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.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

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.

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.

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.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. 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.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. 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.

Unhappy IT DOES CONNECT BUT I CAN'T DOWNLOAD - Please I beg for your help!!

I have been searching over and over through threads for a solution to my problem and I see many people have it happening the same but no one gets an answer.

MY PROBLEM IS that I do connect to the Internet and all... but when I make a search and find the song I want to download, hitting the DOWNLOAD BUTTON doesn't do anything! It doesnt start downloading the song at all. I dont get any error message and I see ALL GREEN bars complete, which means Limewire it is connected. How do I fix this problem? Please help me!

Info about my computer:
- Running Windows XP SP2
- Windows Firewall active (but allowing Limewire to work)
- Zone Alarm active (but allowing Limewire to work)
- ADSL connection of 520 Kb and my ISP has a proxy to connect to the net. If I disable it, I can't surf. It works with Port 80.

That's all I know...

Well I did a little searching for a salution to your problem but like you I was unable to find one. I have seen this problem reported reciently but I do not know of a way to fix it. Sorry by the way you should give what version of limewire 4.9.11 you are using they change quite rapidly some times and java version.

In your Windows firewall settings, Make sure you have enabled both TCP and UDP settings using port 6346

I had the same problem, tried all the firewall stuff, and nothing. So I deleted Limewire. I would love to use it if there is a fix.

I just saw (reread) your post. You say you have both windows and zonealarm firewalls as "ACTIVE". Software firewalls when ran in combination can cause a conflict. If you have your ZoneAlarm as an "ACTIVE" firewall, make the windows firewall "INACTIVE". This will not cause a security issue. Try it and let me know. Also be sure you have LimeWire Pro or Basic installed (from the LimeWire website of course) version 4.9.11. LimeWire uses Port 6346. Make sure you have this port enabled.
