When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you

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.

Default Limewire downloads slow down my computer

I want to delete the songs in my limewire library after I've transferred them to iTunes. The problem is, they don't stay on iTunes. Is there any way that I can clean out Limewire and still have the songs on iTunes?

Maybe... because you deleted the file?
You can't... delete your limewire library.... doing so will delete it from your Hard Drive...
Just change where your saving the file if you don't want it showing up....

Trust me... I know
I was dumb enough to delete it... afterwards WMP wouldn't play it...

Don't get confused!!! Just because you see the LW Playlist in iTunes does not mean they are in iTunes music library. The LW playlist is simply a playlist that can be played but not copied or burnt, & simply reflects what audio songs you have in your LW download folder. To get the songs into iTunes music library, see How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes).

Then, once the songs are "actually" in iTunes Library (you can check by clicking on Music & seeing if they're there ... use the date added column & arrange them that way to be sure they were added), after you're "absolutely sure" the songs are in iTunes then you can delete them from the LW downld folder.

The difference between iTunes & most other audio programs is iTunes has its own music library where it stores music files. Whereas most other players such as WMP are simply playlist players. eg: WMP does not create its own folder to store audio files added to it like iTunes does.

The moral of this is "ignore" the LimeWire playlist you see in iTunes. It is simply a playlist & has nothing to do with music being added to iTunes. Also, don't forget to share back. At the bottom of the link I gave above are instructions on how to share iTunes music folders, which you can do for albums or artists.

Thanks for the replys. I guess what I meant to say is: is there any way to keep my computer running up to speed by transferring the limewire downloads into another folder and then to itunes? I've found that once I get about 200 songs on limewire my computer speed slows down significantly. I have 256GB + 512GB extra. Would my only option be to buy more memory? (computer is kind of cheap in the first place)

Just add to iTunes (BUT make sure they are actually added!!!) & then delete from LW downlds folder. It would probably be ideal to have iTunes music library on a different partition or disk than the OS drive. If you want to know how to do then ask.

BTW this might also help liven up LW & your system: Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!
