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 No Song Preview, Why????

I downloaded this Limewire deal to get music and movies, and it works ok, but you can't preview the song before you download it. I am new to this downloading thing, are all the places like this or just Limewire? I know if it is starting to download you can hit launch and hear the begining of the song, but if you decide it is not the one you want and stop it, it keeps it in an incomplete folder, so then you have to go back and delete these later, why not just have a preview option? Thanks for the help, remember I am brand new to this so maybe I am doing something wrong.

I hope you go it from here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml If not read this: Membership? - **WARNING ** BEWARE** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites Also make sure you have a default app set for previewing the type of file you wish to preview as it's dwnlding. (Highlight/select movie/audio file, go to File - Properties & select default app to play them (make sure they can play them & you already have all the needed codecs for playback.)

Codecs: http://www.k-litecodecpack.com/ or http://www.divx-digest.com/software/nimo_pack.html & you could also try an alternate free player: http://www.videolan.org/

I bought the unlimited lifetime through Lime WIRE not a ripp off site. I know how I can preview once the file starts to download, but what I want to know is can you preview a song before it starts the downloading process?

Nope, no previews before the dld starts.
If you take the time to think about it, it's rather fairly simple and logical: you can't preview something you don't have and unless you start dlding the file, then you don't have it.
It's almost as if you asked: "Can I eat an apple without having one?"...
It's not impossible to do it, but it would need streaming and to do that in P2P would probably slow down everyone.

And another thing: there are scam sites that appear exactly like the official limewire site. The official one is located at www.limewire.com and doesn't offer lifetime stuff.
The only time-period thingy it offers is free updates for the ones who buy Pro. And that's only for 6 months, no more, no less.

Sounds to me like you joined one of the scam sites, Limewire doesn´t offer a unlimited lifetime membership or something like this. You pay for Limwire and can update it the next six months, if you want to continue it you pay again. No membership, no monthly fees. I bet your site claimed all downloads all legal, we have millions of users... bla, bla, bla... they are lying.
What you got is the FREE version of Limewire which you can download here for free:

www.limewire.com

This and ONLY this is the official Limewire site. You should ask for a refund.

Perhaps you don´t know that Limewire is a P2P client, this means that you connect to people like you and me and there is NO fast server which offers thousands of songs, so you have to download a little before you can preview it.

I think you are right. This is the site a payed for the download.
http://www.imusicsearch.com/download.htm
I am totally new to this and I can't believe they can do something like this. I have emailed them demanding a refund, but I am afraid they won't do it. Does Lime Wire know these people are doing this? Any advice you can give me I would appreciate it.

They are very clever as their site is made in the same colors as limewire. I have contacted imusicsearch and demanded my money back. They replied and said they can't find a record of my transaction. I then called my credit card company and had the charges reversed. So at least I will get my money back. Now how does limewire work. What they charged me $37.45 is what limewire offers for free? How does limewire make any money? Is this for a limited time? Please give me some info as I am totally new to this and am now very confused.
Thanks

The basic version is free, but they offer a PRO version with minor technical improvements for $18,88. But Limewire is open source you can compile your own PRO version so if you want to buy the PRO version its more a donation.

The max you can pay for LW is around 30$ if you get the special CD edition.
