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.

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. |

 Outdated nodes Hello friends, first I may introduce myself: I'm an old Gnutella user, sharing a lot of jazz-music over this fine p2p-network a few years ago. After a longer pause I tried now to return in this great community, but I noticed, that all my stored node addresses do not work anymore. In need some newer ones, to restart my sharing activities. Im using the giFT software, running Linux. I'm really happy if someone can help me, Thanks!  |

| Summary advice: use another 'proper' gnutella client that is up to date with present gnutella network protocol & technologies. PHEX would be my first suggestion. Coincidentally whilst searching giFT on these forums, I came across someone else who used giFT & they discovered Phex to be a far superior program; becoming their favorite gnutella program. (And that post was a few years ago.) giFT is a little outdated too. Development on it stopped at least 3 years ago AFAIK. Not to mention it is not considered a proper gnutella client; it is simply a plug-in. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...5458-gift.html <- et voilà tested most gnutella clients he came across & knew what he was talking about with their behaviour & effect on the network. giFT was based on older gnutella technology & didn't behave well compared to other gnutella clients after updates in gnutella protocol. (btw after reading comments & changes made with the giFT gnutella plug-in to be spamming search & retry messages every few seconds .. I would not be surprised if many of the present gnutella clients/ultrapeers auto-banned them due to their aggressive & nagging behaviour. Depends on version however.) A possibility is you take connection caches from other gnutella clients & compare them to the "gwebcaches" file you have. See which is in same format. Then save the file as a basic plain text file with no formatting, removing the .txt file extension. Name as gwebcaches. Make sure you are using giFT 0.11.8.1 at least. (Apparently one of the 0.11.7 versions was accidentally lacking half the libraries & would not connect to the gnutella network.) This is what I found on a devs forum: Quote:
 Another thought is Shareaza uses the giFT plug-in for gnutella.  You could possibly use a shareaza connection cache. There are various gnutella client caches spread around the forum, just need to find them. lol  One possibility is to install the "Official" Shareaza 2.4 version (versions higher than v.3 are fake), then use that cache or adapt it I mean. Unless anybody else out there has any ideas? Last edited by Lord of the Rings; July 1st, 2009 at 05:36 PM. |

| Phex is good! Thanks a lot for that prompt and helpfull answer. I'm glad to be back to the Gnutella world with Phex. Looks fine, and has connected immediatly with 7 nodes - almost all telling they are running Lime Wire. That seems to be the matchwinner today. Hm, I admit that giFT is outdated, and was perhaps never a genuine Gnutella client. First I used gtk-nutella. But the I turned to giFT because it was so cool in his minimalism and with the ncurses interface unbeatable fast on my oldtime compaq machine. But OK, they have gone... Will see now what's happen out there actually with my quite slow, but new java-Phex. My first impression is not the best, I must say. There are terrible many spammers... May be, the real world is to evil for such good things like p2p. Nikha |

| The most recent Phex versions seem to connect to mostly LimeWire (LW) ultrapeers. The previous versions would connect to many other phex & other gnutella clients. I queried why this was happening. The downside of connecting to LW UP's is many will be connected directly with spammers & some UPs themselves are spammers meaning always a chance you are connecting directly to a spammer ultrapeer. I've used Phex for a few years, found I could find files LW was unable to via finding more non-LW users. Just opened my Phex, only connected to one other Phex ultrapeer, 4 LW UP's initially. Finding more UP's the longer it's open. If you have any queries about Phex, feel free to post in the Phex section on these forums. The Phex devs are more than happy to answer directly in most cases. Also, there's a link somewhere which will take you to the most recent builds of Phex, not the officially released one. Last edited by Lord of the Rings; July 2nd, 2009 at 08:34 PM. |
