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.

Wellllllllllllllll, not true in 100% of the cases. There are some files out there that you get at 0Kbit/s that are actually downloading, even if it's going to take 256 days to complete.


Code:
sh-2.05b$ ls /media/Incomplete/ | grep Oz
Dark Side of Oz.mpg
Is an example
Hello!

Yes it is true that it is not entirely true in 100% of the cases but this bug that you are mentioning I have only encountered abot twice. So it is a very small problem compared to the cheaters out there. I actually once just for the fun of it let a 0KB/s download stay in my download area for 5 days and the file was just 345KB in size and yeat it took it 5 days to download. Incredible how slow that one must have downloaded lets see:

5 days=120 hours

120H*3600=432000 seconds

345KB/432000= 0.000798KB/sec

My bandwidth is certainly not being taken up by others in my building. Doing a speed test just now shows it at 1.9 Megabits per second. Still, no movement with my downloads.

I trying to download Lady Marmelade but the same thing is happening. Its been going for about two minutes now but still 0 B/sec. Says there are 18 sources.

When I started trying to use Shareaza, I set the 'port' option under settings > connection to 'random' in hopes that this would make a difference. Didn't seem to make any difference at all but now I don't know what number to put it back to. Should it be on random? Anyway, let me know if you know of any other way to get my downloads to work. Thanks.

P.S.- it isn't a proxy or firewall problem where NOTHING can be downloaded because every once in a while I will get a few kbs to download. I actually managed to complete one dowload that was about 2MB.

Hello!

So we can conclude it is not a bandwidth problem!.

So what can it be then?

Lets see!!!


What version of Shareaza are you using?

My advice would be to use the latest version of LimeWire.

You say that you have set Shareaza to random select ports to listen to.

My advice would be to select a steady port. Either port 6346, 6347 or 6355 which are standard ports used on Gnutella.

If you are using a Firewall either a software one or a hardware one(NAT router) you must then select those ports above to be open and allowed for communication both uppstream and downstream.

Lets perform this test:

Mail me at netfox100@hotmail.com

In the mail give me your current IP address and a name of a file that you are sharing.

I will then try to download that file from you and see what kind of speeds I am getting and then report back to you.

figured it out... apparently through my AT&T cable connection I can't accept incoming connections on port 4662. this is what is stopping me from downloading. i guess sometimes (very seldom) i can connect through port 80 and download a little bit but not enough to get anything accomplished. fasttrack clients like kazaa lite let me set my port to 80 and i can download very well that way so i guess i'll just have to give up on the gnutella clients.

i wasn't able to find any information on this on at&t's support pages. anyone know of anything i can do? any other at&t users out there that know which port i should use?

6346 is pretty much the standard Gnutella port, although you can use whatever you want.

Sounds like you might want to set up port forwarding on your router.

Hello!

By changing to port 6346, 6347 or 6355 and then configure your FireWall or Router to allow communications over those ports you will probably be able to use Gnutella whitout a problem if your ISP allow it.

However you could be unlucky and your ISP may block Gnutella traffic. But the fact that you are able to connect at all and search for stuff and occassionally download at slow speeds indicates that your ISP may be using a packet analysing tool such as Packet Hound from Palisade Systems which will slow downloads to a crawl to conserve bandwidth from your ISP's point of view and also after a certain amount of time even cut the download off completely after it had found out it was Gnutella traffic. Read more about it here:

Also to seek for further troubleshooting techniques regarding the inability to download and Shareaza read this complete thread:
