Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you
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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

Default Running LimeWire on Vista

I just installed LimeWire Pro 4.13.0 on Windows Vista Ultimate x64. I first tried installing by just clicking on the installer and it hung on installing Java.

I then went to the Java site and downloaded Java 6 x64 version and again tried installing LimeWire once again the LimeWire installer tried to install Java and hung.

I then went back to the Java site and installed Java 6 JRE (32 bit) using the offline installer. I then tried installing LimeWire it installed without any Problems.

When I started LimeWire it showed a firewall in front of the globe and only connected to 2 host. I then checked the windows firewall and made sure it was allowed in the exceptions which it was.

I then configured my router for both port forwarding and upnp forwarding the globe disappeared and I got a turbo connection. I then did a search for a large file and started Downloading a file 200 MB file within 2 minutes I had 10 connections and I am currently downloading the file at 150 KB/s 50% done in 7 minutes so LimeWire works fine with Vista.

You can get Java 6 at the link below.

I jsut got a new computer yesterday and DL limewire just fine. Problem is that when I open limewire, it states that it's waiting for a connection and that I may be behind a firewall. Fine, I've tried to clear that issue up in McAfee by having it recognize the port and make an exception for limewire.

Also - it kills my internet connection when it's open so that I can't surf the web. Any clues how to fix this?

If you want to use LimeWire you will need to uninstall McAfee or try the fixes for McAfee in the link below.

Thanks chepartner. I'll give 'er a try tonight when I get home. Hoefully this will resolve the issue.

Does this mean though, that I won't have a firewall? Are there any security concerns there?

Thanks!

You can use the Vista Firewall. I have not looked to see if Zone Alarm has a Vista compatible firewall or not. But if they do they have a very good product and it is free.

Hiya, Im from the uk, I have no mcafrees or any other firewall apart from windows one on my system. I downloaded the new beta version of limewire.. It all works fine and and installed fine. But the only problem is, is the download speed is so slow. The globe on limewire has a firewall infront of it but i have told windows firewall to allow limewire.

I have homehub router/modem. You suggested to allow your router to allow limewire. But i dont know how to do this..

I also have new java installed so is not that either..

My harddrive also goes mad with buzzing noices everytime i download a song from limewire as if its working in overdrive, Even though its brandnew pc and only a day old.

Could someone tell me step by step how to config my router and firewall.

Thankyou
