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. |

 2nd: Let's by-pass using a browser. Go to Utilities folder & open Terminal. Type this in (or copy-paste): curl -L -o LimeWire.dmg "http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOSX" Then try to mount that image after it's completed downloading. You will find it in your user account folder. eg: OSX > Users > Lotr  |

| In answer to #10 I went to the mager address you gave me. I couldn't download using either safari or firefox from the 2nd choice given but I could from the first ( http ) I got it to open and attach I got the usual interface however I don't get any results. This window came up LimeWire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connectd to the network. I went to file and connect was grayed out. I'm now going to try the suggestion in #11 Thank you. |

| So at least you were able to mount the jum version & run it. Did you run it from the mounted dmg or drag the program into your applications folder & run from there? It sounds to me like you also have a firewall issue. Can you also answer these questions: System details - help us to help you (click on link) |

| I followed the instructions and took the folder to the hard disk and ran from there. I think all the answers to the questions on the link you mentioned are in my initial posting. Please let me know if I have left something out. Thank you |

| Who is your ISP? And this one confuses me "yes I saw the blue brick wall" if you didn't have LW installed. Did you try the 2nd download location I gave using the terminal? |

| My ISP is Internode. Sorry I can't remember how I saw the blue brick wall as I answered those questions awhile before I actually made a posting. Yes I did manage to download limewire from Terminal and am trying to use it now, however I got a blue ball with a red brick wall down the bottom of the limewire window. The status says need more resources Thanks |

| In preferences in Limewire firewall connections the listening port is set at 28088 the router configuration checked is Use UPnP (Rrecommended) This is different to what the firewall in my computer says The only firewall I have checked is Gnutella/Limewire Port Name other TCP Port Number 6346 UDP Port Number 6346 Also I have been experiencing internet problems since I got Limewire installed. Probably not related but it might help knowing this. The ADSL and Internet lights go off and the power switch goes red!! Thanks |

| Change the listening port in LW to 6346. Else change the OSX firewall to port 28088. I'd try 6346 1st. Good to hear at least you have it installed. That's a start!  Is your computer a G5? I presume with DDR ram it is. And is it a desktop model or ibook or imac, etc.? BTW a firewall in OSX is "arguably" not really necessary. I rarely have mine turned on. Only if I'm browsing some possibly suspect sites will I turn it on. But that's me. Something about the mac community I think. Not quite as paranoid as windows users. |

| OK I have changed the LW listening port tp 6346. My computer is a G4 iMac Are you saying I have a firewall turned on and it isn't necessary. If this is the case how do I turn it off ? Also in the bottom left corner of LW I have the numbers 23 what does that stand for please. ? I have downloaded something that I can't delete, in itunes and I can't find it in my shared folder. Can you tell me how to deal with that or where to go to find out. Thank you |

| OSX firewall: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...86&postcount=5 23 will mean how many files you are sharing I suspect. That's how many files will be in your shared folder. Do you have iTunes set to automatically import songs? You can find it in iTunes if you arrange by date added; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...89&postcount=4 & another good one to see with sample image is this one http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...88&postcount=6 For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you. Then you can do whatever with it. BTW you might not be able to delete a file if it's being shared. You would need to close LW to delete it or else, unshare that file. You can do that by finding it in the Library window & control-click & choose stop sharing file. To delete a song in iTunes, select it, & press delete key. Then you'll have a choice between moving it to trash or just removing it from the iTunes list. But if you do that it will still be on your computer.
