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.

Hey Dude, don't get Pro if you can't afford it. It's not going to make a huge difference. As WW said you will get a few little xtras but nothing to right home about. Just don't want you to think that if you get Pro, super things are going to happen. Most of us that pay for Pro do so to help support the development of Limewire. Hope this helps.

Default mr.download no likee me AWARD !!! ???

mr.download


First, you deserve the coveted award...

Who cares, eh ? This is HOBBY STUFF..... = FUN Right ?

So don't get bent, OK ?
I, and others, are still here to support you!
On the bright side, 'mr. Download' is now infamous... Only one step away from famous, right ?

re: Your fundamental question....

WHY
WHY do you not try some of the other GnutellaNetwork Clients ???

i.e. PHEX - works under JAVA as does LimeWire... ABSOLUTELY FREE !!!

or

BearShare... I mean the OLD versions which are freely mentioned here within the appropriate forums... Foollow Aaron Walkhouse posts....

You WILL be happy with Gnutella... It is only a matter of your effort to find the best client for you...

cheers, 'Winner of Award'....

(1) the magnet links are often either out of date or intended for other programs.
(2) You will need to add the magnetic link to the properties of Firefox to handle.
(3) That site is intended as a reference site for checking files are genuine & are of good quality or not. Not as a download site. (Unless you went to their free downloads page which are all non copyright files.)

alfred1,

LW can't burn files. You'll need a burning program.

Usually if a file can't be played, it's because the your lacking the codecs needed to play the file properly. See : Problem with downloading movies

What program are you using to burn them with?

DVDSANTA is a free program that's easy to use. See Use DVDSanta

I like Nero 7. It's not free but it has a free trial. See: Making a DVD Video using Nero 7 Premium

This thread might help: Loading movies on a dvd using Nero StartSmart
