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.

Default General questions

Hello
*no one seems to have replied to my previous post, so here it is again - my mian issue is prob i) . Pls help if u know the answer or direct me to someone that can*
i) Limewire, upon computer loading, tells me 'Sorry Limewire was unable to restart old downloads' . Whats up with this? Have i lost these download strings? Ima pretty sure i havent cos Ive looked in the Incomplte folder and they are there
ii) does limewire have a minimal disk space required on hard drive its installed on to run effectively and efficiently? ie 20gig or higher?
iii) is it possible to change were Limewire stores incomplete downloads to a different folder without re-installing limewire ?
iv) How come i can find a file name whilst browsing another persons shared files, yet not find file of same name in vairous search types from limewire main search screen?
v) what is the default folder limewire will create an incomplete folder if one doesnt change it during setup?
vi)the incomplete file folder. If one moves all files from this folder to elsewhere, then decides to move files back,,is it important to include the .bat and .bak files with same group of files? or can one say just pic an incomplete file, and move it back to the Incomplete folder ie does the incomplete file require the .bat and .bak files to be re-recognizred ny limewires main search screen?
vii)how come the peview files dont delete themselves from the incomplete folder onces download is complete?
viii) does having large amounts of files waiting to be downloaded cause instabilty in the limewire programme - is seems to in my case

Regards
Eskai

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...

You obvously have not come across this issue.
perhaps you dont realise something - when limewire tells you it cannot restart old downloads ALL listing of unfinished downloads are NO LONGER PRESENT IN LIMEWIRE SCREEN THEREFORE-therefore , ur 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 -

wow, i do beleive we are getting somewhere. like pulling teeth.Could this be love.
Anyways
1..files were not in the Limewire library ( but yet they are on my HDD)
2..There is No option i can see to resume these files from my HDD
3..yes the incomplete strings are on my hdd as i said. They are not, however, listed within the limewire interface, nor the limewire library incomplete files partition.

So i did the following
:- moved all mi incomplete strings elsewhere. Rebooted. Moved strings back in incomplete folder ( including .bak & .dat files ) . Rebooted. The result was - whilst they do not appear within the limewire main interface, they did however appear in the limewire library incomplete files partition, but when one selects 'Resume' one is told 'file ????? is not a valid incomplete folder and cannot be resumed'.
As to my other questions, i guess the word 'limewire forum' is dabateable. 'Forum' being a place where people can come discuss issues, ask questions, receive answers yes?
As compared to a 'Library' where one searches for info/data with little to no assistance

I suggest you volunteer for something else.
When you volunteered,,what ,,pray tell, did you expect?
DId you not think you may have to answer questions that may become repeatative?
Did you not think it may consume some portion of your time
Did you not think you should have a sound understanding of the product and related issues?

I suggest you perhaps consider re-educating yourself following LordoftheRings attitude towards being a volunteer, one who truly deserves the title 'moderator' - if anyone needs help seek him out. if i knew how i would, but a dare not ask another question.
Anyway, Limewire volunteer, I would be overjoyed if i 'owned' a product and my 'volunteers' were the ones responsible for the 'decrease' in my customer base.

eskai,

You owe WW an apology here. She has the position of Moderator for a reason (as do all the Mods here)...she has a good knowledge of LW & a long history of helping people on this forum. Don't be so rude & disrespectful.

Every Mod & helper on this forum will, at some stage, tell posters to use the forum search rather than asking questions that have been answered before. We are all human & sometimes get p*ssed off with answering questions, when a simple search of the forum by the poster could have answered their queries.

Apoligize ? i think not birdy.
You are asking me to apoligize for what? for expecting a representative of your company ( i say your as u represent it too ) to assist me in 'your' product? To be basically told by a represenative, now 2, that they cannot be bothered replying? just like no one could be 'bothered' to reply to my exact same posting apx 5 days ago? And now one telling me, and i quote 'get p*ssed off with answering questions,'.
I ask again
When you volunteered,,what ,,pray tell, did you expect?
DId you not think you may have to answer questions that may become repeatative?
Did you not think it may consume some portion of your time
Did you not think you should have a sound understanding of the product and related issues?
**
Let me run this by you
You buy a car
You use that car
You come to rely on that car
you wake up one day and car inexplicably isnt working soundly anymore,
You contact place of purchase, go to the service desk or customer relations desk, ask them whjat wrong with your car, they tell you - go over to that table there thats full of papers and find the answers yousself, we couldnt be bothered expending 5 seconds to answering ur question as ive answered it with other people before.
**
What did you think this job involved??????????????????????????????????
