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.

Hi Folks!

A fine program so far and I think with a little combined effort of all users (and dvelopers :-)) it will get even better.

So I am looking at other programs and there are some small and easy-to-implement features wich I am missing. Would be nice to find them in future releases.

- periodical (and/or user-initiated) rescan (reindexing?) of the shared files. The only way I have found until now is to restart the program or to change some share settings. This is nice when changing the directory contents p.ex. over the network.

- resuming aborted files. At the moment the only way I know is to search again and if you have luck to find it...

- upload log entries wich stay after the upload finished (a status "completed"/"aborted"/... would be fine). These could be cleared with a similar flag like for the downloads. Maybe I'm wrong with this (I will check config) and it's already there but for the moment it seems to be not.

Some thoughts for the moment. Any comments or arguments about/against?

Have Fun!

Shared files are currently rescaned every 10 or 15 minutes (I'd have to go looking for the thread, but I just woke up, so I'm not going to)

There is bo need to resume aboted files, simply pause them instead.

An upload log may be nice, but not one that resides in memory. The program is designed so that a large number of files may be shared, and running out of memory whilst keeping a record of the status of every finished or aborted upload would be bad. If this is done, create a log file on the disk and append to it.

There is need to be able to resume aborted files. It happened already twice that when I tried to pause some files (about 10) I clicked accidentially on "abort" instead of "pause" on one of them. Well, 600MB gone, but after that I had to search the file again wich at this moment was not availible (was not found). When I would be able to resume (restart) aborted downloads the mess wouldn't be that big when (accidentially) transfers are aborted.

Another reason for aborting instead of pausing would be if your disk space gets low. Using pause will not make it better. When you abort some files (of minor importance) you will get space to finish some others. But then at the moment you have the "trouble" finding them.

i don't think you need a resume-tool for aborted files. if you don't find it via a search, xolox may not find soemone to download it anyway.

i'm missing a possibility, to scan the shard directory of someone who downloads from my place. because if this one's somebody with a rather fast connection, i might be finding something else to download in reverse from his files, with the same speed, i hope.

and please, set the speed settings to max by default. nobody finds the 'max' by himself, unless he's lookin here in the threads.

greetings trycksy

To help on that accidentally cancelling when wanting to pause you could add a menu separator to the context popup in the transfer section.

If you want REM, do a search for: REM_

(See the underscore, it's a trick to allow searches with less than 4 characters. But it's not very efficient to do so, you get too many hits. Never search for something like e.g. AVI, it generates way too much sensless hits and therefor hurts the gnutella network. In your particular case better search for an album name or song title.)

What I'd like to see on this excellent prog is the filename preserved in the Xolox\Temp directory, instead of "JOB-Segment207-591.xlx". I'd like to be able to identify the file segments that are there if I need some extra HD space. Thanks.

so, kick the little guy to the back of the Q as long as the the big guys get what they want without others cluttering things up. i dont think that the 'sharing' ethos is best served by anyone with this attitude. otherwise all we would be able to find is top ten chart stuff. what about people who are looking for more obscure music or software and are also willing to share obscure material. it may be weeks before anyone d/ls does that mean they are not entitled to their rightful place in the Q and should be shunted to the back by kylie, westlife and robbie fans?
