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.

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. |

 problems with very slow connection speeds hi everyone... first time post.... pc: HP media center PC running vista ISP: j-com (us citizen living in japan) i have tried to reconfigure my high speed modem, manually change the settings on limewire, and looked through the links to help optimize limewire. i'm still getting 1-3 KB/s download speeds.... i thought that it may have been a comfiguration with vista, so i tried my xp laptop as well. same issue. however, when i go to a wifi hotspot, i get much better download speeds, even with lots of users on the wifi hotspot. please help. if you need any other information please ask, and i'll do my best to provide it.  |

| By the sounds of it the Wifi is the issue. Bandwidth tends to fluctuate & be unreliable over wireless transmissions (how badly depends on variables of set up & equipment, etc.) Then you also have possible interference between from radio magnetic devices such as lights, electronic devices, etc. But I am confused. You say Wifi, yet you say you are connected via Cable. So it's a wireless modem/router connected to the cable right? 'If' it is possible to hard wire it ... meaning using ethernet cable instead of wireless, try that & I'm sure you will find your speeds will be fast & reliable. If you find that's the case, you may need to look at possibility of either keeping it connected via ethernet else, looking at a secondary wifi send point closer to where you will use your computer. Other than that, I am aware there are 'some' Internet providers in Japan that shape p2p sharing bandwidth. |

| Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at bottom of LW?  Did you add LW to exceptions on your Vista firewall? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...tml#post320774 Some things to try: (a) Problems with the search, __ (b) Hostiles List, __ (c) Under Tools > Options > Sharing > Advanced, set for Partial File Sharing. This will only partially share your next downloads, not your present ones. The fact your search is working fine but only downloads are slow either sounds like set up, else ISP interference. Oh another suggestion I forgot, you could try changing connection or/and listening ports to one between the 49152 - 65535 range. But you'd need to adjust your firewall/router if they also have a port setting for LW within them. This range of ports is less likely to be affected by ISP interference, but still no guarantee depending on the isp's filtering technique. |

| I have a brick wall in front of the world sign on limewire, and I cannot seem to get it off. I have been downloading the same movie now for 2 hours, and still am only at 20%. Wish now I hadn't bought the pro version, it doesn't download any faster than the free one. |
