Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you
LimeWire and FrostWire users 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.

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.

Bugger! I've been having this problem too, it's what I came here wondering if there was an answer to. I've been using Limewire as a freebie client for years but ever since I paid up for the full deal a few weeks ago this started happening. It only seems to be on really popular songs. I was getting paranoid and wondering if the record companies had figured out a way to screw us (as we screw them I guess) out of out free downloads. Perhaps that IS it!

Conspiracy theory or technical hitch? Which is it and HOW DO WE FIX IT??

OK, as I've now established, and hopefully so have you, in another topic ("Every file is corrupt?") this IS a conspiracy and we're being messed around by "T3 or Higher" connections all (or at least nearly all) or which have dud files to make us sad.

What I've discovered, in the 5 minutes since identifying the problem, as a good answer to this is, every time you do a search get the list of results to compile according to speed, "T3 or higher" at the top of the list. Then work your way down and, using a Mac on OSX (I'm sure there's an equivalent on PC's) control click each highly rated result and select "Block Host".

Do this a couple of times and all those nasty corrupt file harbouring entities simply disappear from your search result listings.

Bliss!

I noticed the other day that my preferences had been set to only search for T3 or Higher, which I cannot in my wildest dreams imagine choosing myself. Is it possible that these mysterious T3 industry backed suppliers of corrupt files have managed to attach a virus that changes preferences or have I just gone insane one night and clicked this by accident? (It's not impossible, just unlikely but then so are lots of things that happen in my life). It would make sense if they did, since that's the speed they are operating on and with this option selected all I EVER got was listings of T3 supplied corrupt files. Once I set it back to accepting all speeds I've got no shortage of genuine files to choose from again from T1's on down.

Oh, and by the way, I now routinely use the excellent launch facility with any music file downloads when the file is a few percent downloaded. This quickly alerts me to a corrupt file as those don't play anything and the progress bar skips to the end within a second or so - so I can kill the download and not waste my time with it.

Default Corrupt Files

Ok so i posted my last rant and rave 2 days ago. since then i have downloaded about 100 songs without a single problem, listen to them and the quality is excellent. i have come to the conclusion that all the T3 files are curropt. we can sit and talk about conspiracy theories all day long but the fact of the matter is that the only time we all have problems downloading is when we try and download off of a T3 user. So down with the T3 users, dont download from them and you should be allright.

I'm having the same problem with corrupt files only mine is with any speed. It only started happening when I upgraded to 4.0.8. This should not be happening at all. I have been a faithfull user almost since the beginning and have been paying faithfully for Pro for a while now. Can't someone look into this like FAST.

Also, with this new version, it seems like the program does not connect automatically like it did before. I have to connect manually. If it does connect on it's own it takes forever to get up to turbocharged. What's up with that?

Another problem, on some downloads it finishes (99%) then starts over downloading from the same source. This never happened before. ANSWERS PLEASE!

Angry EVERY file is CORRUPT lately!

All of the sudden, I'm in the same boat where every song, every file, every attempt downloads and when I go to play it, it's 1/2 hour long and silent OR I learn that it's corrupt AFTER I've waited hours to get it.

I live where Jesus lost his shoes so the squirrels running the wheels for our dial-up is the fastest connection I can get Imagine my frustration! FYI: Mac G4 OSX 10.3.4, gig+ ram...

Hey I only less than 2 weeks ago swapped over from dial-up, I know very well how frustrating it can be.

There has bee a recent discussion about T3 users offering corrupt files, be they representing the music/video industry or the RIAA, just stay clear of those connetions if possible! To find out more, do a forum search for T3 connections or similar, such as RIAA.

LW does this because it either missed some part of the file, so it has to go back and try to dwl the rest. Or part of the file is corrupt, and it is trying again to dwl that part.
