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.

Cool Just want faster downloads...

The Newbie.

Check'n this whole scene out recently.

Found DIVX about three years ago, I love movies and I travel alot...wasn't totally impressed at first. Lately I have gained an interest and an appreciation for the P2P world. So I download a freeware here and a freeware there. Takes forever on T1 to get anything so I pay for the "Pro versions" (no issues...happy to pay my share) and I still see hands down no difference in them. So I look for more P2P players and try them...no difference.

For a 700MB file it takes at least 3 days...no sh*t. Is this typical? I deal with Tarabytes on a daily basis with High Definition NLE, so 700MB is nothing. You are asking yourselves...why would someone in the High Definition Video world be interested in some shagged up camcorder job of a new release....it's fun and interesting I guess. Still....why can't the download be quicker?Not enough players in the game? Too many on & offers in the suburbs? Or is there a P2P out there that is better than all the others?

I am usually at a hotel with a T1 line or at work with a T1 line...neither place should know what I am up to anyways, but I am thinking there is an issue with a firewall or something. I think I have done all of the "quick fixes" that Mr. LeeWare has offered
but as he loves to point out, I might not have been paying close enough attention.

Peace out.

Yowser .. if you're handling terabytes per day (2TB/day = ~24MB/second) you'd need in excess of 1500 people with humble user broadband sharing the same file out to saturate your pipe. Chances are that unless you're downloading extremely popular content you'll get perhaps a quarter share of two or three broadband pipes.

Frustrating yes, but we can all be thankful that once you've downloaded a file the reverse holds .. you'll be serving the file up at 'full speed' to a thousand regular broadband users at once. Hang in there, the rest of te Internet will catch up with you in ten years time. Until then, keep on sharing

LeeWare is a great assister to others; your light through the dark tunnel
Post You want speed

If you want speed you have to download from someone that has the capacity to serve the data as fast as you can pull it. It's the same situation on ANY p2p network. Shareaza has the same problem with slow downloads. Any file sharing network that claims it's faster than any other one is making that claim on what basis?

Because they are all dependent on the users for creating the networks foundation.

I have the capacity to serve a max of 120 users simultaneously. When I reach that point the throughput per users is around
12-16Kbps. I usually serve about 12-20 users simultaneously 77.2Kbps per user.

Therefore the amount of bandwidth allocated is proportional to the number of users being served.

It has nothing to do with LimeWire

Talking faster downloads

I have been having great success lately...at times 105KB/s to 145KB/s! For the most part I still have an average of 10KB/s to 23KB/s but that's still acceptable for me. It is still very unfortunate that so many users drop so often, but, what can ya do. I also found that by configuring my RWIN to match my current connection settings, I had much better success. Also, if I hung in there during the"waiting in line" most users kill the download "patience is a virtue!" and walla....65KB/s and up!

I have been busy in the past few days trying out all of the availble P2P software and I have to admit that I enjoy Limewire the best for its ease of use and consistent success rate. I guess it all comes down to what cup do you like to drink from...You have to be diligent in your searches and be patient.

Advice for others wanting faster downloads...read the forums! It will come eventually. I've learned more about P2P from forums and chat than any other source.

Granted...we aren't doing HD resolution downloads but...we are not far either. This has been fun & I look forward to more...

Peace
