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.

TalkTalk are known to shape bandwidth...have a look at this thread.
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...light=talktalk

Sorry about the late reply, had a virus prob to get rid of due to a LW co user.
Thank's for the links will keep them in mind,
Further investigation into my prob i found that if i physically disconected my phone line my computer says, connected, speed 10Mbps. but of cause it's not and no home page will be displayed just an error page.
when i am connected and use task manager (Ctrl Alt Del) click onto the networking tab it shows a whopping amount of 9%, thus making me think it could be a modem problem. any more ideas anybody

I did look for info about your modem but I just can't find anything helpful....can you give me a model number, that might help

Do you know if it's a modem or a modem-router? If you have info at home (manual etc) have a look & see. You may have a firewall within your modem & that could be why you're seeing the firewall icon. Just remember though, that even if you can port forward & get rid of the firewall icon, if TalkTalk are shaping it's not going to help your speed much if at all.

One of the threads in that very first link I gave you has info about what hours shaping takes place. Have you tried downloading outside peak times to see if speeds improve?

Upgrade Java to 1.06, i'm not sure what part of the www.java.com site i downloaded it from, but i know i downloaded it form the official Java site, maybe, just maybe, it will improve your downloading speeds.
Try using Shareaza, it uses Gnutella 1, 2 and Edonkey 2000.

my modem-router is R-ADSL-C4-2 with a brand name called Dynamode
since last my post i have changed the way my computer connects from usb2
to a network card, as a result i now have a link speed of 100Mbps with
networking at 0.07%-0.44% and a max of 0.5%.
when downloading my rate is 25kb/s-40kb/s and a max of 60kb/s
even with 11 hosts.
If you can use network manger (Ctrl + Alt +Delete) then click networking tab

Here are instructions for port forwarding your router, (this should be done)
Use this link, dont forget to set up a static IP first.
http://portforward.com/english/route...-C4-2index.htm
P.S..You will still need to speak to talk talk, ask what times they apply P2P
shaping, & avoyed D/L at those times.
Peace.

That's because Windows does not recognize the true speed of the net link (Dial-Up is an exception), no matters if you have a Gygabyte connection, Windows only and always will recognize it as a 100 M/bytes per second, so, the net usage is based upon that.
