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.

Unhappy LimeWire 2.7.3 a CPU hog??

I usually run LimeWire on a computer with a 700MHz cpu. Up until I upgraded to 2.7.3 (from 2.6.5, I think) I've noticed that LimeWire gets REALLY bogged down CPU wise. Spikes, sure, but then periods of 5+ seconds of LimeWire being frozen, clicks do nothing, CPU at 100% and then LimeWire "catches up" and CPU goes down to normal (1-5%).

Anybody else see this?? Is this normal? I wouldn't have thought 700MHz was "too slow" to run an app like this.. but I dunno!

Interestingly enough, I had one file that was "downloading from 5 hosts" at a nice steady pace of 0k. I killed that download .. and now CPU usage is back in the totally-normal range.

A bug perhaps?

Unhappy Same here

After two days of running 2.7.3 Pro, it ate up almost all CPU resource. GUI response was terrible (throughout the OS)

Exiting Limewire solved the problem (after a while) mem slowly dropped from 35 MB downto 30 and after that it was almost instantly removed from the task list.

Btw. did previous Limewire versions also take up this much mem? It's using 28.5 MB right now :-(
And it's running as a leaf...

Either that, or the download was almost complete and LimeWire started calculating its SHA-1 hash, to add it to LimeWire's shared files.

No, I have been having the exact same issues, both under 2.6.5 and 2.7.3 (Pro). I'm running OS X 10.1.5 on a dual G4/450 with 768MB of RAM. This system bogs down the same way, taking five seconds to show what I'm switching to, refresh the screen, etc.

It may be something to do with the Java 2 implementation on OS X, but as the original poster didn't say which exact Win OS he's using, hard to tell. All I know is, I've been using 2.7.3 Pro for three days now, and last night, the slow down started, and has not gotten any better after a full system reboot and a cache clearing...

Addendum: I, too, am having the 0K problem on some connections, and it'll happen in the middle of a download, and you can't force a RESUME, and if you KILL the download, you're starting over from scratch, even if you go to your library and RESUME the incomplete file. This is getting ridiculous, I've paid, and I'm thinking it's time to give Acquisition and Shareaza a try...

Thumbs down

Each version is worse than the last!

My machine has 800mhz processor and a gig of ram. Lamewire manages to run it self into the ground everytime.

This should be about file sharing not debugging- thumbs down on QA and Dev.

And as long as I am bitching... the install is lousy too. I expected it to clean up its old directories, delete icons, find the previous paths... 'fraid not. I guess commercial only means they get money... where is the Quality?

Angry 2.7.3 is a CPU hog

I'm running Win2K, 1.3 GHz, 768MB RAM, and now that I've "up"-graded to 2.7.3, LimeWire hogs all my CPU for at least 10 seconds. Eventually everything unfreezes, but it always happens again and again and again and again... This is regardless of whether I'm downloading. I don't have to reboot or anything that dramatic but it's really freaking annoying!!

Question They should play...

Yes, songs in your playlist should play when you hit the > button on the LimeWire MP3 Player.

I would suggest you go to Tools>Options>Player and make sure the box "Use LimeWire MP3 Player" is checked off.

Hope this helps.
