Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

 No it does not matter how many files you share it will make no difference in your search results or DL speed. What it does do though is make it easier and faster for others to get the files. The more sources the greater the availability for sources and bandwidth. The files on the Gnutella net are not stored on server computers they are saved and shared from individual's computers like your's and mine. Unlike milkman6453 who just takes and does not return. He is what is know as a (LEACH)he takes but gives nothing in return.   And he is a pretty ballsy leach who wants other to help him and if they don't he gets pissy about it. As far as I am concerned and probably most of the people that share are concerned on the Gnutella net he can try and figure it out for himself.  Good Luck

  Certainly from my & many others experience we have found sharing actually helps. Being connected to other people who are connected to different peers who themselves are connected to more peers & ultrapeers, actually helps obtain better results. As you are aware a person's search only reaches a % of the entire network. But by being indirectly connected to others improves searches or accessibility to other files. I find that if I share a particlar type of file, then I find it much easier to find similar ones compared to if I wasn't sharing that type of file. I've known other experienced users who have had the same experience.milkman6453 cars don't really need steering wheels. You can just push them toward the direction you want .. perhaps lean on one side to give it that directional push. But some people actually enjoy having steering wheels in their cars. Before shortcuts were introduced, those buttons are all that we had. Some people be it youngsters from 10 years old or 90 years old like to use the buttons. You're free to design your own version of LW without those buttons for your own personal use.  |

| If everyone who used Gnutella network did not share like milkman6453 then there'd be no files to download from the network. lol It would be a big ZERO!!! |

| Thanks for correcting me there LOTR  I have never ran LimeWire (or any other P2P app) without sharing and made an assumption from what others have said in the past. What you said does make sense. Its good to know there are so consequences to being a LEACH
