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.

I followed the instructions for the firewall you gave me, and got everything else sorted out. I tried using LW for a short while and all went well.I didn't get back to LW until this morning and now it opens, but before I can even start to use it - it shuts down.
I followed the instructions given in the posting below mine, took out the preference folder of LW and deleted it. I then did a disk permissions and software update, nothing. Did a restart and still nothing!! Strange that it actually worked for awhile before I changed the firewall according to your instructions.

If you have the start up disk, start up with the one that has utilities folder on it. To start up with such a disk, hold down C key whilst booting. THen go to utilities folder & open Disk Utility. Do NOT repair permissions from this disk because the permissions will be different. Instead use Repair Disk option. Hopefully this will repair whatever's wrong. Then reboot normally & try again.

Out of curiosity may I ask which state you're living in.

I've got an old powerbook but I have 10.4.8 on it and the updated Java. I thought I would have a go at downloading LW onto this and am coming up against the same problems.
Does this mean it is happening to many of us? I have just downloaded the 1st new address and I got the same thing, it opened up but nothing came into the main window. Because I am having the same trouble on 2 computers I feel it might be something I am not doing. I feel it might be the firewall is there anyway I can send you screenshots?

Are you sure you have UPnP enabled on your Linksys device? Double-check.

Go to LW's prefs, keyboard shortcut is apple/command key & comma ,

Go to advanced -> Firewalls & check that it's set to UPnP.

Go to Speed setting & disable ultrapeer settings. Set the speed which is equivalent to your connection speed. I set it at modem because my speed is only 256 kbps. Likewise make appropriate settings in slider for downloads & uploads options.

Go to Connections & disable connect at start up. Instead, wait a few mins after opening. Then go to File menu -> Connect.

You can post attachments in your post if you wish. Max size is 100 KB per image & 5 images per post. You need to press Post Reply or Go advanced to get image attachment options.

Yes UPnP is enabled. When I went to Limewire Preferences and advanced the listening port was 41455, it definitely was 6346 before. Anyway I did change it. Now the speed settings I set to modem, I have 512 but I had it set DSL before and it didn't work so I changed it. Ultra peer and OOB I have checked. Downloadbandwidth and upload bandwidth had the slider set to 100%.
I unchecked connect on startup

This is the message I got.
Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network.
Also there is still the redbrick wall behind the blue ball in the LW window.

Default Limewire won't install

Disk copy should be in disk utility right?
I have been going over your posts doing the steps one by one on my laptop. I came across the disk copy step and the way your looks is very different to mine. I decided to include a screen shot so you could see where I am and what I am talking about.

Your image is disk utility. Disk Utility & Disk Copy are 2 different programs. However Disk Utility can do a few of the things Disk Copy can do anyway. Both can be found in the Utilities folder. Arrange the utilities folder by list & you'll probably see both side by side.

I notice you have LW jum mounted. Are you running LW from the mounted image or from your applications folder?
