Forum Rules

Support Forums

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. To aid helpers in solving download/upload problems, LimeWire and Frostwire users must specify whether they are downloading a torrent file or a file from the Gnutella network.
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. 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.

ahhh i see your point
Like most people who initially enter a 'Forum' i supposed one asks questions, discusses issues etc. **Thats what a Forum is.** After reading your forum rules, i see were i went askew. I now realise this forum is actually a search engine, and shall abide accordingly with these terms.Also please note from forum rules 'If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.'
Btw the car thing, do you not understand analogies?
My LAST thing is this, and i have tried the search engine for this one, with no success. And I do expect an answer.
- Do they volunteers on this site have a team leader or manager? or a answerable authority? if so i require there contact details.
After reading your Forum rules , i beleive i must draw your attention to THE RULES, in particular
''3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.''
Being has been posted more than once within this post now. I class this as excessive. (Ref 'Birdy' 12.01pm 19.03.07, ref 'Wondering why' 1.18pm 19.03.07)
Lastly, and iam serious, (we all got better things to do,,maybe) i cant help but wonder, after all these replies etc,,wouldnt it have been quicker just to have answered my questions? but again , that is kinda beside the point as i now am familar with the term 'Forum' which is a search engine, if only i was told earlier. I shall no doubt find all the answers there somewhere, thank you so very much for your time.

You are a bit rude in your replies and quite frankly have deserved every response you have gotten WW answered you questions correctly in her first response and you came back with a rude response.

WW replied
Quote:
If you click on one of those incomplete files and click on resume it will resume...
As for all the other questions try using the search function, it works wonders...
Your response
Quote:
You obviously have not come across this issue.
perhaps you don't realize something - when limewire tells you it cannot restart old downloads ALL listing of unfinished downloads are NO LONGER PRESENT IN LIMEWIRE SCREEN THEREFORE-therefore , your response of 'click resume' seems,,iam not even going to bother saying.
Jeez, can someone who knows what going on, or has expereince with the issue of 'Limewire was unable to restart old downloads' reply and not just give me a snotty 'use the search function' or a a stupid reply of click resume -
Obviously incapable of understanding the instructions or the concept of going to you hard drive and finding the incomplete folder and clicking on a file. (Or to Lazy to do it.) By the way if you would have responded to the LOTR in this manner the odds are you would have been Banned by now.

You were told in the first post to use the search. Once again incapable of understanding the instructions. (Or too Lazy)

Well it happens at times but I would bet that if you were a volunteer here and got a response like the one you left. There is a pretty good chance the same thing would have happened. And with the attitude you have shown here my guess is 100% chance.

Now my attitude is after reading this thread is you can take a flying leap off a cliff. Why on earth would I or anybody else help a person like you.

Good Luck In Life

okay ive looked at a few things. specifically 1st 2nd and 3rd posts.
Maybe i didnt explain succintly, when i said my incomplete files had disappeared yet they were still in my folder - what I meant was- from the main limewire screen, they had disappeared ( ie from the 'search tab ').
Yes in my HDD incomplete folder they were still there. I Guess WW was referring to 'Resume' from the Library tab ( which, until mid post, i was not familar with in -any- way ). I thought she was telling me to 'Resume' a file that i had just said wasnt there.
Also it is not, in any way shape or form, possible to resume by clicking on an incomplete file in -my- HDD,, maybe its different in other peoples.
So -if- the above case if correct, and WW presumed i would know to goto the 'Library' tab, and responded with that in mind - I will apoligize to WW for my rude response. It stemmed from my ignorance of the system, how it works, and a feeling of being fobbed off (Note : i had never used the search button, within the Forum before, didnt really know its significance). And no i didnt read the Forum rules when I first entered the forum, who does? I assumed it was like what the word 'Forum' means, a place to discuss things, ask questions etc.). That cos iam new, and inexperienced.
As for the rest of my post,, iam not so sure i can apoligize for it all. Consider you are the professionals in this field, and you deal with inexperience/ignorant people - there is a way to do things when dealing with a naturally and understandably ignorant/ inexperienced people, in this case me. i dont expect mind readers but but i dont think its beyond the realm of reason for me to assume that a person that was could see that i wasnt all knowing and furthermore, see/guess **where** i may be coming from, / doing wrong. and thus diffuse the situation with knowledge ( i mean really- how many new people use the 'Library tab' or the 'Forums search' tab). But that doesnt excuse me, there is a way, even for and ignorant/inexperienced person to act.
But some of my points are valid, additionally, 2 wrongs dont make a rhyme.
I no longer wish to continue this post - its getting way kinda lame now. Iam moving on. Ive apoligized somewhat, and I, to some extent , admit the error of my ways. Sorry also i broke the forum rules, I only broke them from not knowing them. WW on the other hand knew the forum rules, and whilst telling me of them, decided to break her own rules. That is not professional. Now I am aware of them, iam cool with them. Pls no more reponses, i tend to feel obliged to respond, and truly, this post is now a waste of this forums space - iam sure there are lots of new people needing help to their questions
Btw Grandpa - to answer your questions/statements in order - 1,,I believe i mentioned somewhere (prior to this current post ) in this whole muck that i had tried going to HDD and resuming - dontwork - but thank you for trying to insult me ( too lazy too ). very professional. 2 I beleive if LOTR hadve been first to reply this whole thing would not have escallated to thispoint 3,, trying to insult again, not worth my time, 4,,highly doubtful . 5,,not necessary, not asked nor will be again.
Enuf!
