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.

Setting your connection speed to 'modem' will also affect your download speed. Setting it faster should not cause any problems with your computer unless you download a lot of files simultaneously.

You also might want to check whether or not you are firewalled. If you have a router you can configure it to forward ports 6346-6350 so you can accept incoming connections, increasing both the number of files you find and the download speed.

trap_jaw, I think they mean that they are having problems with the files they are downloading being corrupted in some way...

That's a whole other subject, right ?

Many possible reasons for that - Some of the reasons can be 'fixed' and some cannot...

Need to know more...

i seem to always download atleast 6 to 10 at a time so that could be the problem but it never was a problem on my other computer. But i will try that firewall thing and see if that will help. Thank you two for your time and help.

I wouldn't advise you to upgrade Real Player. I'm still using v8 (last one before Real One) and it works fine.

As trap_jaw said, Winamp is a great player, but if you are only looking for an mp3 player, I'd go with v2.91, not 5.

Do a search with, your p2p client, for

Winamp 2.95 Full Suite+ Pro..... .zip
(About 9.2MB)

or

Winamp 2.91 Full Suite+ Pro..... .zip

or

Winamp 2.81 Full Suite+ Pro..... .zip


All three versions are out there and normally will appear in a search for ... winamp

The 2.95 is the LAST 'small' (i.e. brilliant) Winamp version.
It also includes all of the 'Video' goodies and is very stable.
ALL the critical initial Set-Ups are already done.
The only plug-ins included, and there are many, are all tested and proven to be stable... On many different Windozer OSs.
Installation is much easier as you simply unzip to d:\Program Files\ Nothing else needed other than a preliminary read of the included "Plug-Ins Settings" html file.

There is also a stable version of the G-Force visualisation.
The settings are highly 'tweaked' and the result is certainly one of the best vis displays out there now...

In regards to audio quality... In & Out... There is little to choose between the 2.95 and the 2.91 versions... 2.91 is basically just without the Video stuff... There are a few 'improvements' in 2.95 that address certain stability issues, but... There isn't much in it between them.

I would suggest getting both the 2.95 and the 2.91.

The so-called Winamp 2.95 version available from many sites is in fact a non-released beta... Same with 2.92... Nothing realy 'wrong' with them... There were more business type issues involved which stopped their release...

But, the 'plain' versions are simply the 'full' installers...

They are NOT the same as the 'Winamp 2.xx Full Suite+' versions

(Which partly explains why the Full Suite versions are 8.5MB and bigger !)

Also, the 'Full Suite+' versions are only available in the "Gnutella Net fed" p2p networks... Not on any site. They are also becoming more available on DC hubs.

One comment on these FS+ versions... If you do D/L and install one of them, don't move the components around to new 'positions' on your screen... Well, not immediately... All 'windows/modules' are very carefully arranged so that all pages can be accessed no matter what other pages may also be open... You can 'see' all the pages you choose to have open, always... Nothing is totally hidden by another screen.
In other words, give the first layout a chance before you decide to alter anything. (This does not apply to the Dee2 plug-in which needs to be re-located once, after the first launch.
(Dee2 with very special Pre-Sets... No Dee3 because it's rubbish !
Don't know what happened with that one ?)

The FS+ versions are quite different in comparison to the versions available on the sites...
They are also much easier to install and use - At least for those who are not crazy enough to have worked to get a 'phd' in How To Do What You Want To Do With Winamp... AND expect it to work !
