When posting, please include details for:
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 DL speed Problem

I have been having a problem with frostwire 4.10.0.3 beta it will not get above 15KB/s DL speeds even with a large # of host per file. Whereas LW will dl the same files at 500KB/s. Now I still have the .limewire folder in documents and settings is it possible that this is causing the problem.

I am having no problem with UL speed when The screen shot was taken I was UL to 5 at 30KB/s I then set it to unlimited UL it maxed my connection out at 45KB/s.

Java is using between 4% and 25% of CPU and occasionally spikes at 60% which is a little high I am running a AMD64 X2 3800+ OC to 2.5 Ghz 2 gigs of ram. I have a feeling it would freeze a lesser CPU. Memory is normal around 54,000. It appears to slow down my machine slightly.

Ouch! zab said he found a nasty download bug, and looks like you hit it. Those numbers really show something is wrong: nice screenshot.

zab's fix made it to LW's 4.10.5 release , and I noticed the FW team have updated the sourcecode, so I expect there will be a new release soon.

that's right. The official releases are noted on the www.frostwire.com page; all the project files are listed at sourceforge.

btw, thanks to ultracross for finding and fixing one cause of the CPU bug, so it should be good for the next release.

well I'm really confused then. what do the other releases on the sourceforge site count as? (maybe i'm not understanding what "official" and "unofficial" mean in this context)

hehe

Yes, I know what you mean.

The files on SF are released for limited testing, and some of them went "Official."

The 4.10.5 is a good example of a release that isn't ready for widepread distribution, so the message on www.frostwire.com still points to the earlier version.

When the devs are satisfied that a release is ready for wider distribution, the notification will show up on the "Official" frostwire.com page.

By all means, feel free to try the ones on sourceforge, but just be aware that if the frostwire.com page is still indicating an earlier version, the latest one might not be tested as much.

k, thanks stief.
May I suggest that files on the SF site be marked in the filename as either "official" or "unofficial"?

Can you delete your preferences for frostwire and try it again? And if it persists, could you also run the test on limewire. I suspect that its limewire's code and not ours that may be at fault.

Deleting the preference folder fixed it. I thought it was supposed to read LimeWires preference folder when it is installed LimeWire has been working fine.
