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.

One of the changes I forgot to mention because this is not a priority, is to include the security blocklists install option & connection file during the WireShare installation process. This would remove the concept of separate installers for these options. As it is, the Security blocklists I included with the LPE installers has 5 options: 1. None 2. Strong 3. Strong-basic Japanese blocklist. 4. Light 5. Light-basic Japanese blocklist. All these 5 options also included the installation of the connection file & basic settings files. The basic settings files include preset answers to installation questions such as system startup, anonymous reports sent to LW, bug reports, word filters, etc. The gnutella file I provide for installation or connection problems is considerably large.

LOTR,

Below is a link to my current installer of WireShare. I am new to using 4shared but I believe only premium member can use direct download links. This was complied using Ant and the 1.7_51 JDK. It also installs the strong version of your hostiles.txt and a gnutella.net files. We can add the ability to choose the different security levels to the installer in the future. Let know when you are ready to play and I will zip up what I have and send you a link and yes my knowledge of OS's other that Windows is very limited.

That's excellent BigJx.
I was suffering same issue until I logged into my 4Shared account, then the download became the WS zip download. I was forgetting 4Shared is a member's only direct download site & I needed to be logged in.

Just one thing, for the hostiles file to work, there needs to be a text line in the props file that tells the program where to find the hostiles. So the previous mentioned security installer installs a props file with basic information including that line. (The security updater on other hand inserts the necessary line of text into the person's existing props file in case it does not already exist.) Hope that doesn't sound complex. I could forward you the necessary files when I return from this trip. I won't install WS just yet as this is not my computer lol. But I've got a copy of it now.

I thought the following code located in components\gnutella-core\src\main\java\com\limegroup\gnutella\filters\ IPFilter.java loaded the hostiles.txt automatically if the file exits.

Code:
 
 /** Constructs an IPFilter that automatically loads the content. */
 @Inject
 public LocalIPFilter(@Named("hostileFilter") IPFilter hostileNetworkFilter, 
 @Named("backgroundExecutor") ScheduledExecutorService ipLoader) {
 this.hostileNetworkFilter = hostileNetworkFilter;
 this.ipLoader = ipLoader;
 
 File hostiles = new File(CommonUtils.getUserSettingsDir(), "hostiles.txt");
 shouldLoadHostiles = hostiles.exists();
 
 refreshHosts();
 }

Maybe I've been wrong. The hostiles was supposed to work for both LW 4 & 5, but in my testing did not appear to work. Doing full Japanese blocks was my way of verifying this. This includes both the BearShare format & the other format I use. I guess one way to verify this is to check if any Japanese hosts are connected to, either in connections or uploads/downloads or search results. LW only seemed to read the hostiles with the addition of the line I mentioned earlier, which can be found here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/limewi...o-basic-4.html ie: PATH_TO_BLACK_LISTED_IP_ADDRESSES= ... which was a hit/miss guess adjusted concept I took from the LW portable, but seemed to work for LW on all platforms.
Testing will show one way or the other work.

BTW using the hostiles with LW4 resulted in no connections at all (or attempted connections in connection window.) The program just seemed to freeze almost, whether using LW on Mac or Windows. Using the above line fixed that issue.

I just tested this by adding a full Japanese block hostiles.txt and reconnecting a few time and it did not connect to any Japanese hosts. Then I removed the file and repeated the test and got a few .jp (220.x.x.x) hosts.

Default WireShare 5.6.4 update released

WireShare 5.6.4 update has been released. Details of changes coming.

For MacOSX users, you can now run WireShare with Java 7 or later, but Java 6 is still supported & is the default if both java versions are installed. Both JDK & JRE java versions are supported.

For those of you who do not know, WireShare (officially released 2014) is an updated version of LimeWire Pirate Edition [abbreviated LPE] (released late 2010). WireShare contains both bug fixes and improvements compared to the original LPE release. And more improvements are on the way.


Edit: Fixed the MacOSX installer for when installing a Dock icon which would make it hang & not finish the last portion of installation, although WireShare was installed. This error has existed for at least a month. It was a simple installer renaming issue.

For anybody who downloaded the earlier 5.6.3.1 installer prior to today, copy the installer to your computer and rename the installer to WireShare installer. It would have been good if someone had reported this issue rather than eventually finding out myself.
