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.

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. |

Anyways it isn't a unproven technology, it's a very actively developed project and has live working network which is very impressive. Also the i2p-gnutella network has been growing nicely, so far at least 22 users have tried it, though the actual number of currently active peers is unknown (mostly due to some issues with the current version, which are going to be resolved in the next release). Let me point out the i2p doesn't hide ip addresses at all, it doesn't try to do what is impossible. Instead it makes them no longer much of a issue, as all anyone can prove is that you are running a i2p node, not what any one specific node is transferring, nor which node belongs to any one specific member. Basically i2p has many perfectly legal uses (far more than any filesharing solution) and is more of a general networking privacy solution than a filesharing one. So yeah the ip addresses are known, but so what in this case it just doesn't matter. Unless where you happen to live, they make it illegal to run i2p (only place in the world I can think of would be china). Anyways the great thing about i2p is it'd be really hard to justify outlawing at least in countries like America. The primary reason I struck back was because of the incorrect statements and assumptions that were being made. Nobody bothered to visit the project's website and read about what they were making judgements about. Finally let me say I never claimed i2p hid ones ip address and I'm not sure why that was assumed.  |

Fast transfer depends on connection speed for a start. Someone using dial up is not about to transfer 2 MB in 2 mins. But someone using any Gnutella client can transfer directly to someone else even much much faster if they have the appropriate connection speeds & settings. It'll be interesting to see how the i2p project goes. |

Oh and from a dialup point of view regular gnutella, gnutella2, edonkey2000 and even kazaa are not too bad when it comes to sources and speeds. However on a broadband connection such networks and clients are too poor and limited. Which is why bittorrent is so popular. Anyways i2p's coming along nicely as far as I can tell and unlike other networking applications it doesn't hog the connection and interfere with other activity like webrowsing (for example a poorly configured shareaza client will seriously fudge up webrowsing). The initial udp networking tests produced greater than expected results and hopefully will be ready for use by most/all of the network, which means i2p will scale much better. |

| spunkyone9r So basically what you are telling us is if you have dialup it cannot be used. Which BTW I believe more users are dialup than broadband at the present. It's a novel idea idea, but I for one will wait, because I don't believe it is all you have made it out to be. I still don't see a direct link which has been asked for, nor do I see you registering as a member. So why I should I believe anything you have posted is true. |

You can use those but it will be ******* slow. Everything is ******* slow with such a connection. All you can do with that is leech, so forget about Bittorrent. Quote:
also suggest to get them data to backup your claims. Dialup vs. broadband is comparing apples with oranges. Nowadays dialup is usually nothing but ADSL with bandwidths from 128kbps to 8Mbps. Those who still use 56kbps crap cannot use filesharing properly at all anyways. Quote:

 Bet you're a racist also huh! And talking about living in trees, a well educated person will know that any references they make should be properly defined & accurately given with direct links. eg: quote a statement from a book then you should supply the book & page no. details, etc. To reiterate, asking for a direct link was & is not such a big deal!   |

| As far as I can tell there is no direct link to i2phex's website, mostly because it's hosted on i2p and cannot be accessed like a normal website. Though there is a inproxy for i2p and from there you should be able to reach i2phex's website. A direct link to i2p's website was provided, if that helps any. Really it helps to read through the forums which links were posted here. |

The developer does not really want too many people to use i2p until version 1.0, this the website contains some discouragements. Anyone that knows the software knows better, of course not many people do. Put it this way if your looking to host/share kiddie pr0n, forget it. However for general filesharing it's security is more than good enough already. Let's face it there isn't much software out there that can provide a safe enviroment to share kiddie pr0n, though freenet is reported to be filled with it. So does it yet provide protection from governmental organizations, no. However other types of private/public organizations are no match. They certainly cannot prove enough to take anyone to court as they have a 1 in x chance of being correct, x being = to the size of the network. Over time as the network grows the x factor will become greater and thus the changes they are correct become more remote. Without reasonable certainty x being close to or equal to 1 they cannot legally justify taking anyone to court. Currently the x factor is around 200 or more, within the next few months the x factor will hopefully grow to 10,000 or more. Plus there are plenty of perfectly legal uses for i2p. Actually running i2p is legally no different from just connecting to the internet, though it is much safer. |

2nd.... I have not seen jack s hit about EXACTLY how one is supposed to connect with another computer, via the internet, without using an address... The subject is changed as peripheral issues are mentioned... Issues that have absolutely nothing to do with 'anonymous' computer to computer connections via the internet. We have been here before... It was all crap before and it's the same today... These Gnutellaforums are awash with other posts trying to promote the same nonsense... Suggest that all read all the rest of the garbage on this same subject... Anonymity on the internet is not real... It is a con... A chimera... A large dose of BS... Crap... Enjoy p2p, Relax...
