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.

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. |

 can't complete large downloads or uploads I spent about 16 hours straight trying to download a couple large video files (380 to 600 megs). 95% of the time I couldn't start a download because the server was busy or I got a message "unavailable to download. When I started a download I usually got about 2-6% before it stopped and I couldn't resume. The most I ever got was 46% once. The biggest upload was about 15% of an 80 meg file and the monitor log would say error. I am on a cable connection. I successfully downloaded a smaller file (10 megs). What can I do to hook up on downloads more often and successfully download large files? I also want others to be able to upload large files from me.  |

| The biggest problem is... large files take a really long time for people to upload to others... most people are capped at about 15kb/s on cable and dsl connections. Meaning you can download at 250 kb/s but you can only upload at 15kb/s. This is what causes the problem.... Assume you have someone serving movies...and the movie is 600Mb and he only allows 2 people to d/l at a time...and he is capped at 15kb/s. so it takes one person 600mb x 1024kb/mb = 614400Kb 614400Kb / (15kb/s / 2 users) = 81920 seconds 81920 sec / 60sec/min = 1366 minutes 1366min / 60min/hr = 22 hours. So it means that it takes 22 hours before those slots will open again... that's why it takes so long... and it exactly the reason i stopped sharing my movies... I want people to get my movies but it's ridiculous to try this without 1) a reliable resume function (I mean one with 100% reliability) 2) higher bandwidth. All I got was people getting partial movies from me... they got the first 100MB and then a data collision, or something and the connection was dropped.... |

| the best alternative I've found: Streamload... 1 problem with it though... it costs $$$ it's $7.95/month for 3GB/month of d/l But after you sign up you can go to various movie trading places and people will beam you movies and then you d/l them from your account. Beaming is instant (or close to) beaming is just the transfering of links to someones account. You see streamload holds a central server of media files, and I can upload any media file to them. Then after I've put it on their server I can send links to anyone I want to. So there is only 1 copy of the file but lots of links to it. Then you d/l the movie from your account. The nice thing is streamload allows multiple logins during d/l meaning if you use DAP or flashget you can max out your connection... so a 600mb movie takes 1.5hours instead of 22hours. But like I said it comes with the small problem of paying every month. If you wanna sign up I'll beam you a bunch of movies (~150 of them), just e-mail me with the account name you sign up with: milhouse_ph@hotmail.com I'll also let you in on the sites that allow trading. |

 I'm getting lots of large files of Limewire. Several <300mb files, etc. If I'm lucky, I get it at 200 k/sec, if I'm partially lucky 40 k/sec, if I'm unlucky, 10 or so (bellow that, I don't bother). If you're into irc script you could get large files off of I_Are_See (slow), or, without searching, but still enourmous selections, the news groups (Agent or Newsbin). The great thing about the news groups is that they are only one hop, so, I average 300-to-400 k/sec with peak speeds of up to 1,200 k/sec. Nothing (nothing) on the internet can give me that...
