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.

Question Monitor uploads questions

I have been perusing my Monitor>Uploads screen in hopes of better understanding what my file requests do. I have a couple of questions, even though I read any files I could find on them.

Same host asking for the same file multiple times, queues according to the number of upload slots I allow per person.
Ok... how are they asking for multiple slots for the same file, how are they getting them, is this only for LimeWirePro users and are they trying to get faster downloads? Does this have any bearing on what I have read about LW automatically banning users? (how long does this ban last and what does the ban do?) I often see "upload limit reached" and I guess I thought that perhaps they had been interrupted the number of times I 'allow upload slot per person". Does that have any bearing on it?

It kinda annoys me to see the same person trying to monopolize all my slots for a popular, hard to find file and this is the first time I had seen it. Does the number of files one person can ask for from one source also have bearing on this... per day or forever?

I am so confused! I really did read everything I could find about this first, but it just didn't let me truly understand it!

Thanks in advance for the good advice I know I will receive!

AFAIK, a given user can only occupy one slot for a given file. Whenever I see the same users IP for the same file multiple times, only one listing is currently uploading. Pro users can connect to more ultrapeers, so they may get better results with more hosts, but they can't download a given file faster that has only one host.

Not sure what you're referring to...

Correct

AFAIK, the only limit that exists is how many files they can download from you at one time. There are no 'per day' or 'lifetime' limits.

Good Luck

[QUOTE=muhctekdano]AFAIK, a given user can only occupy one slot for a given file. Whenever I see the same users IP for the same file multiple times, only one listing is currently uploading. Pro users can connect to more ultrapeers, so they may get better results with more hosts, but they can't download a given file faster that has only one host.
I actually had, at this particular time, the same IP queued for the same file 7 times, all active, so for the heck of it, I changed my max. # to 3 or 4 and immediately it cut down to that same number of active queues. Soon thereafter the same IP popped up for the same file again, but with "upload limit reached", which is what I see often after I see the same IP getting transfers interrupted. I had never seen so many queues with the same IP for same file before, though I have seen upload limit reached many times.

The reason I am trying to figure all this out is so I can see why I am having such a hard time getting a couple of files. That is also why I asked if these upload limits reached pertains to a 24 hour period or forever or WHAT! Plus, I tend to get a little overzealous about figuring things out!

Actually, I have seen IPs, after transfers interrupted the number of slots per person I allow, getting the upload limit reached message, even though they either havent gotten any of the file or the whole file yet. I am wondering if this is part of my problem in completing some of my downloads.


Thanks for your help, so much, Muhctekdano!

Would love to hear any other views about this, too. Thanks

Hi man do you have your (automaticly clear completed uploads) unticked ?
Cos this will make some transfer interupteds,not able to re connect and continue.
If you tick the box in Tools/options/uploads/basic, just tick the box and watch your UP's, you will see as a file becomes (transfer interupted) it will
go from your screen instantly, then it will re connect the same file at the same point of the upload. When the box is unticked,some people will just
start another download, Hence you have several requests from same user
I no what your gonna say, (I like to no whats being uploaded)AND ME.
If you want to no whats uploaded, just go to Library an click on upload bar
two times, completed UP's will be listed 00/00 Left of slash, completed,right
side of slash,attempted UP's. Only untick box if your sitting watching moniter
then you can respond imediatly if a transfer becomes interupted,and (clear
inactive) Is that any help my friend. you sound like a Virgo to me
Peace.
