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.

Sorry Thorn but I don't use VLC. I don't think you should try to watch while downloading though. Wait until it is complete and then try to Launch. If you have VLC set up to play this type of file it should pop up when launched. Hope this helps.

While in Limewire, Click on library tab. Now click on Explore; bottom left corner. This will take you to your saved/shared folder which is where your files are on the HDD.
You say "off of Limewire"?? You do not want to delete any file from Limewire unless you don't want it anymore. Deleteing files in Limewire will delete file from HDD.

For fast & easy access to your downloads once they have 100% finished downloading, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you. For videos, all you should need to do is double-click them.

To preview incomplete files, they will only preview as much or less than you have downloaded. So if you have downloaded 10% of a 120 minute video, then you will only be able to view 8-12 mins worth. Files that download don't necessarily download from the beginning of the video to the end, but may download part of the beginning, part in middle part near the end, etc. *** -> I would recommend instead of using the Preview button (which creates preview files in your incomplete folder & wastes space on your drive), that instead, you go to your Library window, select Incomplete folder, list the files in alphabetical order by name (press name tab at top of column) & find the video you are wanting to preview. Once found, select it & press the Launch button. This will save you from cleaning out junk preview files from your incomplete folder at a later time. (Preview files are named like this: eg: PREVIEW-0170000-title.mpg)

To set VLC as your default video player, see this link for instructions Setting Default video app

I use Limewire too. I open all of my songs with Winamp (you could use any mp3 player) and then I burn them onto a rewritable CD (CD-RW), then I import the songs to iTunes. Not only are the songs in iTunes, but I also have iTunes set to import songs at 128 kbps. That's CD quality, anything more just wastes space on your hard drive. Then I put them on my iPod. If you used a rewritable CD, you can just erase it when you are done. It can be a pain to do this, but a lot of songs on Limewire are more than 128 kbps
