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 search field and autoupdate? plzzz

this program is cool, really. But there's still problems to deal with, especially when dealing with the search field.
i.e., when i insert a word to check the hosts for a certain file; my search results are not what i expect them to be, as i see the main window filled with porn movies and crap like that. Surely, sometimes it even works, but just very very seldom. most of the times the search result window gets filled up with files that do not even contain a single word of the ones i may have writen in the searchbox. This is really frustrating sometimes. Imagine if some friend finds you having a window full of wicked filenames... that's embarrassing, really.
but, up now, everything has been going great.
What i do not understand is that this kewl prgm lacks the update option. It's a shame to always need to visit the homepage to get to know that a new version might have been released whilst you've been suffering under some certain bugs of the software(such as the search results, for instance)... Now, it's 3 days i've discovered about limeware, thought i had the latest version, but today i see a new version winking at me; which i am afraid to install upon the existing software, since i have about 5 uncompleted files unleashed in my pooter. Am afraid to lose what i've been sipping from others' leaks within these three days...
I hope the developers of limewire will be as kind as to offer us the autoupdate option... anyway, they've done a great job so far... best regards...

1) you should really choose the media type of the file your looking for.

2) the auto update mechanism has already been added to the beta releases. the next version should support full downloads of the installer off the network IIRC.

Default really

i did get limewire from this site; i actually got the beta version 3 days ago, but seemingly i didn't have the one i supposed to have got. As for the issues you have so kindly tried to answer above...
Yes, now I do have the version 9.24b... To be honest? I donot see any updates(let alone autoupdates) option anywhere in this softie. Really, there's just a little option that you may tick in order to be notified of other new versions or beta versions...
As for the search issue... Really, honestly i do try it that way. firstly i check the kind of file i will be searching for, then i type down the possible name of that file, or the exact name of it... But still, the same things appear all the time.
You could just try by using common words that in reality have nothing to do with pornography; such as: apokalypse, etc, and see the results yourself.
Or, try to look for the same file as i have done, "they call me trinity"... i believe, whatever your inquery be in the searchfield, the results will be overfloaded with porn...
Anyway, thankyou for taking your time and answering me. That was kind of you.

Default real problems this time!

now i am facing problems with the downloads...
although i have no files in the shared box, still the graphic of my outgoing packages when i start limewire is almost higher than the incoming bytes. but there's no files uploading from my computer!!! Except all this, my download speed has dropped to the ground. it hardly exceeds 3 kb/s. How can i fix this? Even by deactivating my firewall my download speed using limewire doesn't changem at all. but my browsers and other downloadings work just as fine as before. my internet connection is a broadband, and such download speeds are a real blasphemy.
Why when i exit limeware from my system tray icon, and i don't have any IE(internet browsers, whatsoever) open, i still can see an internet explorer process running in my task manager?
Next thing i wanted to know is the why of the fact that ypsr(yahoo antispy) detects limeware as an adware.... limeware is much older than yahoo antispy; thus, should be something dealing with the experience of other users as well... Is any one who can be as kind as to give me any answers to these?
Thankyou.

Once the LW developers are convinced that a new version is good to go, they'll trigger a message that there is a new version available. If the update message is for beta versions of LW, and your client is set to ignore beta updates, then you won't get notified. There isn't a way to turn off notification of new official versions of LW.

Hi, thanks for your answer, very kind of you...
but as you may well have read above; this isn't a concern about updates anymore...
I am experiencing very low transfer rates; at most, 5 kb/s(that's what i see on bottom of my limewire now)... This is an insult to my connection speed which may exceed 512kb/s... and it really used to exceed this figures the first days i was using limewire... But now, it's all so tiresome.
I've tried them all, there's really nothing left to be done; no way that i can't control my firewall; my firewall is very obedient and does exactly what i tell it to do. but my downloads creep at the speed of a snail.
Is there anybody that can give me a clue?
It might even be my internet provider that maybe has understood i am using a p2p prgm and that i am sharing files with others; but it wouldn't be a problem at all, i guess, since i don't have any download limits in my contract. And for more, all other downloads work just fine!
Anybody can help me? I'd be very grateful... please?

You may be experiencing "bandwidth shaping", where your ISP doesn't block the ports, but your ISP may be severely limiting the bandwidth on the standard Gnutella port used by LW.

it is true that you are experiencing low transfer rates, but its not as low as you seem to have put it. you are confusing kb/s with KB/s, they are 2 very different measures of speed. your connection to the internet may be 512Kb/s while your speed is 5KB/s.. although it is still rather slow for your connection, as kmag said, your isp is probably filtering/throttling your p2p usage. i have a 3Mb/s adsl connection, which translates to a 384KB/s connection, i can further reduce this translation to 3072kb/s or, 393216 bytes/s, or even 3145728 bits/s etc..

hello there... Thanks for your answers.
I do understand the difference of kb and KB... a byte=8bits...and so on. It is not what i was talkong about, since i explained very well that other downloads(example, redownloading limewire from the website would take me much less than a minute)...
What i said is that my download speed through limewire as a prgm has shrinked to surreal levels of even less than 12 times slower... It could be that my isp may be filtering my bandwidth... Yes, but a friend of mine, who uses the same isp as I do, and who told me about LW is having heaps of fun all day long by up/downloading songs and movies...
How come they'd redcard me while he keeps on playin? He's actually using LW ages before I installed it on my pc, even before i came to hear about it.
Is there any solutions to this? Maybe by changing my IP address?
Another thing; if i have LW running in my system tray and i click on the LW icon on the desktop, i get 2 LW processes running at the same time, as well as 2 LW icons in my system tray... And if i click again in the icon on desktop, i get three limewires, four, five six etc... depending on the clicks. that means trouble; right?
Thanks for your attention...
