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.

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. |

 Most UPloads going 'complete' before 100% As explained in 'BearShare Lite killing' about ten hours ago, most of my music UPloads reach 50 to 98% before the dreaded 'complete' pops up. For those UPloading from me, it must be infuriating, and quite a few keep trying to get to 100% complete...one person tried to UPload same song 23 times over an entire day and could NOT get past 94%, while a few got 100% on first attempt. With my slow upload of 14KB's per sec have limited slots to two or three in past months. A few minutes ago limited UPload slot to ONE, to see if that helps. This is thwarting my attempt to share a great music collection for at least 60 hours a week, much of which came from downloading songs from fellow LWire users. Have already spent hours reading about proper settings in Forum and believe they are correct...however, maybe have missed something crucial! Some advice please. caseybob  |

 It sounds like your setup is good. The uploaded files that are complete but aren't at 100% just means they got the rest of the file from someone else. Most of the time when you d/load a file, you get it from more than one host and that's what's happening there. The percentage shown is just the percent of the file they got from you. I have my upload bandwidth set so I give about 5KB/s per upload slot. So having two slots open sounds about right. If you make it too high, you'll have a lot of people queued but the uploads will be too slow. Not sure what to do about bearshare lite. I imagine they are sharing files too. So blocking their ip addresses might not be a good idea.

 Reply to 6pac Your reply answered most of my questions in both posts, and many thanks. Knew that members contribute parts to one upload, so should have figured that 'complete' at less than 100% was not a problem that bugged me for weeks. Only small question remaining; why is Bear Share getting a lot more 100% (i.e.- all from me) than most LW users? If you know or have good guess, let me know. caseybob "The Journey is the Destination" |

| To 6_pac and others about 'complete' at under 100% Despite my earlier thanks reply, over last few days thought it strange that if your explanation ABOVE is true, WHY would most UPloaders showing 'complete' at less than 100%, STILL keep trying to get the same song??? Logically, they have NOT received the rest of it from other LW users, or I would not see repeated attempts from same ISP to get to 'complete' at 100% (many are stuck at 70 to 98% and it wastes everybody's time & bandwidth). Thanks for your help in the past and hope you or other experienced members can come up with an answer & hopefully, a cure. Best regards, caseybob |

| 1. Make sure you don't see a brick wall icon at bottom of your LW. If you do that means there's something causing a firewall effect making it difficult for people to upload from you. 2. Make sure the files are properly described. If mp3's, then make sure they have plenty of id3 tag information. Else, add good description via your LW Library window. Select the file(s) & press Describe button. That helps them be found in searches. Searches can link to description words too.  You will need to Refreshen after doing this. Once you do this, you will notice your files will receive more Hits from other people's searches.Personally I have about a 90-95 KB/s upload. I give 4 slots because I like to see them upload at reasonable speeds. I do tend to get people queueing though, but I'm sure they could appreciate the wait for the spot with a reasonable upload speed. |

 Reply to QckSilver about firewall Hi QS: As I mentioned in caps in private message, you HAVE to include COMPLETE details about your system, especially with stuff like a firewall problem. Otherwise, more experienced members than myself cannot provide suggestions about how to get rid of solid red brick wall in lower left-hand corner, which is likely your entire problem. This doesn't cancel my advice about Library share configuration. Even if I had your system details, must leave to senior members to figure out firewall problem once you have posted the DETAILS. Regards, caseybob |
