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 Beta 4.9.7 not resuming downloads

Greetings, some people have witnessed that LimeWire downloads do not resume even when doing a search and finding a source for the file.

We'd like to get as much feedback on this as possible. Feel free to send us any information you can - here are few suggestions of what would be helpful:

1. Did you restart LimeWire after starting the download, before it got stuck? If Yes - what state was the download before you restarted, and what was it afterwards?
2. Did you click on Find more sources, and did the download ever change from "Waiting for sources..." ?
3. How many other downloads did you have active?
4. How many "Possible hosts" did the download have? If you had to restart LimeWire, did that number change?
5. Did you start the download from a search result, magnet, or did you resume it from a previous incomplete file?
6. If you did a search: did the icon on the search result for the download change to a folder or torn paper? Did the number of "Possible hosts" change after receiving the search result?

Another thing that will help us is to get a stack trace. Instructions how to do that on Windows are in a sticky thread on top of this forum.

Again, thank you for your feedback. There probably will be more information we will need to nail this bug down, so this posting may get updated.

- The LimeWire dev team.

1)I guess the trick is to start a download, let it download for a couple of minutes, shutdowning LW then restart it.

2)no

3)0

4)search result

5)don't remember the icon, yes got more sources through the mesh afterwards

I had 124 known sources, upon restart LW tried 3 of those sources it remembered (low number?) 2 were invalid, one was and it was a LW 4.9.4

Here is the stack trace will after start up LW was trying to connect to hosts for resuming the download.

From what you are saying seems like LimeWire did eventually resume the download, or is that not the case?

It resumed from one host that was not connected to the download mesh, meaning a one host dl even knowing there was many more sources on Gnutella. There is too much of a sources forgetting here.

I have one question: why in library, in the column sources, it indicates only the # of sources that are under the "other valid sources" section of help bubbles (what is the term in english?) when you let your mouse over the download? Shouldn't sources you dl from actually be counted as sources in the library? Does LW actually consider the sources you are downloading from to resume downloads?

Ciao

Item by item checklist.

1. I started and restarted LimeWire (exit program) when it would freeze. I would stop (cancel) a download when it froze (downloading 0 kb) and go back to the original file, click on download and it would start right where it left off at 25%, 45%, or 75% or whatever complete.

2. Clicked to find more sources. changed to queded, to waiting 299 sec to need more sources at the same time my search panel is showing me numerous sources available.

3. I had 7 downloads listed but only 3 were downloading actively if you call 1 to 2 kb active. I previously was doing quite a bit better with 4.9.5, with speeds of 100+ on some.

4 After restarting LimeWire I HAD to do another search to get the max number of resources available to download from. Sometimes the number would vary but not substantually.

5. I would usually wait to see if the file would retart. Some did, some didn't. I would do another search for the same file and if the file restarted fine, but usually i didn't.

6. torn paper most of the time. So I killed the download, and restarted it at which time it showed me an open folder and the download restarted at the last known position.
