Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. |

 only get "awaiting sources" message Whenever I try to download any audio file, first it says that it is connecting, then immediately goes to "awaiting sources." I'm using limewire pro on mac os 10.2.4. Anyone know why this is going on?  |

 Awaiting sources ... there is no solution! The awaiting sources question must be one of the biggest nuisances to users of this system. This system does not work well at all. Blackbird's reply is to read the numerous threads regarding this problem. Here's my experience with this: I sorted the 2278 postings by thread title, and most of the ones under the topic "awaiting sources" say absolutely nothing useful. I've read the FAQ and it says nothing useful. I tried to find the reference to this link in the FAQ: "To minimize the chances of failed downloads, make your search more specific. You will have more pertinent search results from which to choose a download." ...and it goes to nothing in the FAQ. Finally I found a big discussion in the Forum, under the title: "Could not Connect, Awaiting Sources" - Always?! ...and do you know what? It says nothing useful! Limewire users repeatedly complain that there's maybe a 5% success rate downloading, before it reverts to "awaiting sources" yet your tech support says JACK about solving the problem, except to refer you to a circular search for answers in the forum and the tech support, that says nothing! And you wonder why I click "No" everytime Limewire asks me "Upgrade to Limewire Pro"? This is all ridiculous. I have wasted more than an hour, to find out nothing. I waste even more time with repeated attempts to download. Some suggestions that may help: --Why not build something into Limewire software that ALERTS users before they disconnect, if others are connected to them? Maybe they get penalized if they disconnect uploads too often? --Why not allow users to set up into their preferences an option so that when they DO want to quit Limewire, Limewire first allows all connected users to finish all uploads in progress, but does not allow new uploads to start? --Why not improve the search system, so that our searches don't give so many false positives of all those people who aren't actually available to connect to? This is just off the top of my head, but I'm sure you can come up with even more solutions to improve the download success rate. And you can also do a lot to improve the info available on your forum (for example, organize the Forum discussions by TOPIC rather than just leaving it all a jumbled mess), and your FAQ. This might improve your sales, and your customer satisfaction. Right now, for me, it is close to zero, and I'm not going to upgrade to Limewire Pro. Please forward this to your development team, not to mention your Forum moderators. Thanks--Dionysus |

| Sorry I wasn't helpful enough for you. The awaiting sources message means that the file you requested cannot be found from the location you requested it from. Often doing the same search will find the same file on the same location. I told you to go to the other thread because a zillion people ask this question and find the answers they need in the thread. Secondly, the things you want are in limewire. Go to preferences and set your quit option to quit when all transfers are complete. Your number, 5% dl success rate. *chuckles* I'm sorry, but that's quite wrong. First off, reading the forums gives you skewed data. People in the forums are here because they have problems. Major problems that they were unable to solve by themselves. You don't hear about the tens of thousands of people who use the limewire network successfully. You just hear about the few dozen we get in here.

I bought Limewire Pro because of the damn popups and other garbage I was plagued with from kazaa et al, and I don't mind supporting P2P communities, however, I don't know why i got no email response, I'm not the most technical guy, which does not help, but still, I'm trying what they're telling me, and I'm not getting very far. One week in, 3 mp3's downloaded and a couple of pdfs. Awaiting Sources for all the rest. Would someone also be good enough to tell me what those Connected Hosts are all about in that tab on my interface? Is this evidence I'm somehow connected?

| Read above for what the awaiting sources messages mean. The connections tab shows who you are connected to in the network. http://www.milkdrinker.com/GnutellaToadHow4.swf is a good gnutella primer. Very easy to understand. You're not getting files because of your firewall. You have to go to the utility or software controller of your router, and tell it to open port 6346 and forward your NAT. Your manual that came with your router should tell you how to do that using your utility or other software interface.

| What you should do, when that message pops up, is to leave the files there, and go to the searched tab and click repeat search. The search will most likely find the same file in a different place and begin downloading it. If that doesn't work, pick a new file.
