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. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 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. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. 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. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. 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. |

 Downloads "Jump" backwards I have Limewire PRO 4.9.11, and spent days downloading a cd image. (@ variably between 1&15 KB/s). When I was 98% done, I had to shut down my computer overnight, as I did often before (Properly: 1.Paused download 2.Exited Limewire 3. Shut down computer). The next morning my download had "jumped" back to 18%! I am fuming! Any help or info would be appreciated.  |

 you shouldnt have shutdown you computer i guess? most likely you were downloading from one source. the network is very dynamic. this goes with any network and any application. you can only blame yourself for thinking the file would still be available from the same source when you get back online. moral of the story: if your that close to finishing the download, why not let it download. |

Q: Can I resume the download of a file? A: As of the current release, there is a "forced resume" button, which allows users to restart a download from the download window. "Smart downloading" will try to "auto-resume" your file if needed. Q: What happens to my active downloads if I exit LimeWire? A: If you exit the LimeWire program, any downloads that were in progress will terminate at this time. These downloads will resume the next time you start the program, but only if the host of that download is connected to the Gnutella network. Q: Where are my files stored before they have completed the download process? A: They are stored in an "Incomplete" directory. Click the "Library" tab to view. Q: Can I "preview" files before they have completed downloading? A: You can preview in-progress downloads of media files by simply double clicking on the name of a file currently being downloaded or pressing the "Launch" button after highlighting the file being downloaded.  Q: Does LimeWire preserve the state of downloads in the case of a system crash? A:Yes. LimeWire will generally behave as if you had quit the program. (See above.) and you can read more here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/faq.shtml#dow5 I don't see any specification that you should not shutdown your computer........   Quote:
Yes???...???... than what is the moral of "resuming download" function in this program ??????????? And you know what: What are functions of the program that you are testing. 'cose I saw that you are a beta tester???? Have you ever tested this function and alway worked impecably for you. If yes, than I thinc that you are just a normal user... Again sorry for my tone no ofense, no bad meanings! |

| the resume functions in limewire are still alittle unclear and may have bugs in it. and yes, i extensively test beta software. i have had this happen MANY of time before. for normal users, they should allow the download to complete without any interruptions. this is the best way to avoid any bugs that are in the resume function. your right, i am a normal user of LW, but i know some things most users will never know. its like a car, the mechanic knows more about the car than the owner will ever want to know.  btw, i decided to become a beta tester because i got fed up with alot of the bugs that were in the versions that i was using previously.  |

| Resuming Downloads Dagam3 Although this thread has reached its conclusion I would just like to add a little bit to it. Both Ultracross and you are right about resuming downloads but there is one little point you have seen but have not understood its significance. Quote:
So Ultracross is correct when he says that you run the risk when you switch off your PC. Also remember that the P2P network consists of thousands of individually owned PCs (and some user owned servers) which can be switched off or on at any time by their owners. UK Bob |

| Re: Resuming Downloads Quote:
LW should try to match only the all imcomplete file and if cannot make a match ask what to do: wait another source or match the most he can. I only try to D/L files with 4* and 2+ sources and allways see if the file exists in bitzi database. With that, unless exists any D/L error, LW shoud resume properly from a compatible file. then: is a LW bug or a LW bug? |
