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. |

| I got scam by filesharingcenter.com toofor 19.95. I am fighting paypal to stop the tranfer of my funds to this Christopher Carson who is running this Scam. Here is the email his tech service sent me.The service we provide is much more than just P2P software, we provide users with the latest versions of the most popular P2P software in one page, as well with tutorials on how to use them and how the get the most off them. There are also utilities available for download in our site, and different useful subpages like the CD-Covers links, the spyware killers, etc. Also, a very important part of our service is that we offer the users the technical support in case they have a problem or just a concern with one of the programs or any other material listed in our members area. Since we do not host the files themselves, but the files for the programs that will let you download them, the transfer rate is dependent on the user or server sending the specified file (multiple users and servers are available for download at the same time). Most users find the service very helpful. HOW TO START: We are not a music/movie file server. To start, you have to download one of the programs to file share. You will find these programs in the download section.. The set up instructios for that program you will find in the "Help & FAQ" section. To burn CDs you will find different programs it the utility section. Take your time and read the info we provide at the different sections. This is the procedure. 1. Go to File Sharing center 2. Login 3. Go to Download Music/Movie Center. Choose a program.and download it. We recomend Morpheus or Limewire. 4. Go to FAQ which is below the program. 5. Go to Utility Section. and download the spyware killer and the pop up stoper and install them. 6. Install the P2P program..... you choose to download. 7. Choose a Song/Movie to down load. Using the steps in the FAQ. Please contact us if you are still having trouble I hope Paypal can help me Cyclone16 |

| New Limewire scam site with a VERY similar web design as the official site, this is pure copy: http://www.limewiresoftware.com

Isn't the official LimeWire web site enough referenced in many download sites, and major search engines, or many MP3 sites? Does this scam affects too with other legitimate Gnutella servents (BearShare notably)? May be it's time to include in the downloadable installer a certificate which, when present, will avoid displaying alerts in search results. For any other installation of LimeWire, there would be some results that would immediately appear in searches, that would show a warning about the true download site of LimeWire. We need something to inform users in Gnutella, and a security feature bundled in the installer that would filter those administrative alerts. Of course this certificate would not be part of the open-source project. There's a need to collaborate with BearShare about something to detect abusive servents. One of the most useful thing would be really to create a Gnutella-promoted Chat system where users would interact and discuss directly, by adopting in the GDF some common IRC channels hosted by neutral IRC server. One advantage with IRC is that it can also work outside of Gnutella too from the web using one of the many IRC applets or ActiveX components. For now Gnutella users are too much isolated, and they are too much exposed to such threats, and there's a lack of education. Chatting was one of the effective reasons why the past P2P programs succeeded. The Chat option in LimeWire is too much basic, and limited to 1-to-1 without possibilities to create effective contacts between friends. |

| I know this post is old but I have a question about the website that was mentioned in this post..it was the www.filesharingcenter.com website..I was also suckered into purchasing the 19.95 package....It also listed 2 extra add on packages..For 9.95 per package, extra, you could download playstation 1 and 2 games and the other one was a program for buring your own dvd's...Can anyone give me any info on where I can download the ps games?..I dont want to be naive and pay the 9.95 extra for either of those.. |

| I got suckered in a long time ago when I discovered Morpheus - I paid 18.00 for the privledge of a free list of P2P's. But I did get a 1 year "membership" for what I don't know. Once I upgraded my brain I did a whois and found the actual owner of the site and sued in small claims and got court and bank costs plus 3x my purchase price back because the judge said the guy was a parasite. So I wound up with about $145 and a lot of wasted time. The point is, learn from your mistake and don't let these guys slide. Complaining is okay but you have to do something to stop these folks -- I like the hacking idea - but I don't condone it (not that there is anything wrong with that {Seinfeld - reference}) |

| Another thread 'Limewire clones' that probably fits in here also worth a mention. And there's a large list PLUS Shareaza clones. Clones is enough to trick people from getting what they may have been looking for. See: Limewire clones |
