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 Limewire/iTunes xfer issues

I have the same problem. I was able to get some relief through preferences, but it only lasted part of one session.

I think there's just a basic problem.

Default transfer files from limewire to Itunes

Okay. I have LW 3.8.10, MAC OS 10.3.3 and downloads all show up in iTunes Library immediately upon completion, hundreds of times, except for this 103Meg one. LW Prefs haven't changed but I toggled off & on anyway, tried all 7 of ursula's "how to add"... checked the Get Info on the file & it looks like any other mp3. It sits in my Shared folder but can't add it or a copy to the Library.

Even while I'm moving it all around and copying it and clicking it, other DLs are completing and popping right into iTunes.

What's left to check? I hate to trash this file 'cause it took all day to DL, and a new search doesn't even find it.

It's maybe not a mp3. Solely it looks like a mp3 does not mean it is really a mp3. Files are sometimes named wrong and 103MB are very unusual for a mp3. Try other Players like QuickTime Player, VLC etc.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply!

Yeah... LW, iTunes, and my Mac are all fine so I figured it must be the file. But the giant file SIZE does seem right, as it's a double-record set. ( And it's legal 'cause I have the vinyl )

I did find it again, now with 11 hosts, downloaded from 3 so it only took an hour. Had the first one still, and did NOT get the box saying "Overwrite said file?" so I thought maybe the first was bad, but the second one did the same thing-- nothing. LimeWire plays it, but iTunes won't and Quicktime won't. Is there any way to find out what it is? What is VLC?

(And why doesn't my sig file show up?)

VLC is an Audio/Video Player. You can download it at www.videolan.org. An other option is MPlayer. Both Players are quite fault tolerant.

Only an idea, but you could try MP3 Rage (available at www.macupdate.com). Use it to delete the ID3 tags which will maybe adjust some bits. You could also try a MP3 to Whatever (AIFF/WAV) converter (MP3 Rage can do it but I don't know if it's QuickTime based)...
