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.

Problem at the moment is that I get loads of Sources, but downloads remain on 'Awaiting Sources".

Default Download/Upload speeds

After following the forum for a while now, I'm hoping that someone can help me sort out why my download speeds have gone from up to 500Kbps to stuck on 'awaiting sources' or 'locating sources.'
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah...I'm on a home laptop,with a Skybroadband LAN connection that claims to be 100Kbps. It's a new router that is apparently on port Forwarding.

Hope that helps.

Cheers.

Default Hosts Tried

I'm going to presume that this is the proper forum location for my problem.

Each time I do a search for a movie and it lists a large number of hosts and I click to start a download all it does is indicate the number of hosts its' tried. It bebins with one and sometimes gets to the double or even triple digits before it switches to Need More Source. If I click on the item and then click on Resume it simply starts the process all over.

What's wrong?

Default Upload/firewall issues

I have the problem of not being able to have files upload and believe it's because of an firewall issue as the firewall brick block is always over the connection on the lower left hand side of l/w. I have tried every suggestion for disabling windows firewalls, norton security firewalls, etc., etc.

The strange thing is that I have been able to connect uploads and downloads in the past. It seems to change after a couple of months.

I see that one of the sugggestions talks about forcing an IP. I did get an IP address from the http address in the suggestion but now need advice on where to put it in limewire.

Thanks for any help you can offer

ndb

Ok folks I read al this and I must say it makes no sense at all to us Non computer people. I am not new to Limewire have been using for months now. Was using 360 Share pro. Now this past Friday Limewire froze up my computer trying to download a video. I had to force my computer to shut off by holding the power button. Then I went back to LW and all my vidoes that were saevd in my library are gone.
I try to download videos and I am looking at more than 150 host in a file T3 or better 4 stars and it can't find the host to download from. Try another and another and same results. I ran my Antivirus I did have a worm and got rid of that. If i do get a download the connection is realy slow and I only get 2 host max.
I am running windoiws X Home Edition Version 5.12600 my Ops in Micro Soft
It is a Compact Presario I do know I am now low on memory 2Mb but I have dumped alot of pics and games and got rid of some of the files in "My Favorites"
If i am asking the same question over as above I am sorry I read this several times and it seems like there one say do this and another says not good to do
