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.

Default continuing download of a file once you find a larger one with same name

It sometimes happens to me that I find a good video but it stops in the middle. Later I find one with exactly the same name but a larger file size.

I thought it would be great if the old file could be automatically detected and the new one appended to it, thus reducing download.

I've used gnotella before and used to manually add my old file in the downloads.txt file to trick it into doing this, but XoloX resumeinfo.txt file is just a bit more tricky, with all the parts and so on... :-)

Thanx,

Björn

Default Hmm...

With movies sometimes a larger file with the same name is not really the same... and with MP3s the feature you are requesting will almost always result in corruption...

\/Disclaimer\/
This is untested.
If it doens't work
Don't complain.
/¯\Disclaimer/¯\

If you want to trick XoloX into resuming , try adding the following to your resumeinfo.txt:


------------
JOB
# <- A job # that isn't in use.
1
blah blah blah <- Search query to find the file, eg: "matrix divx" (no quotes)
x:\path\xolox\downloads\filename.ext <- use exact file name to download
######### <- new (larger) file size
2
00000000 <- CRC (dissabled, so it's 0's)
# <- # of failed segments (set to 0, unless you like seeing a number there)
NONSAVE <- If other downloads have something else here, use that instead.
SEGMENT <- start segment info
1 <- segment 1
x:\Path\XoloX\temp\JOB-Segment#-1.xlx <- # = job number
0 <- denotes start of file
38731181 <- length of already downloaded segment (in bytes) minus 2048
------------

Then just copy/move your partial file to x:\path\XoloX\Temp\JOB-Segment#-1.xlx and start XoloX.

Thumbs up Thanks! That does it

Thank you for explaining the resume-info.txt file to me!
It now does look much less cryptic!

Lightbulb Suggestion for xolox

Add date of last succesfull resuming to the resumeinfo.txt 'JOB' information (see format above, not included yet).

So a tweaking/maintaining tool for never finishing or never starting downloads would become possible. A few months old '0% downloads' waste requery traffic and flood the GUI at the moment.

On larger file, yep--I've seen that. Sometimes it's a completely different file. Sometimes it's exactly what you really want.

On the 2nd part I have to question your conclusion. If you have a partial file and a completed file where the partial file represents a portion of the complete file, you should be able to CRC blocks until failue and then pick up with a "resume" function. It wouldn't have to result in corruption.

This would also be extremely handy in cases where you are downloading a partially downloaded file and then find the complete version. The real trick would be modifing the UI so the user can indicate both files should be the same file and then selecting the filename to be used for the save.
