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.

erm well i manage to solve it as it is due to nvidia firewall so i download its uility and shut it off. And the wall disappear.

But the funny thing is when i use LW(totally exit & enter) with secure tunnel software(start first), the wall is there after it connected but when switch to NO PROXY and re-connect(LW no exit) the wall disappeared.

So i just dis-connected LW again and change setting back with proxy then re-connect(no exit for LW), the wall never re-appeared.

Why is that so?

The only thing I use proxy for is the school network and I had to have someone configure it for me. You could probably teach me more about proxys' then I can teach you

erm well the reason i use proxy is because i want to play safe and i want to have my IP address masked when downloading.

In fact i use tunneling software rather than those free proxies as it hard to find a good one. i got two tunneling software that is http-tunnel and secure tunnel and i use it with limewire and morpheus to test how well they work and
limewire work very well secure tunnel software whereas morphues dont seem working with either of them....still trying to configure to make it work. i am trying to configure if http tunnel work well with limewire or not.

Btw if i am using limewire(free version) one, does it have a limit downloading/uploading speed?

As with proxy or no proxy my speed is around 5kbs/s to 20kbs/s.

You should post links to those programs. Someone might find them interesting to try

There is no limit

My max is 250 down/60 up and I have got 225 before on a single file

With several files have been maxed out (BTW that totally f*cks up limewire. Speeds start fluxuating)

wow your connection speed is so good so even you downloading a audio
also give you that speed?

as the speed i provide before is based on audio downloading, i have not tried video or any application yet.

btw one doubts if limewire free version got no speed limit then y paid for a pro version one?

isnt that limewire pro version should have higher speed than basic one?

as i am thinking to upgrade to pro version or not as i just purchase morpheus ultra. So are you using basic or pro version to have your mentioned speed above?

below are the links for tunneling software

Only audio gets that speed. This is not always of course. Depends on uploadspeed of the hosts that you connect to

TY for posting the links

Might have a look when I have a bit of free time

Basic connects to 8 hosts and pro to 10

Let's say these hosts all have 20 KB/s up available then you get 160 KB/s with basic and 200 KB/s with pro

I use pro, but have got speeds like that with basic. As I said it all depends on the hosts that you are downloading from at the any given time
