Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Default Xolox

I decided to search the forums for info on Xolox since I couldn't find it on the web. Since everyone says to find a newer client, I think I'll pass on checking it out. I was just curious as to why so many people liked it. Too bad it's not an option any more.

Hey, Iamnacho, thanks for the offer to e-mail the version you have, but I'll move on to something newer.

the only way for you to know why everyone liked it so much is to try it out! It is still my choice of a gnutella client when i use gnutella but anyway i hope you find one you like

because some programs are not supported anymore like gnotella and xolox. you should think of that
There is still many people using those clients. Sadly I'm not included among them any more, using PEERanha right now and other non-gnutella p2p programs.

Perhaps you should choose a client which is similar to it and make some suggestions!

Morgwen

Hi, Morgwen... Sorry if you are not happy with Shareaza being added late to the list....
Please remove it if you do not like it being included.

Morgwen,
I Wish someone could let me know what is similar to Gnotella. So far, I've tested out Bearshare, Limewire, Gnucleus and to my many are similar to Gnotella, however none have all of the features of Gnotella and the ease of use which Gnotella has. Does anyone know where Shaun Sidwall, the developer of Gnotella, went to? I'd be interesed to find out where he went. From the features, Gnucleus comes close and I have made suggestions, only time can tell. One of the things I would like to see is the ability to control the amount of times another Gnutella client is able to ping you for your file. I have found that Gnuecleus has a nasty habbit of trying to ping you every 10 seconds by some users. (I think this is putting a load on the network which is unecessary) Every 60 seconds should be fine for the all of us.

Patience is a virtue and is well received.
My thoughts,
Bob.

I like the interface and features of limewire alot (2.3.3 or later versions) but it's slow as dirt, probably because it's in java. Are any of the other clients close to it?

I agree completely. I miss Gnotella a lot. I haven't uninstalled it yet though.

Why is there any reason to stop using a client just because it's "discontinued"?

We gnotella users, haven't abandoned gnotella yet... Still using it and until something better appears, will continue to use it.
