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.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

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.

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.

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.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. 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.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. 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.

No much you can do with OS 9 (or classic). Download the classic LW version there http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...oadfree2.shtml

No torrent program on OS9 known.

Ciao

& OS 9 updates http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288

Don't forget to rebuild desktop after installing new software. ie: reboot whilst holding down Command + Option keys.

A list of bit torrent programs are here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari...rrent_software

But I think you'll find none are compatible with OS 9. And besides, OS 9 has a file size limit of about 2 GB. And also besides, OS 9 programs are getting harder to get now.

For anything under that size, you can probably get it on the gnutella network anyway. There's different p2p networks & gnutella is one of them.

The torrent support brought into the LW betas will only run on OSX.

Torrents are different to a network like gnutella. Whilst LW Beta has only just added a torrent option, that's not it's main thing. The main thing is the gnutella network sharing.

For OS9, search .sit & see what you come up with.

Also, to be on the safe side, Arrange search results by size (click on link) so the largest files are at the top of the search results. As you know, any program is going to be larger than 2,000 KB (2 MB)

Are you looking for softw for OS 9 or another OS? The no. of OS 9 users/sharers out there is getting smaller every year. I did such a search & most apps are for OSX, only a few that can be run in OS9 & with the carbon extension (carbon programs can run in both OS 9 & OSX, but you'd need to do research to find out which ones & which versions.) There are still OS 9 games out there.

For anything outside of gnutella, you really need to upgrade to OSX to get such options such as bit torrent. The only other alternative I can think of is Myster http://www.mysternetworks.com/ but that network is quite small. But was still active last year when I tried the program last. I used Myster before using LW 4-5 yrs ago. There's still an OS 9 version available. AFAIK the program stopped development a couple of years ago.

Dear Lord of the Rings,

I just signed up to this site and have no idea how to post a question. My question sort of relates to this question here.

This is the scenerio. I have an PowerbookPC G4 and I want to load Tiger OSX 10.4 onto my older iMac slot loading G3 which uses OS 9.2 and has a CD drive and reads DVD's. What I've been doing up to this point and failing is I've been downloading torrents on my Powerbook (ie. OSX 10.4 iso's, retail, etc whatever I can find). Then I've tried burning them to CDR and DVDR using both Toast and Disc Utility and then when I put them in my iMac G3 drive they will read and open up but when I try to install the OSX it says the file that created it cannot be found. Is there a way around this. I've also tried it by restarting the iMac and holding down the C key while it opens.

So today I installed Limewire OS for Classic and downloaded some more OSX 10.4 zip files etc. and they show up as a white sheet of paper on my desktop and of course won't open up.

Help?? Or do I just have to go buy a Mac OSX 10.4 install disc?

Thanks,

Spiral Girl

We can't discuss this here in public. This is known as Warez.

The white icons is because you don't have a program that recognises the files. You'd need a unzip program. In OS 9 I liked this freeware program MacZip: http://www.tucows.com/preview/206993 & just drag & drop files onto them to either zip them or unzip them. I found it more reliable than stuffit expander & stuffit deluxe which wasn't always readible by windows users.

You'd need to send me a personal message by clicking on my username.

BTW which country are you from? My guess is Canade. BTW be careful of Shaw. They are reknown to shape bandwidth of those who use excessive amounts with p2p programs.
