Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up

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 Resuming downloads

Ever since i upgrade from 4.8.1 a strange thing appens

I use LW from my office
My connection is only free from 9am to 9pm
Every night i must disconnect LW
Every day the progress D/L of big files .avi or .mpg is reseted to lower value than the previous day
While i use 4.9.11 the reset was random
In 4.9.23 allways reset to 2%
After D/L restarts i have allways the message "file corrupt"

Anyone with the same problem??

Personally, I think the Limewire resume, never worked. and you do have to rely on the other user for downloading speeds. when Im in Limewire, I simply delete the download and try to start again. If it still doesnt work then I switch to Bearshare.

That behaviour sounds very odd! It's almost as though you have corrupt preferences or something. If your downlds were going to lose their progress, then normally if there was an issue it would be reset to zero. And that only happens if your comp crashed or you didn't close LW properly before you shutdown the comp. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

The issue couldn't have something to do with the office backup system could it? Do you log into the exact same terminal or comp everyday do you?

sorry, hate to tell you Lord of the rings, the Limewire resume function never worked. and Ive used Limewire for a long time. and I'll be damed if I can get a resume going after loosing a connection and Im on cable. Actually, its always a good idea to download bearshare lite for backup.

Perhaps it doesn't work for you Sphinx but it works for other people! And I'm not sure about you recommending a now defunct p2p sharing program. But I guess you can only speak from your own limited experiences. I've been using LW for about 4 yrs (since LW version 2.) So exactly how long have you been using it? If you call 6-12 mths a long time well ...

Corrupt downld preferences are usually due to not closing LW down properly before you shutdown the comp., or the comp crashes. Though it can also happen if you jump backwards in LW versions.

I didn't realise you were refering to resuming downlds after the LW downld preferences became corrupted. Then yes, if they're corrupted then there's nothing you can do about it b/c the downld progress will have been lossed. (I thought you were refering to resuming downlds normally using the resume/find sources function, not the resume function in the Library.) But yes you can get them to start downlding but they'll most likely start from 0% in the case of corrupted downld preferences.

i did 2 things:

1 - install bearshare - i didnt run it yet
2 - shutdown LW with extreme carefull i.e.: pause all d/l ; wait several min ; disconnect LW ; wait several min ; total sutdown of LW. When restart LW the d/l starts imediatly (even before connect) resuming ok. I wait several min before order to connect.

i totaly shutdown LW 3 times already with good results

What appened i dont know.
Works fine until now.
(i didnt delete .limewire folder)
