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. |

 "Could not Connect, Awaiting Sources" - Always?! I've been trying for a week now to download files and though a few came through at first, for the past several days, no matter what file I pick, it just says "Connecting" and then "Could not Connect, Awaiting Sources" and lines up with all the rest that said the same thing. I've read through the FAQ and one post that explained how to better assure a successful download. I changed everything accordingly - especially only looking for 3-4 stars. And yet, I'm not getting anything! People are uploading from my files just fine! So why can't I download any files!  Thanks so much for any help with this!  |

 Ouch! Thanks for including the info; but I'm convinced there are some major problems with OSX 10.2.5 and the LW 2.9.8 that will not be fixed shortly. The OSX version of LW is still using java 1.3.1. For the next few weeks, try Acquisition : it's basically LW at the core, but the developer has adapted it to work on OSX with java 1.4.1, so let him worry about getting LW to work on OSX while the LW team gets the next release ready. You could try running the uninstall AND trashing the ~/Library/Preferences/LimeWire folder, ~/Library/Preferences/LimeWire.plist, and the Incomplete folder (salvage what you can for curiousity, but very few are likely to resume). Some other OSX ~/Library setting gets corrupted too, but I can't find it. There are other possibilities, but you've already read the threads, so if you find something new . . . do post back. Cheers. [edit--you DID know about cmd-clicking the search tabs to "repeat search", right? Kick me if that's all you need!] Last edited by stief; April 25th, 2003 at 05:08 PM. |

 Mac OSX 10.2.5, LW 2.9.8 Pro DSL Verizon and Airport wireless Mac Powerbook Titanium G4 400Mhz Same prob here that has gotten worse and worse. I used to get one dwnld before the "waiting for sources" no go. Now it's on everything. Might be the installation? As in resources or plist in user/Library or System/Library? whadooaino? I relied Acquisition but find too many hosts offline. I have yet to get a single complete dwnld from Acq. Everyone gets nixed by the host offline or busy or waiting in line. I wish my Limewire worked as it did for so long. Now I'm payin Apple .99c per song. And they only have a handful of songs on iTunes Store. *sigh* Limewire and Gnutella are (were?) the best... |

| Same error msg but using OS X I am a brand new user running Limewire 2.9.8 that I installed today on G4 with OS 9.2.2. I am seeing the exact msg and unable to download ANYTHING at all: Could not Download; awaiting sources. I dumped my .limewire folder to rebuild the prefs. that did not help. I am seriously wondering after reading some of these postings if this will work... I have Earthlink DSL, and a Linksys wireless router as well.... Any ideas????? |

Am seeing lots of connections, and a few uploads; but no downloads, tho. Using Win2000, connect via Comcast cable. If you learn more, pls forward info to me c/o herbwx@comcast.net --------------------------- Quote:

| Re: Same error msg but using OS X I would like to stick w/Limewire, but can't seem to download anything since upgrading to v2.9.8 two days ago. To ensure I hadn't erred at my end, I downloaded a similar program, Shareaza, and it works fine right from the get-go. At least I can use it and download stuff while I solve the Limewire issues.
