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.

Default Lost!!

Ok, you guys have lost me and this is what I was scared of....I don't have a real grasp of what I can do ( as u can prob tell!!)
If Tiscali are the prob, does that mean I have to change?? So there's nothing I can do in the meantime for LW??
This seems stress as I'm not the only one who uses it @ home and not everyone will want to change all cos I can't download!!

Very interested re tiscali, had run ins myself with them, upgraded then got problems, rang ''Tech support'' asked if they were messing with the protocols, thus affecting P2P, yes is the answer, despite advertising ''Unlimited Downloads''
they put ALL ''Heavy Users'' into the same pipe or channel, vying for what bwidth is there, also penalised if you are in this ''Pipe'' cos u can only dload at normal speeds between 11.00pm at night until 4.00am approx sometimes less
this is an ''Automatic'' process triggered if u dload 1 gig per day, to get out again takes two weeks(Not using lwire) also a problem is gaming,they say it uses up too much bandwidth(too much information) if u are doing both ure ******
Problem is in my area not any alternatives apart from BT, as u say they know this and make u PAY and PAY. this is a major problem if you have a family, ie 2/3/4/ computers all doing their own thing !!
IS THERE ANY ANSWER TO THIS apart from paying A LOT OF MONEY !!

Chow-chow,

I have the same problem as you, I have been without tiscali broadband for a few weeks while ive moved house, when the reconnected it I can now no longer connect to limewire, there is now a brick wall in front of the globe and it won't connect at all.

I know its not my router or computer as I have turned both firewalls off and run a few tests on the internet to access my computer and they say there is no firewall on.

IF i log into my neighbours broadband signal via wireless I can connect to limewire straight away!!

So there is definitely something fishy going on with Tiscali!

Regards,

Dan

I am with Tiscali and have had no problems at all (until today but I think that's something else).

Just don't download between 6pm-11pm and they don't care what you do outside of those hours.

Hi cmcb.

Try using FrostWire, I don't think that P2P app is on there list, also when you are setting it up, before it connects change the ports to a number between
50000 to 65000, Dont let it use default ports.
Like norbie said, avoid 6pm to 11pm for large file D/Ls & you may just stay off
their radar.
Peace.

Hello there.
I'm having the same problem with Tiscali in the UK. It will let me download sometimes then not at all, tells me I'm not connected when I am and that I'm behind a firewall which I've disabled. My mate's ISP is also Tiscali and he has no problems at all.......most annoying espcially when you pay good money for a anytime, no restriction ISP then it tells you what you can and can't do!!
Your irately,
Lesley.

Unfortunately after a spell of not using it for a while it is now totally and utterly usless.....

Irrespective of the no. of hosts to download from where I would get anything up to 110kb download speed it is now down to 1-5KB and continually stops for very long pauses before re continuing at an even slower pace.

After reading lots of info/help on this forum (nothing I tried made any difference) I came acrross the isp's that limit p2p downloads and to my shock saw Tiscali mentioned.As I use them (UK) and could find no other reason I posted on the Tiscali UK Forum site and apparently they have been blocking/limiting ALL p2p downloads from 8am to 1pm,irrespective of your bandwidth use (I have the problem with Limewire 24hrs) Tiscali is said to be making an official announcment on the matter in the next week.

If there is anyone using Limewire OK with UKonline ? If yes I would be gratefull if you would say if they are ok or not as Tiscali can go to HELL.

I did try downloads speeds from 'Magnet mix' as suggeseted here many times and the most I could get was 15kb,,mainly though it was about 5kb and continually stopping.

My broadband speed is 1mb on an ADSL modem

Kind regards
Andy
I say give up on Tiscali I have been with them for a while I had a small connection problem and they didn't fix it for 6 months! They are only refunding me 2 months. Their after sales service is non existant do as I do and switch.

Kind regards
