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. |

 Ok, I don't want any flame wars. Peace. I have been doing exactly that for some days. No offense, but I really know where to find help when I need. I did everything you said, long ago. Used all these host caches. Configured min and max connections. Tried "Remove" and "Reset" a million times. Connections are still unstable. Few results, no matter what. Wait a few minutes? Maybe 2 hours, if I am lucky. I was not running version 2.2.7 - it was version 2.3.0. I really mean it: everybody I know, every single person I know that used to love Bearshare now hates it. Everybody stopped using it. I still won't give up. I am going to try for some time yet. I am stubborn. Friends of mine simply unistalled it. I see people all around complaining. Thank you for your help. I really did all that, many times. I kept trying today for 3 whole hours. No reliable hosts, no relevant results. I didn't foung anything, not one single song I was looking for. Every song I wanted I found in WinMX or AudioGalaxy, and at the same time nothing was showing up in Bearshare. Peace. I don't want a flame war. You are having good results with it? You are the only person I know until now that managed to use it with good results. Either you are lucky or you are lying.   |

 Morgwen. I am not the only one, I am sorry to tell you. I am really *****d off with it. I am the kind of user that installed a new motherboard, new sound card, new video card, and configured Windows without reinstalling it and it all worked perfectly. I gave support to hardware vendors many times, helped people configure their software. Friends call me to help them solve their problems with their computers. I am not bragging about it. I am telling you the truth: I am almost giving up. I can use all other Gnutella software with better results in my searches. I really loved Bearshare, I told everybody I know to use it. I won't bother you with it anymore. I really appreciate the time you took to answer, but either there is something really beyond my control happening here, or I am getting crazy. Everything works perfectly, including Linux versions of Gnutella software. Bearshare won't work like before. What is happening? I really don't know. Bad luck? I know I am not the only one with all these problems. Things should really be simpler: you start the software, it connects, you do a search, you get a result and download. It was simple before, just that way. Now you have to do it all by hand, and it still won't work. I got so upset about it that I had to tell somebody about my experiences with it. A kind of teraphy, I believe. |

| Almost no-one realizes that the family filter drastically decreases the amount of search results you are going to receive. Hell, most don't even realize there is a family filter. Turn it off, see what happens. It's not the only reason why search results are fewer, but it's one of the major reasons. |

 2.3.0 does have problems Many people have posted (on various forums) and hundreds have read about connection problems with 2.3.0 I found that I had to delete the contents of my Bearshare folder (excluding the TEMP and DOWNLOAD folder) before reinstalling 2.3.0. It helped me bit, though connections are still sporadic and horizons are still poor. I have often had horizons stuck on 1 for long periods of time before the connection is lost. Other connections are cancelled immediately for no apparent reason (no, they weren't duplicates.) I won't pretend to know what's going on, but I assure you I had much better luck connecting with 2.2.7 |
