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. 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. |

???????help Needed - Cash Prize For Solution??????? Hello there, I am a disgruntled limewire user that is offering a reward for anybody who can succesfully solve my problem or can link me to a solution than solves my it. Now I am not an enourmously technical person, but I will try my best: I have been a limewire user for quite some time now, but about 6 months ago my downloads became painstakingly slow (0-2 kb/sec) and searches became erattic and often returned nothing at all. I am using the latest mac version of limewire on OS X 10.3.9 and I have had no problems with internet or email (even downloading from the itunes music store!), but unfortunately I come across similar problems with any p2p programme i use. My internet connection comes through a wireless LAN router in another room in the house. If there is any other technical information you need to know, i will try my best to source it out. I have tried absolutely everything in my technically limited power and have achieved nothing. So please help out, you won't regret it Yours frustratedly, Iwantmydownloadsback |

It seems likely that you wireless connection and/or router are giving the problem Please give as much detail about the router as you can .. serial no . make etc. Also please give details of your firewall(s) |
| |||
My router is a Wireless-G ADSL gateway (WAG54G). Like this: http://www1.linksys.com/internationa...id=19&ipid=667 We also have another PC in the house that uses the same router, and that PC might have a firewall, but as far as I'm aware I'm not running one on my mac. PS. thanks for responding. |
| |||
Have you read the manual for the router thoroughly, particularly with regard to configuring it. I've a feeling that somewhere something may not be correctly set up. I'm not an expert on routers , but the lure of a cash prize wasd too much to resist |
| ||||
Check this Connection problems? Check here first! as it has important info for OSX firewall & Linksys setting up. However, I've a suspicion your problem is your ISP. Can you tell us who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Try an experiment, downld a magnet link file from here & tell us what speeds you get: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml And do a speed test whilst LW is closed here http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/speedtest/ (choose nearest location) |

Here are my speed test results: Direction Actual Speed True Speed (estimated) Downstream 918 Kbps (114.8 KB/sec) 991 Kbps (inc. overheads) Upstream 228 Kbps (28.5 KB/sec) 246 Kbps (inc. overheads) I hope this helps you a bit, and i will keep trying other tips from your first link. Thanks, Ben |

Well you should be getting faster speeds. But TalkTalk "is" the problem. Have a look here ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire, there was a no. of people using TalkTalk who were having the same problem. Answer? Look around for other isp's. There's a link in the above link which is a guideline for those isp's known to either block or shape bandwidth for p2p use in the UK (at the bottom of the 1st post.) eg: Another member on the forum posted a snapshot of his speeds from the same magnet link site & he was getting over 200 KB/s from memory. You 'should' be getting up around the 100 KB/s I should imagine. |
| |||
It could well be that talktalk is part of the problem, but would they really slow my downloads without stopping them? I mean, after manually forwarding a port, i started getting downloads of up to about 10kb/sec, and although this is a lot slower than the used to be, downloads are still eventually successful and searches return results. I don't see why talktalk would place such sanctions on my downloads without completely stopping them. But again, judging by the link you sent me, they do seem to be a troubling company for the p2p community. |
| ||||
Well there are different categories of P2P's. Those that block & those that shape. TalkTalk shape bandwidth. Probably by using a program such as http://www.sandvine.com/products/p2p_element.asp or http://www.ipp2p.org/docu_en.html here's an example of how gnutella can be shaped: Bandwidth Shaper Sample - typical of how some ISP's use it (click on link) ie: giving priority to net surfing & low priorities to p2p sharing. So why do they shape it? 1. So they can give most of it to business which is where they get most of their money. 2. Because in some areas, the population of users means the bandwidth traffic is high, so to maintain a reasonable speed for those who only browse, then ... as they sometimes aim only to attract people who want fast browse speeds, ... not for heavy use such as games or p2p, etc. |
