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 ....... 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

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.

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.

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.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

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.

Thanks, it must be something else going on. I just downloaded a song, and I click on it and it won't play. Other songs in red will play if I click on them in the library. A few songs have done this, some of them play right away, others won't start.

Hi Dann and Welcome to the Gnutella Forums.
Not sure how long you've used LW but there are Tons of Viruses, Worms, Fake and Corrupted Files on the Gnutella Network. I would assume this might be what you are experiancing.
These Forums offer more info on this subject than I can begin to tell you. You might use the Search Function to get more valuable info. It is also a good idea to filter a few File Extensions that are known to be hazardous to your computers health. You can find all of this info by doing a few searches. Hope this Helps.

Thanks again. I'm wondering if I should reinstall Limewire completely. If I click on a song in my playlist, it plays a different song. If I want the whole playlist to play, it stops after a couple songs. It was playing two songs at once if you can believe that.

Are you using the LW Player ?? It is highly recommended that you use an alternitive Media Player as the LW Player is nothing but JUNK. See Link below.

Disable the LW Player and make VLC Media Player the Default Player

CODECs list for Movies/Audio/ Alternate players / Video help forums/ video-mp3 fixers

Within that thread is a link to download VLC player...it's free & has codecs installed to play most file types. It's a very reliable player

MAJOR TOPICS for Upload/Download HELP. There's multiple reasons as Remoc suggested why the files might not play. When you search music, in the search results, make sure you see a bit rate otherwise they are most likely not really music files. But still, some files show bit rate but are corrupted.

To be sure your freshly downloaded files are always not red, you could do this: Tools > Options > Sharing & choose whether or not to immediately share your downloads. I prefer not to use this option because I like to check the files first. Then share selected folders from my music library.

Thanks again!!!! Is there any comments on Windows Media Player? I have that already of course, and most of the songs play on it. The old Monkees song I wanted wouldn't play, I think it was corrupt. (OK so I'm old, I also like Collie Budz mon...)Appreciate all the help.....

I myself refuse to use WMP. It's a PITA. Always needs Codec's or something. Also has to open a new window just to play anything.
My player opens exactly where I play the file. No waiting on another window to open.
To eaches own.
