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. 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 have similar results with several of the popular clients... (Limewire, Bearshare, Xolox, Shareaza) I think this issue is more the state of health of the Gnutella network than a problem with Limewire or any single client - other than possibly Morpheus.  |

I agree. This program is dying. Is it do to less people sharing files or what? |

| fewer downloads I disagree - despite the influx of non limewire ultrapeers (especially morpheus - which admitedly don't offer as much as LW) I'm getting as much if not more than ever - in fact, I've been able to progressively cull my files of 128kb versions and replace them with much higher bit rate versions. Sure the network is sometimes a bit unstable but it always has been and always will be, its just the nature of p2p systems. |

| I'm receiving less search results indeed and I believe it's something to do with Morpheus Ultrapeers not being grouped together like LimeWire ultrapeers were. (there ratio of ultrapeer connections : 0.6 connections is something like 1:1 instead of 2:1) The latest cvs code tries to cope with it by glueing LimeWire ultrapeers together more closely (not agressively enough if you ask me). I think it would be even more important to make the leaf nodes prefer LimeWire ultrapeers for optimal performance. I've been playing around with preferring LimeWire ultrapeers recently and I believe it might be benificial, - especially if LimeWire will use GGEP pongs (and other new features) which other ultrapeers might not necessarily understand. |

| Agreed, in general the number of search results has gone down over the last couple of months. On a positive note, though, I have noticed recently that I'm getting some results on music files that I wasn't getting before. The influx of ex-AG users, perhaps? |

 Bad Vlad, where the hell are you finding music? The selection on Limewre is pathetic for anything besides mainstream drivel. When I do find something of interEst, I can get only 1-5 out of 100 requests. Is it me, or does the Limewire/Gnutella network suck? I really miss Audio Galaxy. I can only find a fraction of what was on there. While I share my large collection, it seems no one else is, AS I TYPICALLY HAVE 10% OF ALL AVAILABLE FILES!!!!! and I really am getting frustrated at the lack of songs that successfully download. Out of 50 ***** songs I found, I was only able to download 4. Why do they show up, if we can't download them? Why can't Limewire fix this to show only the files that are online, so we don't have to waste out friggin time requesting the same songs that never download?????

| 70% OF GNUTELLA USERS DON'T UPLOAD Well, I guess I found out why the selecton here sucks. With my files making up normally 10% of what is connected in the statistics, I am beyond frustrated at not only the lack of files, but the lack of the few files that I find, few if any download at all. What are we suppose to do now??? Why should I stay & make this better, if there is nothing to make better? Where are other post Audio Galaxy users going to find the music they can't find on Limewire/Gnutella??? Here is the info: http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/is...dar/index.html ---------------------- An extensive analysis of user traffic on Gnutella shows a significant amount of free riding in the system. By sampling messages on the Gnutella network over a 24-hour period, we established that almost 70% of Gnutella users share no files, and nearly 50% of all responses are returned by the top 1% of sharing hosts. Furthermore, we found out that free riding is distributed evenly between domains, so that no one group contributes significantly more than others, and that peers that volunteer to share files are not necessarily those who have desirable ones. We argue that free riding leads to degradation of the system performance and adds vulnerability to the system. If this trend continues copyright issues might become moot compared to the possible collapse of such systems. |
