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.

You've got a great set-up--can you see what eats up your CPU as shown in Process Viewer?

I just started up Limewire, and weird...

[I'm also running the LW 3.5.2jum206. Stief told me that the jum verisons would not be updated for a while, however, this one came out Sept 2, so I felt I could use it and still reliably report.]

During the loading process, where it refreshes the library, my CPU processor usage for LW jumped above 100%!

Strange. Setting a refresh rate of 1 second on the process viewer, the % usage jumps from 3%-110% and everything inbetween.

[Note, everything above is before I've reached the 4k user network limit]

Just a note, I'm just running LW, Safari, and the Carracho Server and browser. Also, I'm sharing 3200 files.

Alright, after I reached the 4k user limit LW stayed at around 5-8% CPU usage. It would hit a high of around 15% and a low of .7(!)%. Every once in a while, it would jump to the high 20s, and ever once in a great while, maybe to the high 50s.

Aha! I found something. Before this point, I had been running with advanced statistics off. Once I turned it on, my average cpu usage was around 25-35%.

I tried looking at the QRP Sent thing. It *seemed* that maybe when those peaked, I had higher usage, but to be honest, I really couldn't tell. It could've easily been something else that I wasn't aware of.

I hope this is helpful to people. If not, tell me what I'm doing wrong, and I'll try to do it right. It's about midnight now *chuckles*, so I ought to turn in. Night all.

I'm sharing around 3200 right now, and I don't seem to have any problems.
I've got 3.5.2 beta on a 1.7GHz/1GB WinXP box which seems stable with 14000 files. Mean CPU usage is < 20%. Prior to 3.5, more than 8000 files caused the app to crash after a few hours on the same system at > 50% CPU usage, but that could have been a local problem.

Update on my test:

After some 5, 6 odd hours running, when everything is minimized, my results are these:

It seems that it "wants" (however you phrase) to stay at around 6%, however, it jumps up to the fifteen and 20s (maybe once every 20 seconds). I'm refreshing at one sec in the process viewer. Also, more rarely It jumps to the 50s-80s. Can't examine anything more closely, cuz school calls, but later I shall.

FYI
With both 3.5.1-Pro and 3.5.2-Pro, I uncheck the option for "Load LW with Windows" in the installer, but a new LW icon still ends-up in the Startup folder.

Thanks for the head's up on the startup issue. This was working at one point, but subsequent changes I made appear to have broken it. I've just fixed it here, and the fix should go out with the next beta release.

Thanks again.

Thanks for everyone's help regarding performance issues as well. We didn't really make any performance improvements in the 3.5.x series, but we certainly did not intentionally do anything that could have had a negative performance impact. I'm glad to hear that users are able to share as many as 14000 files without a significant impact on performance, though.

That's really interesting that you see difference Window redraw rates with LW versus the JUM version. Do you have the stats open in both cases? Is it possible that you're simply looking more closely at this data than before?? We continually profile the application, so we'll continue profiling to make sure we haven't introduced any new issues. We may also be able to improve performance more for big sharers down the road.

As far as how many files is too many to share, this depends on a couple of factors, including the popularity of the keywords in your files and the capabilities of your machine. 14000 honestly seems a bit high to me, but the only potential problem would be using up too much of your CPU. So, what you're happy with in terms of CPU use is the ultimate benchmark -- I would recommend sharing up to the limit of how much CPU you would like to devote to LimeWire. If that gets too high, don't share quite so many files.

Thanks again for everyone's help.
