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. |

 i need some help badly! ok first up am not very good with computers but from what ive read on these forums it seems thay my limewire is the slowest in the world.i am usually downloadin from 8 hosts at between 1 - 8 KBS.so ive filled the answers to these questions and if anyone can help it would be very much appreciated. 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) WINDOWS XP SP2 2. What firewalls you have? WINDOWS FIREWALL TURNED OFF 3. How much ram? 512MB 4. Hard Disk space available? 7.8Gb 5. Connection type?

Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? HOUSE 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LW 4.12.6 JAVA 1.5.0_09 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? SKY BROADBAND 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? YOUR TEST WORKED 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 2 LAPTOPS CONNECTED TO THE ROUTER WIRELESSLY BUT USUALLY ONLY 1 USEIN LIMEWIRE AT A TIME 12.

| You might want to see if your ISP doesn't shape your connection when it comes to p2p usage...Also check to see what plan you are using and if it shape's once your allowance has been used...

| Hmmm MMMMM how old is your computer let's see your runing with 7.9Hardrive not much room to put anything in the first place.You said that you are runing windows XP sp2 well that windows take's 98mb and on top of that what ever other programs you have on your PC is probley take more room to like if you all ready have Movies or game's or music witch i might say will slow you down if you do not have a lot of hard drive space.For ram you have 512 witch is good but with windows Xp sp2 it's take a lot of ram about 128-256 for good use of windows xp and like up top what ever programs are runing will take more ram witch means you probley only have one or two 100mb of ram to use left.MMMM you said you have broadband right ok is it your's or are you shareing withsome one else because if you are shareing some one eles it might just slow you down even more because thay might have a fire wall blocking you.And i no netgear i have a wireless but mines a bilken .works great All in all not to be rude or anything but looks like you could use a new computer.

| Reply to Stuart22 I have to agree that you need a new computer. Because at this point, if you upgrade it would cost as much as a bottom line model. You can get a computer that has a 80g HD and 256mb RAM 2.5ghz Intel/AMD for a less than you are going to spend on all the upgrades!! GOOD LUCK!! And, if you have any questions. please feel free to email me!!.....I'M OOOOUUUUT!!!! |

| trying to help stuart22 Sounds like you have plenty of computer. I would go out and buy an external hard drive and put all of your media on that. I have to do the same thing. In the meantime here is something that you can do to increase bandwidth on your computer. Microsoft keeps 20% for itself (what a surprise). DO THIS.... 1. Make sure you're logged in as "Administrator" (not just any account with admin privileges). 2. Navigate to START>Run and type: gpedit.msc 3. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Administrative Templates > Network > QOS Packet Scheduler 4. In the right window, double-click the limit reservable bandwidth setting 5. On the setting tab, check the enabled setting. 6. Where it says "Bandwidth limit %", change it to read 0 (or whatever percentage you want to reserve for high priority QoS data) 7. Click OK, close gpedit.msc |
