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.

Thanks filegirl_71, it's much appreciated. Will action that.

In the meantime, and don't know if this helps any of the helpful members here to give help on this, but here goes - if going to any of the Ultrapeers and browsing host, I can download any of their files, very fast, BUT, when trying to download files in the usual way, through the ordinary search function and then when you get a list of results, to try to download one of them, for many, many files, (have tried about 70 so far), from different hosts and none of them download, all I get is waiting for sources (so many seconds left), then awaiting sources!!!!! It's a turbo-charged connection and the brick wall is still in front of the globe.

Any help much appreciated.

Most likely it's just a stroke of bad luck and otherwise spam results.

To become an UltraPeer you need at least a decent connection and also need a way through the firewall i.e. accepting incoming connections. This isn't needed to just share files. So if you are firewalled and the user whose search result you pick is also firewalled, then you will in many cases have at least a bit of trouble connecting, no matter what Limewire in the past has claimed.

If you can download fast from the Ultrapeers it at least completely eliminates any suspicions in regards to your ISP doing any trotling or blocking to your connection.

Thanks Sleepless, it's appreciated. If you were me, (working with Frostwire), how would you attempt to solve it please ?

@ filegirl_17, bearing in mind my post above, is it still worth downloading and installing the file you mentioned in your pm please ?

I'm sure Filegirl is much better equipped to help with this as I don't use Gnutella clients much.

But your No. 1 issue is most definitely that brick wall and/or possibly some sort of protection software/firewall.

Yes because you use Win XP with SP2 if i did not remember it wrong...Win XP SP2 has limit only 10 half open connections, and i allways have troubble with get firewalled if i did not use the TCIP patcher which will increase half open connections from 10 to 256...But it can also be your router or modem if you have it...

Personally I use process of elimination i.e. uninstall every security related tool and just make sure you have Windows Firewall on. Then uninstall Frostwire and Java. Then run CCleaner and clean everything, make sure you backup registry when it asks. then install only the newest java and frostwire and work from there. If the brick wall is gone, then slowly add the security software back, if not, then make sure Windows Firewall allows Frostwire. If it does then your router and/or FrostWire setup is to blame and that's what needs to be concentrated on.
