If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you. To aid helpers in solving download/upload problems, LimeWire and Frostwire users must specify whether they are downloading a torrent file or a file from the Gnutella network.
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.

Angry This Board is totally USELESS

I posted two questions (Trish #1) nearly one week ago, had some 14 people read it and not one reply to it. What about the moderators? do you guys ever put out and try to help or are you just assuming that title and don't care to be bothered pitching in??????

surely, you guys will delete this out of embarrasment, but maybe, just maybe you will reply with something helpful and productive.

thanks again in advance for any help you may provide

Well, your first question seemed to be a LimeWire-specific question, you should ask that in the LimeWire forum - or even better search for threads where people put the same question already.

As for your second question: 1) read the FAQ (people here like to pretend that nobody is engaging in copyright infringement on Gnutella) and 2) I have no idea what your problem was. I never purchased anything that I downloaded from Gnutella.

That's hardly fair now is it??

I would just like to say that I am a newbie & I have had some problems downloading & so I posted questions (some which I realise now have been answered before). I have had replies, but I also managed to find an awful lot of information about these things & more on my own by reading through the forum. This is a very informative site & I for one am very thankful that these people give their time & energies to help the rest of us who are just learning.

I just wish that I'd managed to find all of this before I had parted with £24.95 for some crap Shareaza rip-off called e-tomi which I got through the ultimatemovies download site.....BEWARE!!!!

Although I am having problems, I do feel that it is better & more pro-active to look around & learn in the process.

So....Thanks to all the Limewire guys & volunteers who help me to spend rather an unhealthy but fun amount of time learning online

Hmmmm You know I'm fairly new here, but when I've had problems, and start a new thread with the information I've needed to find out about I've been answered.

But one of the keys I've discovered is providing enough information.

It's hard to get help or for other's to assist if they don't have any information.

for example: I can't connect please help.

What does someone have to work with. Why should they reply.

Just my opinion but the Mods here do a good job, especially since they get nothing in return for what they do except the occasional thank you.

Just remember to provide as much information as possible when you do have a problem. You generally will get a quicker response from a member of the forum or Mod.

Who wants to answer a question they know nothing about. (Well there are those who would, but I would wonder about them)

For original poster-

Nope, just not true- I`ve come across many, many answers on this board including the meaning of life and how to cook a perfect Stir fried Garlic Beef dish.
