as a possible bug. > program automatically drops off hosts (for what, > I have no idea.. is that supposed to be a bug??) Sorry, I won't describe again, it has been well explained (keywords: dropping partial, multihosted parallel downloads). Hope it helps, Moak |

| Well, hi all. First of all Xolox is the best, grrreat work, wow! Have been following these threads for some time now and must say maybe your being a little unfair here Moak. If I search for "dropping partial" the only match is, guess what: this thread... The actual problem as I see it (consider this a preliminary bug report) is that when a part from a 'erronously serving' host is dropped, which happens at 99% (in my case 50% of a 500 MB file, ack!), Xolox dutyfully reconnects to that host and re-downloads exactly that piece of junked-up data again and again and... (10 times is it, before that host is ignored ?) You get to see the point: You simply don't want to download 250 MB of 'junk' 10 times in a row in order to permanently ignore that host, so aborting (thereby sacrificing the other half of the download that checked out OK) is the only viable "solution". Ouch. Also such a critical error message such as "dropping erronously served part" should remain in the message bar, so users like DanninEmX and all the others know what actually happened. Hope THAT helps :-) Love, boo. |

| Use the force, Luke Hi guest! > must say maybe your being a little unfair here Moak. Hmm... sorry. Maybe my problem is that I expect people know how to search. If I'm new to a newsgroup, mailinglist or forum... I read the FAQ first and use the search possibility or Google. So take my excuse, here are the results (you find them and even more when searching for "drop OR part OR downloads"): Losing Partial Downloads http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t+OR+downloads New user queries http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t+OR+downloads Downloads stop at 98% then restart WTF??????? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t+OR+downloads Stuck at 99%? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t+OR+downloads Droping speed at the end of downloads http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t+OR+downloads ... mea culpa, Moak |
