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. |

 Zeroshadow, What client are you using to do the tests? I ask because I know some seem to "seek out there own kind" on the g-net (cough*bearshare*cough). Whether this is intentional or by an accident of protocol may be an open question, but the end result is they cluster together which can easily skew any results. After all, in order download, you must first search, and your more likely to get results from nearby peers. A better test would be for some of the centrally located reflectors to monitor the traffic. Most search results do now include extra client info with them. This being said, I'd still fully expect BearShare to be in the lead simply because of how much it's promoted. Still, as anyone who's looked at the top 40 recently could tell you, popularity != quality. Anyone remember how long it took to get people to stop using the original Gnutella even though it was completely abandoned and even hurting the network? It takes a great deal of time and effort to change the public mindshare. Actually I'm suddenly seeing a lot of SwapNut myself. Anyone know where their site is?  |

 ever heared of XoloX ? i had limeshare beartella and gnowire they all worked so and so then i went to the donkey2000 and loved it and its speed and multiple segmented downloads. after a while i came across xolox and exept for some randomly crashes (what can be ctrl alt & del shut down and then without problem restarted) it is the fastest and best of all gnutella clients. it connects in seconds nothing to do if you work behind zonealarm it configures automaticaly finds things much faster and the downloadspeed with dsl is awsome. check it out, you will love it costa  |

| SwapNut is at www.swapnut.com. SwapNut now has a forum here on Gnutellaforums.com as well. Most comments I have seen say that downloads through SwapNut have been highly successful compared to many other programs. What percentage of traffic are you seeing coming from SwapNut now? They were the 9th most downloaded file last week on Download.com, ahead of all other Gnutella apps, including BearShare and LimeWire, the two leaders as the poll shows. |

| SwapNut seems to actually *BE* LimeWire - my guess is they just bought rights to use LW's code. As such I don't see how it could be very much better. In fact, one thing I really don't like is it asks for your name and email the first time you run it! No privacy policy to speak of either - so beware! |

| Both do look amazingly alike. Swapnut however connects you to Swapnut users where the other programs connect you to all gnutella applications. Since Swapnut forces its users to share files, I think that is where the previous post about being able to download better comes in. That and the fact that it acts like Kazaa by shrinking to the system tray instead of closing all the way down, keeping peoples PC's connected to the network so others can download more. My 2 cents. You can't turn off uploads either, so your shared folder files are shared whether you want to or not. |
