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.

1,000 megabits per second or 1,000,000 kilobits per second or 1,000,000,000 bits per second. But your speed (12,374 kbps) would be 0.012374 Gbps. Or have I miscalculated. Very nice speed all the same. I wish ...

No you haven't miscalculated I said a person would have to have a very fast connection in order for the hack to make a difference. I myself have a very fast connection for a home user but it doesn't appear to make any difference weather I use the patch or not.

Question 2 Phone Lines To Modem

Also, upgrading to 512 MB of RAM would help a lot- perhaps not with downloads, but with overall system speed, since WinXP usually likes a lot more.
JUST WONDERING DO YOU MEAN - I NEED A SECOND PHONE CONNECTION OR DO I JUST USE THE CABLE FROM THE PHONE AND CONNECT IT TO THE MODEM - THUS USING BOTH LINES FROM THE PHONE SPLITTER TO GAIN ADDITIONAL SPEED

I am having problems downloading. I bought pro to download faster, but it is just the same, and I could have saved my money. Can anyone tell me why I am having these problems? I cannot even get a skin to download.

Hi -

I was about to purchase Limewire Pro, but went ahead and did some research and ran into these message boards. I see that you bought pro back in November and didn't see much of a change. Anything new since then?

Also - I have a desktop and a laptop, do I have to purchase Limewire Pro twice for both computers, or can install Pro on both after one payment?

You can check out the changelog here

How much difference you'll see between Pro & basic depends a bit on your connection & what you're using LW for...Pro lets you connect to 2 extra ultrpeers, so it has the capacity for better search results. People who look for rarer files find it better. You'll also be able to connect to a couple of extra hosts when downloading (max 14 if you have a T3 connection).

You'll be able to save your Pro installer(s) & copy them to your other computer. Just remember to bookmark your personal download page & save & back up any installers you download...LW doesn't keep old installers for downloading later if you lose the current one.

If you haven't already, try the basic (free) version first. Get to know the app & work out if you like it enough to buy the Pro

Download either version only from www.limewire.com

With this patch would you notice a difference with a cable modem about 8mbps?

But unless you have a very fast Internet connection it will not help. But if you do have a 1 gig or faster connection it will help. At least from my experience.
I have been reading posts trying to figure out why my video downloads are so slow (2 - 10 kbps). I used your link to find my speed and it is 12,374 kbps or 15,468 KB/sec. Are my downloads happening at a normal speed? I'm new so I don't know what to expect but it seems that they are terribly slow. I have turned off my Norton firewall and am using the Windows firewall instead.

Default Do I need this download?

I have WXP SP2

Microsoft released a new TCPIP.SYS with build 5.1.2600.2892 on the yesterday's patch-day. The current Patcher 2.23d is still capable of changing the half-open tcp limit. But you need to reapply the patcher to set a higher limit to the new version.
whats it for

Grandpa, thank you for guiding me in the right direction. I found what was wrong - my pre-load programs that came with my laptop installed an early version of Java, so I uninstalled that version and now have just the newest version and my downloads have speeded up considerably (50 - 200 kbs) for video. Thanks!
