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.

Hmm I really don't understand your post. Are you trying to download stuff with imewire or download Limewire.

Please give us some clear details of your equipment, disc space available on your computer etc. and exactly what is happening.

EVERYONE PLEASE PAY ATTENTION!!People that say it's your disk space don't know what there talking about.(no offence)(different OS,Formats ie. MAC,DELL,IBM different effects) Lime Wire 4.9.9 has a code problem. You need to upgrade to 4.9.29 I have not gotten the error since I have done this.

There is also a message Disk error ... which is different and It is possible that I am getting the two muddled.

You may well also be correct and unless I knew different I would not presume to tell you you don't know what you are talking about.

I'm guessing plimble does not have the space problem, but more information will help. Of course if they are using 4.9.29 or above ... what could the problem possibly be?

I feel you and all I will say Is I did reserch for hours due to the fact I had the problem. And disk errors are different, that is your hard drive. Most likely due to invalid parameters in your partition table .
Most of the treads I've read are not using above 4.9.9 and are saying that they have more than enough space ( I sat for hours reading threads), this is what prompted me to do more reserch. I have a twenty GB for my OS and an eighty GB for DL. So It has to be more than your HD itself. Not saying that people dont have errors on there HD. And when it is your HD most of the time using Scan Disk will catch the errors in your table. Also we are running different systems so there could be different parameters that could cause different effects. (Peace and Love)

The very early 4.9.x series did have a code problem (confirming.) But if this problem occurs with later versions then it would suggest a HDD problem as discussed.

I have not had the problem using 4.9.29.Exhaust All Options I highly recommend using Norton System Works 2005. It WILL find any errors on your partition tables, and correct them for you. If it is infact you’re HD. Also try your disk management, and device manager, either should show if there is a problem. And if not the Norton should pick it up.
