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 connection problems after queued

I recently installed PHEX3.2 after a full uninstall of PHEX3.0.

All seems to work great with one exception. Downloads seem to work fine until I get "Queued" by the host. After waiting 60 seconds for my turn in the Que Phex tries to connect and then says "connection failed". This seems to happen with every host that places me in the Que. I can download from the host all day long until I get "Queued". Then I get connection failures every time from that host.

I included a screen capture of the network data that ultimately resulted in the "connection failed" response. I also included a partial video capture (AVI) to illustrate the problem. To save time...jump to the beginning of each attempted download.

Note that all downloads in the video are from the same host however the problem continues regardless of hosts.
ix
Looking for a solution.

BTW...in this example I first "Browsed Host" to obtain all files from a single host and configured to download only 1 file at a time to illustrate the problem.

Thanks
Dave

Default Follow-up to above post

Just a quick followup to my post above.

I reinstalled Phex 3.0. Configured it the same as above, and browsed the same host as before.

All downloads worked and "queued" properly. (Although its a very slow host with lots of traffic).

In addition....when I previously browsed the host with Phex 3.2 It only returned 90 files. I knew the host had approx 400 files but every time I browsed it returned exactly 90. When I browsed other hosts with 3.2 I would get some files but the GUI on the left would also say "connection error"

When I returnd to Phex 3.0...the browse worked properly returning 421 files.

Im not sure if this is a bug, or just something on my end.
Thanks

I found something regarding the host browsing. Once a file with blocked URN (malware) is in the browsing result the connection gets aborted.
I changed this in SVN to just skip the bad file.

I had no problems with queuing though...
To help debug this better try to add the following line to your phexCorePrefs.properties:

Download.CandidateLogBufferSize = 1000000

This gives about 1MB of extra memory for holding a candidate download log. You will see a Log button on the candidate toolbar. Pressing it shows the log of the candidate. The log shows the exchanged dialog and also includes status changes and errors. This log might give us an idea where and why something could go wrong.

I tried using my Phex 3.2 again and had the same problem as posted above. Here is that log that you suggested Gregor.

I would get put in the "Que", the download would start when it was my turn, and then I would get a "connection failed" message each time.

Thanks for the log. Unfortunately I'm still not very sure where this problem comes from.
Arne had the same problem a while ago and there is a bug entry of it already:
SourceForge.net: Detail: 1802488 - Download from a Phex breaks repeatedly

I added some more debugging in SVN (in case you are using it) and hope to find the origin of the problem soon.

Gregor

@SINIK: Since Phex has no option to download torrents, you seem to be using LimeWire. Please post in the LimeWire Forums.
