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. |

 share anything you feel like sharing, like music and movies, probably leave out anything else. Create a seperate folder to store the files you want to share. Personally I share all the file types that I use limewire to search for.  |

There ARE other considerations involved in the question... 1. - The comment re: "share anything you feel like sharing, like music and movies..." is WAY off the mark as far as 'good' and general advice'... 2. - Without knowing your actuall connection capacities it is not easy to be specific with a reply... There is absolutely no need for you to share what you download ! In fact, there are many many logical reasons to NOT share what you download unless it is relatively rare file ! No matter what you are sharing and no matter how much it may be in 'volume', there are sensible words of advice if... IF... you would like to share the 'special' stuff you may have... Never share ALL that you have unless you have a fairly large upload bandwidth capacity - i.e. a min of '256 up'... Limit 'Upload Queueing' to never more than 4 U/L slots per '128 up' (and with every doubling of Upload bandwidth capacity I would strongly suggest subtracting 1 slot... Meaning that if you have 128 up and allow 4 slots, than with 256 up you should allow 7 slots maximum and with 512 up allow 10 up slots... This is not theory or conjecture on my part... It is the result of years of sharing AND monitoring the 'upload performance'... The big secret is to complete file transfers in the shortest possible time in order to reduce the risks of loss of connection... The only way to share as many of your files as possible in any given period of time is to complete file transfers as quickly as possible... The longer (in 'clock' time) you spend trying to transfer a file, the greater the probability that you are going to lose connections/sources ! The idea that music and video files being used for the bulk of your sharing will somehow benefit you in searching and downloading is fallacious... The original question here was very ambiguous as the point may have been any where from wondering about how to shift as many upload files as possible to the other side of the issue which is the 'legal' bit, hmmm ? In addition to the above is the argument re: bandwidth consumed ('taken away' from D/Ls and U/Ls) that refers to allowing 'Browsing' and the simple number of files to share at any one g¡ven time... If you are using a 56K modem connection you must be extremely careful about the number of files shared and browsing and total transfer slots allowed... I never share more than 500 files at one time... I rotate the groups of files about every two weeks... This process really does increase overall file sources very quickly. Loads more on this subject ! p.s. As mentioned elsewhere, I share only eBooks... A bit under 8GB of them... With a miserly '128' up (More like 104 in this planet reality) I average 1GB up per 24hrs... That is with 4 Upload Slots and 4 Uploads Queued If I alter either the Up Slots or Up Queued Slots the sharing drops... Drops dramatically ! Think about it all... More is never better ! Learn what you can actually achieve with a given bandwidth and use the numbers you find... Totally ignore the absurd default settings that are applied in all the clients... The absurdly inflated configurations have far more to do with 'marketing' than they do with personal performance... Gnutella Network is outrageously slow due to inappropriate configuration settings... And, just because someone may have a large capacity connection does not mean that it makes any sense or is in any way beneficial to the Gnutella community to allow so many slots that they end having a 1MB Upload capacity so stupidly configured to satisfy some 'numbers game' that they end with less allotted bandwidth per transfer than they would have with a single slot up and down using a 56K modem connection... C'mon... How many of you have seen this same thing - How many times ? Any of you folks ever had a transfer complete from someone who had you as 197/199 in their Upload Queue ??????  Woof !

 I'm thinking music files and legal issues here, not bandwith or upload slots. Why do you say "there is absolutely no need to share what you download." And what are the many logical reasons?? I'm currently sharing what is in my 'toons library, about 2000 numbers. Last edited by dobittle; November 20th, 2004 at 02:00 PM. |
