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.

we do not need 'swarmed downloads', do you understand the word swarmed? Gnutella developers are researching ways to avoid/reduce broadcast traffic (which is the number one cause of the network being so slow at the moment). Broadcast traffic takes up ~50% of your bandwidth which means that other half is divided up for downloading and uploading. Xolox or whatever is hurting the gnutella network, Vinnie even said so himself.

http://www.bearshare.net/forum/showt...?threadid=4872

it produces "machine generated queries: which wastes bandwidth b/c those queries are not efficent in matching enough files other hosts have.

Xolox is bad for the network. Load up LimeWire and look in the Monitor window and look how many

Band - Song 01.mp3 type of queries you get. How many people are going to have that file in that exact filename. They may of named it a little different so that query just wasted bandwidth. It would me efficent to such just for that song name or band name and filter the results with a set of rules.

Default YES, WE DO NEED SWARMED DOWNLOADS!!!

We DO need swarmed downloads. Just with better implementation. If the GDF could get its act together an implement file hashing we could really get things moving. They need to just make a move and get it done! Same goes for meta data.

Limewire should also introduce some type of reflector technology (defender). This would help lower badwith as well.

I just wanted to point out, that AFAIK Xolox doesn't search for the whole filename (these searches have been around long time before Xolox), but it "just" repeats the original search. That's just the way I did it manually with LimeWire before, since that's the only way to find enough hosts with the file I'm looking for.

Look you must get rid of unwanted broadcast traffic first then they can focus on download succession rate.

Why dont you stop [inapropriate language deleted] about something that is for free. If you want to do it so bad then you make a gnutella client and release it. There are a lot gnutella client sources out there.

router.limewire.com is a "reflector". Reflectors are made for high bandwidth hosts (cable/dsl, T1s, etc).

I am [inapropriate language deleted] about the GDF which is slowing implementation of much needed features. Even if I wrote a gnutella client with these features it would not be supported by the general network until the GDF got its act together.


Hmm, someone else correct me if I am wrong but router.limewire.com is a host catch isnt it, not a reflector. A reflector is a gnutella client users can connect to the gnutella network through. They would stay connected and all searches would be sent to the network through the reflector client and all of their available uploads would be listed on the reflector and the reflector would return their hits for them so that they do not actually interact directly with the network.

And yes, we still need swarmed downloads!! JUst look at the popularity of xolox and it is still very unpolished and brand new.

GDF, get the file hashes, the metadata and the swarmed downloads worked out.

Ok, BearShare now offers bitrates for MP3s. Will LW be supporting this in 1.8? How about other meta data? SHA1 file hashes?
