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 New Mac Classic - 4.0.9

We've released a new version of LimeWire for Mac Classic users. The new version is 4.0.9, and it upgrades some of the code to be more inline with ther current 4.4 version for other operating systems.

4.0.9 removes the upgrade prompt as well, so that you won't be annoyed with reminders to upgrade to a version that doesn't exist.

Thanks.

Thanks sberlin, for taking the time to clean up the old Classic version.

For nostalgia's sake, I ran both the regular and the Pro for a while

here are just a few quick notes:

Despite Downloads.com reporting it as 4.0.8, it really is 4.0.9. The Pro version is 4.0.9 too.

--FWIW, Classic locks up when trying to change the port (I had to edit the limewire.props file to add the line "PORT=xxxxx", which worked).

--Command -Q resulted in a type 3 error, but the File menu "Close" item worked properly.

--Ethernet uploads triggered a few bug reports. Perhaps options should probably be set now to "Always Discard Bugs" as the default

--If Classic is disallowed from operating as an Ultrapeer, trimming that code might save some download size too.

--uploads and swarming sucked. Popular files barely swarmed at all in comparison to OS X
Even though the Classic Finder truncated long names with stuff like #IDxxx for completed downloads, the proper names showed in the Library and uploaded to an OS X machine with the full filenames.

--searches and downloads were as quick (the quicker gui made them seem even better than OS X)

cheers. Thanks--that was fun working in OS 9 again, but the quicker gui makes java on OS X seem really sluggish now.

http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...loadfree.shtml

downloads.com still hasn't updated the article, but the file should be 4.0.9 (or whatevr happens to be the latest) when installed.

btw--did you ever find that extension conflict? I had the same when I rebooted into 9, and realized I hadn't turned off all the 4 FaxStF extensions.

I used "Sort by Package" in the Extensions Manager to make sure I got all the pieces.

The extensions pertain to fax softw found in your Apple Extras folder. These extensions are not necessary if you don't use that fax softw & have a history of conflicting with Limewire. I totally removed the extensions from my computer. Stief disabled them so they're in the Extensions (Disabled) folder.

You forgot to mention several details such as how your previous version also crashed the same way: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=34284 SO what's the go? Not enough ram probably eh? You never did tell us many details: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...?s=&forumid=29
I'd be looking at your own computer set up if all versions of LW are crashing on it. You probably also ignored everything that was said earlier in this thread right? So which obsolete version of Java are you using?

Wow something must really be wrong at your end of the stick. Ever thought about trying to find out what's wrong with your computer?

I have 512 worth of RAM and I did not ignore the previous posts. I looked for the Fax software to turn it off and didn't see it. I'm definitely not an expert in this so if I sound like a laymen, I am. Just not sure how it worked one night and then the next it doesn't. Oh well, I tried.
