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.

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.

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. |

 How do I restart downloads? I am new to Phex, but not to other Gnutella clients. Phex 3.4.2.116 seems to connect wonderfully fast (WinXP SP3, dialup modem) and Quick Download (from "Search") works fine. But if I shut down Phex and restart it, or if I get knocked off the internet with an incoming call, the downloads all say "Waiting" in the status column of "Downloads" and never restart, even if I leave Phex running overnight.  |

| Also when a phone call knocks you off you might be running into a bug we didn't yet manage to track down (I'm searching it's source for years, now). Sometimes Phex doesn't start any new download connections. You can make that less pressing by increasing the amount of connections it may use for downloads (options->downloads). I regularly use 99 overall and 66 per download. Should all downloads stall anyway, the way I found was to shut down Phex and start it again. It's not nice, but it works. If you want to avoid the restart (only Phex, not your computer), you can try to stop the downloads and start them again. For restarting downloads after a restarting Phex, the tipps from Peerless are the right ones. Additionally you can just click the search button on the download pane (after selecting the download). One reason why some hosts disappear is that some are behind push-proxies (necessary to get through firewalls), and when you restart phex these push-proxies are no longer valid. In that case only searching for new sources can work.

| Sigh, BearShare handled pushes much better and automatically found new sources if the proxies changed. It also labeled pushes so one knew this was happening, and showed if it could accept incoming connections so pushes would work at all. I would use it except now it either takes hours to connect to any ultrapeers, or does not connect at all, despite any of the tweaks and list downloads I have tried. Now, shutting down Phex does not restart any downloads for me, in fact, this permanently stops all ongoing downloads. One would think that some pushes would work again with the same proxy if interrupted for a minute or less. Just stopping the download makes it never start again, as well. If a file does not download all in one go, it is a goner, the way I am experiencing things. I don't see any indication that Phex even tries to start any download from the "Waiting" state, ever. All I can do is start the download over from the beginning after deleting it. When I see the same host for the file after searching for it again I begin to wonder why it can't just try the same host again without searching. I have only sucessfully downloaded one small .jpg as a test with Phex. This does not bode well. |

| Do you know what Bearshare did? As far as I remember they used automatic searches - a feature Phex introduced to Gnutella which was called harmful (too many searches), so we had to disable it. Bearshare kept it, though. If you see in the list of candidates for the download "Push request...", then the host is being contacted via its push-proxies. When it takes hours to connect, chances are, that either you didn't forward the ports / open them in the firewall, or that your host list is critically outdated. Does Phex show a little wall at the lower left corner of the window? Also could you look at the download candidates? What do they say? If they say "push connection broken", you can remove them and search again. If all of them also say "waiting" after a restart, something is fishy... in that case, please tell us, too, so we can try to fix it! -> I also just submitted a wish for push proxy list merging: SourceForge.net: Phex - P2P Gnutella filesharing program: Detail: 2864041 - Push-Proxies for hosts should be updated with query results
