Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. 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.

Default HELP! "Corrupted File" Message Everytime I download mp3's from LimeWire

I just upgraded to the new Limewire 4.0.8 and everytime I try to download a music mp3 file it says that the file is corrupted and I chjose to not save it. The few I have saved were corrupted and would not play. I also can not delete them from the library no matter what I try. I have only been able to successfully download 1 mp3song but I tried to download alot. This never happened to me before I upgraded to limewire 4.0.8. Is there some setting that needs changing. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
James

Thank You LOR for the Reply. Yes I did read that thread but unlike the guy in that thread when that box popped up I said "No" do not continue download. A few times I said to continue the download and those files were corrupted. The weird thing is it says the file is corrupted everytime I try to download something and I never had this problem before I upgrade today to version 4.0.8. Any other insight...HELP...Please

Sorry no, not at present. There definitely are a percentage of files out there that are corrupt at the source, May I ask what % of the files you dwnld are corrupted? And are these all different types of files or of the same kind? Movies & apps I believe are the 2 most frequent to be corrupted at their source. It doesn't happen to everybody for the same version so there must be an explanation/reason. Sorry I can't help more at present but hopefully somebody with more of the right type of experience will find some possible source of the problem.

Thanks again. I download mp3 music files and I would say my percentage is like %95 of corrupted files.

Thank you for your reply. How do I know what files are shared by the most people? Where do I look to get that information? What is a bitzi lookup? I have never done that before.
Thank you for your help.

The one part of your question I can answer is : www.bitzi.com I haven't quite worked out yet where, but Im sure you will find the spot (dare I say it, just list a complaint/queastion & it'll probably end up in the right place.) Actually it'd be good if you find the exact right section of the forum to report it back to us. (Perhaps my patience for searching was a bit warn out at the time.) I've heard bitzi is where people report good/corrupt files & many other things.

I really appreciate your help.
My Operating System is
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002
What other information would be helpful?
I don't see that little arrow on the upper left side of the search. Are you running LimeWire 4.0.8

Peerless was refering to the 2nd column in the search results under the column labelled #, which represents the no. of sources you've been able to locate during that search. You know it'd help us heaps if you could supply a few fundamental details such your OS update, ram, HDD size, type of connection, (b/c basically we get windws/mac/linex, other) which all have ther own requirements. Knowing which platform would help us a lot to understanding your problem. Not to asy we will, but we'll try. But U must help us 1st.

I have a Dell Dimension DIM4550 Intel
Pentium 4 CPU 2.4 GHz
NTFS
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002
OS UPDATE: Not sure what that is or how to find out
RAM: 512MB
HDD SIZE: 55.8 GB
CONNECTION: Cable Comcast.net It is pretty fast.

Have a look (a search) on the bitzi site to see if there's been any commentary on the particular files you're trying to dwnld. This 'might' answer part of your question. Also if you click/double-click at the top of any column of the search window, it'll be sorted by that criteria. Likewise if you hit the # the most commonly found (most sources) will be sorted/displayed at the top of the window. That will help you to know which ones are popular & easiest to dwnld & hopefully corrupt free.
