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. |

 FreeTella: An Evolutionary Branch of the Gnutella Tree I have an idea that I have expressed many parts of before. Personally the advancement of gnutella is moving much to slowly for me. Not that I have a right to complain as I am not a programer and thus cannot contribute to actual software development. What I try to do is offer the best ideas I can. I have brought up the idea of a blend of gnutella and freenet many times but would like to try to get some developers together to try to create it and see what it could become. The implementation would consist of the current basic gnutella protocol with a few tweaks. Therefor the easiest thing to do would probably be to take an excellent open source client like gnucleus and modify it. All clients on the network would be required to share some amount of harddisk space for network usage. This space would be used to store encrypted files (or parts of files). The amount of space would probably be at least 100mb but should maybe be more. Users would also be able to share unencrypted files just as they currently do, though this would be optional. Probably users should not be able to download a file bigger than the space they are willing to share with the network. All comunication between clients would be encrypted, including searches. If a client initiates a download it should not know if it was downloading an encrypted file or an unencrypted file. Some percentage of transfers would be proxied (maybe multiple times), thus clients would not be able to be certain of the source of the file (let alone if the source even knew it had the file). Parts of files or whole files could be stored in the encrypted space. In addition the network should allow fot the sharing of partially downloaded files. Therefor the network should base hashing on the TigerTree method. This would also solve the problem of changing hashes due to small file changes as the rest of the unchanged file could be swarmed. The protocol should also be tweaked to allow for better searching power (+, -, " ", ect), superpeers, metadata, distributed network file rating, ect. It would also be great to see this as an explorer plugin so that people could host pages and files on the network and link to them on the web. Since it is a plugin people would have to have it running to use the links to the FreeTella network and they would be giving back at the same time. I think the benefits of such a network should be obvious. Clearly it would be much harder to stop and network resources would be greatly increased. Freeloaders would be eliminated but people would not have to worry about not having any of their own files to share to get on the network (they are sharing resources). Questions and comments are welcome. If anyone is interested in helping get the idea of the ground let me know. It would be great.  |

As to the rest of the message -- why dont you want to call all this "Gnutella Protocol v0.7"? Or may be 0.8? With regard to Free-net like "encripted local storage" I have serious objective: I dont want to store and distribute anything like child porn for example, even if it is encripted. Any ideas how can I not do that in the mentioned p2p net? --Max |

| The question is, why encryption? Do you think that you can share you file in a secure way? NO! The RIAA needs only a client... they try to d/l from you - see which file it is... and they have you! So please tell me why should the devlopers waste their time for this? Morgwen |

| Just as with Freenet, if all of the clients have encrypted files (that they dont even know what they are) they cannot be held responsible for that content. And because of proxies you cannot even say for sure what client certain content came from. |

but you need only a client to see what this file is... how do you choose which file to download? And when the file is downloaded they know exatly the file content and the source! I didn´t test freenet yet! Morgwen Last edited by Morgwen; March 3rd, 2002 at 03:24 PM. |

| The easiest way to do this would require a closed source (or at least partailly closed) client. Basically they client would be able to decript the files but would not permit the decreption of the files stored in the shared/encypted directory. Because the client would be able to decript the files it could do many things, such as creat an encrypted list of files hosted and the meta data. Searches would then be able so proceed as normal but the client would have to look at the encrypted list of files. It is all very possible and very doable but the more I look at the great work going on over at www.freenetproject.org the less use I see in this. Freenet just needs to come up with a method for searching. If you havent looked into it you really should. Its not only the future of file sharing but of the NET! |
