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 Documents in my Shared folder aren't being shared.

Hi, I'm trying to put my bands' music on Limewire, so people can download it. I've put my MP3's in the shared folder:

C: > Documents and Settings > My User Name > Shared

But whenever I search for my bands' music on other computers, it never comes up.

Example: I'll have two computers bother connected to LW at the sametime. One of the computers will have the mp3's in the shared folder, and i'll search LW with the other computer. But my songs still don't come up!

What gives?

And yes I've enabled the files to be shared by right clicking on them and selecting "share."

Thanks for any help.

It's not always possible to find some files in a search (simply due to the size of the network & which ultrapeers you're connected to).

Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall in front of the blue globe)?

In LW go tools > options > bug reports > view example. Scroll down to 'recieved incoming this session'...is it true or false? If it's false then you can't recieve incoming connections from other computers & chances are that other users can't download from you. In that case, or if you see the firewall icon, please give us your details & we might be able to help a bit more.

No. No brick wall.

Hmmm. I don't see the phrase "recieved incoming session" anywhere. The only thing I even see that is similar is: "ever_accepted_incoming=true"

Note: Other users can dowload files from me. The only files I'm having a problem with our my bands' mp3's. They don't turn up in search results. I've tried searching from many different computers.

Have you edited the "tag" on your mp3s to include the band name, album, track #, etc.

Just curious...

Could you post the name of these files, so we can try to search for them?

Not everyone has access to all of the files on the network...you could go into the 'connections' tab and remove the hosts when you can't find your files. New ultrapeers will be generated for you and you can try searching again.

Good Luck

Dan

Try to direct connect to the computer with the files on it. If you can't connect then chances are it's a firewall issue or your isp is shaping your bandwidth. If you can connect then your files are being shared and you should try to be patient.

After a few searches, I believe I've come up with a match. I searched under all types for 'serein .mp3' and came up with 2 files titled '03 sereine', which match your song number.

The first one connected, went to 1%, and then said 'waiting on busy hosts.'
The second one automatically went to 'waiting in line, position 4'

I'll let you know if I'm successful in downloading either of them.
Tried searching for several other songs in the same way with no luck.

What are your upload settings, i.e. bandwidth and slots? Are you currently downloading?

The files I found have sizes of 5,030 and 5,028 kB. Is this the size of your song?
