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. 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.

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.

Default Bizarre Limewire Issue

Hey guys, just wanted to start this thread off by saying thanks for creating LimeWire - I love it!

My problem I've been having is this: Whenever I run LimeWire, my entire system slows to a crawl. It's not just LimeWire, but my whole system. When I go to the task-manager, it says that LimeWire is using anywhere from 90% of CPU resources to 100% of CPU resources. It's extremely bizarre, and I've tried everything including re-installing LimeWire. I've even tried that trick where you delete the .limewire folder in the "C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\.limewire" folder.

If someone could help me out, that'd be very appreciated. Thanks!

What version of java (latest is 1.5)?
What CPU speed?
How many ongoing downloads?

At the bottom right, how shared files numbers are displayed? ie 1) 270 shared files or 2) 105/270 shared files

(if 2 let your computer hash files -compute unique identity- and show the 1) option before checking the cpu usage)

Bonne chance

Right now, I am running Java 1.4.2

My CPU is an Athlon 2800+, but I don't remember what it's running at (somewhere in the 2.1 Ghz area).

Ongoing downloads are about 20.

At the bottom left of the screen, it says "Sharing 45 files"

you should use java 1.5 its faster http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp (take jre not sdk).

20 ongoing dl is a bit high, try to pause some and see if the cpu usage goes down, LW should not use more than 5% of your processor.

ciao

Thanks for the help guys! I'll try reducing the number of downloads, and if that doesn't work I'll try installing Java 1.5.

I'll get back on here & post my results as soon as possible.

Edit: Oh, and by the way, my RAM is 512 MB and my video card is a Radeon 9700 Pro, if that helps

Please excuse the double post, but I am posting the results of my attempts to fix my Limewire issue.

I tried installing Java 1.5, and I tried pausing *all* of the downloads in my download que, and neither of those worked for me

In the mean time, I went into the Task Manager and set LimeWire's priority to "Low" so that I can still do other tasks while it's running (but the computer is still slow acting).

Any other suggestions guys?

Check out this link. Limewire start up problems

The ATI catalyst seems to have problems for some reason.

I'm fairly certain that it isn't a video card problem, as my CPU is bearing most of the load when LimeWire is running like this (hence, the Task Manager saying that I'm using 99% of CPU resources during running Limewire)

Edit: At any rate, I tried setting my video card to "optimal" performace, and that didn't work. Then I tried setting it to the defaults, and that didn't work. I still haven't tried rolling back the driver, but frankly I don't want to do that.

Hmmm that is up to you I have a Radeon display adapter and that is how I resolved my conflicts. The catalyst has problems. The drivers and control panel work well.

I also had problems with the ATI catalyst on other graphic intentense programs that use Java.

As a side note. I also suffered some stuttering/hesitation while playing some games with out any other programs running, while using the ATI catalyst, but worked fine with the control panel.
