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.

oddy is flying high
Default "Need More Sources" constantly

Well, I'm have a problem. Whenever i try to download a song, at the bottom where it shows the % done, it instead comes up with "Need More Sources". Now i have tried right clicking it and hitting "find more sources", but that doesn't work either. It also says "Awaiting Sources". This ahppens with every single song i try to download. I don't know if it a connection problem, a firewall problem or something else. If anybody has any insight on what to do to fix this please help me. I haven't downloaded a song in forever. I have tried to Uninstall it then reinstall it but that doesn't work either. I reallly dont know what the problem is but if anyone may now how to fix this please tell me i really need some help. Thank You.

right-click on the search tab and use "repeat search" to find more sources. Should work better than "find more sources"

If all that shows up is junk, change your search terms, and every once in a while delete all the 0KB files in your incomplete folder to start fresh.

Let's test your setup:

First, search for a file that is legal to share, like Alfie_Zappacosta_Start_Again.mp3

Use an All Type search, and type in "Zappacosta Again .mp3"

How many results do you get?

Default need, more sources

(after i've pulled down 6-12 songs i want) i check for slow or no go songs (awaiting) (need more). right click on them, search for more of the same song. as soon as you find a faster speed, cancel original, then download new version. on mine if i don't cancel first one it locks up. you have to clean up your incomplete library after. i have had three or four versions before i find a fast one. luck.

Try downloading files with more host. If you look in the toolbar in the search window you will see the # sign, look for files that have at least 5 host. Also I am not 100% sure how much this will affect you but there is an option to block non-sharing people from downloading your files. If you are not sharing any files maybe you are being blocked from downloading certain peoples files.

Unhappy Freeloaders s@#$

i already know, my freeloader settings don't work. no whine just fact. i do hope they can fix THAT problem. it's too bad you can't "LINK" someone a conscience. ( webster's new dictionary) "a sense of right and wrong with an urge to do right". but then again aren't we all (sharing)? hmmm.


don't download a sharing program if you don't want to share!!

You have a valid point. I am not sure if my freeloader settings work either but I often manually weed out freeloaders on large files like movies or programs. Hopefully they fix that and a few other problems soon but they are working hard. I don't know if having a conscious helps because I'm a pretty rotten person and I'm sharing 7,000 + files lol.

Yah we all have that b$#ch button (guys as well). i'm also sharing about 7000. i was told elsewhere in this forum that that's really too many. i will be paring mine down somewhat. too bad there isn't a way to know what people are downloading from you so you could leave it available. when you have 1000's of songs (or even 100's) it's hard to look at each one to see. i know when i'm connected, they don't stop till i disconnect. i would think everyone would be HAPPY, that someone actually wants what they have to share. cause if they ain't downloading from you, you ain't got nothin' they want.
