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.

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. |

 Idiosyncrasies of LW 4.10.9 Beta part 1 Does anybody notice anything odd about the search results with files supposedly already downlded? True I had already downlded about 3 versions. But not all those listed. This is very deceiving to suggest I'd already downlded ones I hadn't downlded. There's a reasonable variation in size of some of these. |

| Part 1b And from the downld perspective, the image below shows what sort of issues arise. There seems to be a lack of grouping ... much less than there used to be. I was forced to rename the files to downld them (putting a no. in their name such as xxx2.ext) Despite being the same file, LW sees them as being different. Identical name & size. Previously LW would group those even if they did have a variation in name as the sample below should be. (The sample file below is a file I've been searching for for 12 mths. And finally I was able to find some with some odd searches. But they were unreliable to downld with varying speeds between 1-20 KB/s. Becoming busy host frequently, etc. until they went offline. And then finding others. This has all happened over the past 24-36 hrs in this example. I browsed most. They were definitely different ip's, though funnily I was sometimes able to find another directly after I totally lost a previous connection.)

| Part 2 Speed readings Speed readings in LW seem to be all over the place. Whilst I don't always suffer speed discrepencies like the example here, they do happen. I've noticed other people greatly concerned about this. Such as showing upload bandwidth use when they're not uploading. In the example, keep your eyes on both the downld speeds & the total downld speed specified at the bottom (also no. of downlds!) Also, there's an example of when I had my uploads set to 4.97 KB/s & it was showing 8 KB/s. My total capacity btw is 27 KB/s downlds & 64 kbps uploads. Sorry about the many examples (13) but just to show incorrect readings in all aspects of overall & specific. All are arranged in chronological order covering a 16 minute period although I left out a couple of samples after 40 mins. The last example was from a day or 2 earlier. (btw in the example I gave above, I accidentally left one of the same files out of the example which started with a different letter.) |

| I forgot to mention, I'm using OSX 10.4.5 & Java 1.5 I also noticed on a no. of occasions, there were no buttons for Apply, OK, & Cancel for LW preferences. All I could do was close the window by clicking the red cross in the top left corner, after which a blank window would appear with a Yes button.  |

| I didn't realise the new Beta 4.10.11 had been released a few days ago. But checking the Features History, I don't see any of the above issues addressed so they most likely still apply. What's more, using LW 4.10.11 I notice the search results seem the same in regards to the file I was downlding. |

| These issues have occured in my normal account. I can try running in another account again to see if the same issue applies. Actually I just deleted the program folder some mins ago so I'll have to reinstall it. I can delete the LW prefs also. Is there any file within the prefs folder the junk filter findings are kept? I'd prefer to keep it rather than re-go thru the process of filtering again. (it must be the hot weather here) I've found search results seem to be improved with 4.11.0 or perhaps it's just the time. |

| Hi Lord You might want to give NetStat Live a try and see what your bandwidth usage really is. You can get it at the link below. http://www.analogx.com/contents/down...etwork/nsl.htm

| @ Sberlin I have also noticed these bugs too. I was tempted to post them but If figured it was just my local install of Java 1.5.0_05 |

| Something else I've noticed is that with both LW 4.10.9 & 4.11.0 that if I select a file to downld but there's not enough slots from that host, it then goes to 'busy hosts'. That's normal! BUT ... when a slot opens up, the file continually & continually attempts to connect but can't. If I cancel it & reselect to downld when I know that host has an available upload slot, then it does immediately start downlding. (eg: today I knew this host I was downlding a live album from has 3 upload slots. So I waited around for each one to finish before adding more to downld. Otherwise the problem described would occur.) I noticed this much earlier but didn't report about it until I had confirmed this was a bug. It's happened too many times from different hosts now. |
