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 LimeWire 3.7.1 Beta!

The long-awaited beta release of LimeWire 3.7.1 is finallly available! This version includes a number of new features and updates, including:

- Support for international searches. Users can now search for and share files for all languages!
- Better connections. This version will monitor your connections and make sure that you stay connected, addressing the connection problems affecting so many users.
- A new search progress bar in each search tab that indicates the progress of your search.
- New button linking to the LimeWire MagnetMix site for promoting the use of the MAGNET protocol for efficient distribution of content on the Gnutella network.
- Fix for problem where new search results would deselect the selected result.
- The use of the Apache Jakarta Project's HttpClient open source program for making HTTP requests.
- The mp3 player can now play all bitrates and performs better.
- More fault-tolerant downloading.
- Improved efficiency of indexing between LimeWires and other clients.
- More efficient distribution of host information throughout the network.
- More robust firewall detection.
- Better statistics for connections.
- New Linux-style release cycle. All odd release numbers are now in the beta series (all 3.7.x versions will be betas), with full releases coming as even ".0" versions. So the next official LimeWire release will be LimeWire 3.8.0.

That's about it. If any beta testers have been experiencing connection problems, can you specify which ISP you're on? Thanks to everyone as always for their tremendous help testing the betas.

As always, the betas are available at:

http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...loadfree.shtml

For pro users, you can access the beta from your pro download page.

Thanks again.

Thumbs down Limeshop

Well it looks that you've included limeshop on mac osx basic.... beside the fact that mac people won't like it (who would ), it should'nt be THAT difficult to uninstall. I mean I trashed the lime prefpane, then I had to forcequit the process java process to empty the trash (Lw was quit previously). Now everytime I start LW the sh process is getting all the CPU it can, I have to force quit it. Shouldn't LW stop trying opening Limeshop when it isn't there anymore? That should be easy to uninstall so people technically orientated (those who complain on mac forums like macnn.com) won't bitch much about spyware introduced on mac (a first!) by LW. Expect much bitching on that when that news gets well spread (and the limeshop shouldn't take so much cpu cycles doing nothing BTW).
(Edit: I launched LW another time and this time the process sh wasn't lauched: good!)


On an other matter, I tried a couple of magnet links and right after I killed them. Now every time I open LW, these files go in the download window, which is pretty annoying.

Also I tried French caracters searching on a lan (two LW connected by Rendez-vous) and it works very well. A definite + for me.

All for now
Ciao

Default Shareaza

Salut Blackbird, I tried in UP this morning, and it does it again. You just have to get a Shareaza leaf.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll keep an eye out for the Shareaza leaf issue. On the LimeShop front, we'll definitely make sure to not eat any CPU if you've manually removed it. -- thanks for pointing it out.

We'll also look at the magnet issue.

LimeWire 3.7.x also decreases the amount of time spent in the 'Saving File' state of downloading. Mac Classic users had been mentioning that the 'Verifying File' and 'Saving File' states took too long. Please let us know if this has fixed atleast part of the problem.

Thanks.

Well, to answer your questions.

I pulled out my old original ibook running OS 9.2.2. Downloaded the 3.7 MB snoodsetup.exe file (magnet hosted). The verification process took a long time. Virtually no time for saving. I accounted this to the ibook being 300mghz.

For comparison, running classic on my current system, it took about 1 second per 3% of verifying file done and no time for saing file. To run as a control, I dled the same file on my jumOSX version. It took no time verifying file. For all I know, it didn't even do it it went so fast.
