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.

Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7.

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. |

 Unrealistic search, HD is permanently on !!!! I have 3000 files in my upload search directory, by the time one search ends new one begins and my HD is permanently on !!!! To make ver 1.12 usable I had to take the main upload dir off line. Make it search onece a day, or user defined !!  |

 Hmm... your 3000 files should be listed in RAM memory, and searches should be processed without accessing the disk. How much memory does Windows tell its using? Is it paging for some reason? |

 Just for fun. Ok, I went and shared my c:\windows directory and d:\ (Compaq recovery drive) to get my total nuber of shared files up to 3632 (1.45 GB). After the initial scan, I saw almost no hard drive activity. I saw a marked increase in CPU usage (probably due to searching) but not much extra resourse use. Less than 3 MB more than before, which means <1 K of RAM is used per indexed file. If your hard drive is constantly grinding, tere are rwo reasons I can think of that this would be the case: 1) You are downloading one or more very large files (in the hundreds of megs) and they are nearing completion. At the end of a download, the segments that get put together are increasingly large, and copying a few hundred megs takes a while. I'll take this opportunity to echo the request made not long ago for FAT manipulation over filestream copying, it would be MUCH faster, and no extra HDD space would be needed.. though it may be a little harder to figure out and manage without bugs. 2) You have a very fast internet connection, have set your speed settings to 'Max', and someone else with a very fast connection is downloading lots of stuff from you. I dont' have a LAN so I can't be perfectly sure, but when downloading locally between BearShare and XoloX, XoloX would cause a lot more HDD grinding when sending files than BearShare does. (poor/nonexistant pre-buffering for sends?) |

| > FAT manipulation over filestream copying Great idea. Does it work on different filesystems (FAT/NTSC... at least not on remote/network filesystems, but those are for sure used rare for a download directory)? Another idea (only reducing needed filespace) is to split jobs while downloading (let's say 10 MB). So merging all parts together will only eat 10 MB extra space... not the double file size. Few extra logic for downloading and uploading partials is needed then. Also when Xolox joins those smart parts together as soon as it is possible (only adding segments to the first segment as soon as possible), there might be less or no harddisk-heart-attack (grin) when a huge download finishes. (Btw, when I share 3000 files, I nearly have no harddisk access when not downloadin/uploading, it must be Seekers explanation one) PS: Seeker are you programming C++/Delphi/something?

| Nope The only language I know most of the syntax and conventions for is QBASIC. I've dabbled a little with Rapid-Q, which is basically an OO-Basic for Windows language, but I haven't learned to manage windows or network stuff yet, so I can't make my own Gnutella client. If enough people nag me to do it I moght work on it though.  |

| FAT manipulation? Yipe. I understand the principle and why you suggest it but it scares me to trust someone else to manipulate the FAT. Microsoft I have to trust, but a third party? The files only really need to be stitched together when all are complete. That's only a single job. I am prejudiced because I'm running a striped array. The stitching doesn't cause me any great problems. If FAT patching was implemented, I'd want it to be an option I could turn off. |
