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.

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 Moak! Look what I have found... Erst seine Sachen runterladen (dabei keine Uploads erlauben damit es zunächst schneller geht), translation: first get your stuff (do not allow uploads to get them faster) He? Sorry Moak its the same thing only an other way! Yes, you have to share your files but for modem users its better to share or to download! If there are clients that support modems in such a way you suggested, we can think about no modem freeloaders... Morgwen |

| Grrr... Morgwen ... read the whole sentence, don't take one part out of the documents context!!! The quoted sentence continues, it says": let Bearshare run at least the same time as you suck files". Meanwhile I wouldn't recommend "downloading only for short time" for Bearshare modem users. While people do it actually *sigh*, they abuse it too often. Xolox is better here, it does not allow missuse. * But please feel free to translate the whole document. Yeah, would be awesome dude! *grin* Morgwen, you're a fast poster! Cya, Moak  * = Xolox is better in that particular case, BUT it needs many bugfixes in the current version. Hope the programmers find time*******ial support soon. |

| Hi Moak! For the last time... I don´t think that all modem users should only download - but I think the best for a modem is only sharing or downloading, a modem user can also disconnect from gnet when he is sharing (a Mp3 takes between 30 - 90 minutes, without disconnecting), so the upload is also faster... later he can connect to gnet again! I am lucky with my download/upload ratio 1 to 4! (TDSL) With a modem my ratio was 30 to 1... I was trying to share...  So I think every user should think abut it... Freeloading is a crime...  So if you free load, let the others free load, too! Full bandwidth in both ways... This is called sharing Moak! Morgwen |

I really hope that future gnutella clients do not allow the type of "friendly freeloading" you describe. The problem is that this sounds good, but it is not... because the most freeloaders are not as friendly as you describe. Be honest, modem users act more like this: go online, quick suck your stuff, go offline and forget about anonymous gnutella, time is money. I try to give you a short overview of my idea for a possible future gnutella client. Before I start let me say, I have NOTHING against free loading, freeloaders are NOT evil, blocking freeloaders is stupid! Sharing means giving, if you can give more than others, just do it, you make some souls happy. The goals for a future client might be: more available files for modem AND high bandwith users, stop freeloading by making modem users a valuable part of the network. A short overview: Servants are split up into super peers (hosts with DSL or high speed connection) and normal peers (modem users), AFAIK fasttrack uses this network topology allready. The normal peers do NOT connect to many other peers (to reduce gnutella backbone traffic for them, less or no traffic routing), but the super peers do (they are used as a kind of gnutella reflector, caching search results etc). All servants - even modem users - do spread often requested files all over the gnutella network: swarming of very small parts (e.g. 100 KB). So when all modem users would share only 5% of their bandwith for uploading swarming parts, there would be a huge amount of extra bandwith = faster download for all, nearly no cost for modem users, necessity for freeloading eliminated. While modem users are idle or wait for downloads, they can automatically share with full bandwith. Okay this is theory and all clients have to provide parallel downloads from multiple hosts (as Xolox does). I really don't want you to 'force' to think like I do... sorry for defending my point of view so much. I wanna show that I understand freeloading - yes it's human - but it is harming all of us. Oki, thx for reading this endless discussion, Moaky Moak Last edited by Moak; October 21st, 2001 at 07:08 PM. |

The Idea is very good... you should post this in our german forum, too! But actually my way is the better one (i think so)... All unfriedly freeloaders must know - you are killing the gnet... so free load "only" friendly (as I suggested), until we have more clients like xolox (hate to write this, I am a bearsharer, but bearshare doesn´t support multiple downloads )cu, Morgwen |
