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. |

 I've never used Bearflix. To my understanding, Bearflix is what Bearshare became after it was sold to MusicLab under blackmailing pressure from the RIAA. The same company (Musiclab) hijacked ShareAza more than once. Musiclab now owns a hijacked version of Shareaza. Musiclab took over Shareaza's original website, the original creators had to find a new site. The story is partially explained here Shareaza • View topic - The Story: Shareaza, iMesh, RIAA, and Recent Events I'm not sure how Bearflix compares with the BearShare 6 & 7, unless it's simply renamed. As I suggested, you can try the BearShare 5 beta which was equivalent to the BS 5 Pro of the time if you wish. Might also be interested to see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/344799-post7.html about changing connection cache.  |

| The advantage of using the old bearshare 5 Beta? Access to many more files, ability to download from all the gnutella clients like LimeWire, FrostWire, Phex, ShareAza (old version only), Gnucleus, Morpheus, Gtk-Gnutella, BearShare, etc.  Here's the service options window you will see in the BS 5 Beta version:  . |

| Works fine, thanks, he can connect to others, but it looks like he doesn't get enough peers. currently i got 10 Peers and 34 "Leafs", whatever this is, the tooltip on the led tells me, that he likes to get 26 Peers and 50 leafs. Some questions: Why does he need so many peers? (with 10 i get good results) Why does he never get 26 peers? (10 was my all time maximum and if I delete the connected peers he connect to others but again only to 10 others) What the hell is a Leaf and why do he tries to get 50? (yesterday i had none of them) why does the leefs have a lock in the List and the peers not? Why is the word Leaf sometimes written in green and sometimes in black? |

| Bearshare can run with only being connected to 2 ultrapeers. So do not panic it cannot find the full possibility of 26 when run in ultrapeer mode. Before you connected as an ultrapeer (a peer), you were connecting as a Leaf to an ultrapeer. Leafs need ultrapeers to connect to the network. So connecting as an ultrapeer helps the network. How many depends on what is needed by the network at the time. However the longer you stay connected the better for the network when connecting as an ultrapeer. Some ultrapeers you are connected to will be marked differently if they are other BearShare ultrapeers as compared to Limewire/frostwire, etc. View Hosts window. Right-click the heading bar & choose to show more options. You can show things like version & origin, etc. You will notice all BearShare hosts will be displayed in green. Will probably also have a lock icon. In example below. Shows example from Windows XP, connected to 16 peers (ultrapeers). And also Windows 2000, connected to 25 (16 peers, 9 leafs). (IP addresses edited out in accordance with the forum privacy rules.) It's a large image but have squashed it up as much as possible. |

| Working now. It is working fine, thanksBut Why is it working? I can enable the Force Ultrapeer setting and connect to others. If I disable it, I get the same IP's in the Host Tab, but now they are all "Full" and not interested anymore.A Year ago when I last used the Programm it just worked fine. Can it be that there are not enough UltraPeers in the Internet?PS: I also changed the Signature, but I can still not found any Links to any commercial Sites on my Page... |

| Good question. I am able to connect ok not running as an ultrapeer. Hit and miss maybe. I could not answer that question. It might be related to BS's method of seeking ultrapeers. Perhaps if you connect with forced UP mode, you could maybe then undo that setting if you didn't wish to remain as an ultrapeer. However running as a UP should also give you great results. And thank you about the sig. |

BTW, has the BearShare code never leaked into public? I wonder because if it had, there should be somehow an open source replacement for the original client, but as I've never seen such a thing... mfg, Old
