Forum Rules

Support Forums

Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

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
LimeWire and FrostWire users need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

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.

Angry Trojans, Spyware, and Viruses

How do I rid my computer of these things, so limewire will run regularly again? Also, will downloading 'limewire pro' off of the limewire network with out purchasing it work?

I'm sure that lots of people try to download Pro off the network. Whether they get a good, clean version of Pro is another matter
Why would anyone be so ch_eap, anyway? LW Pro's a great app & the small payment for Pro goes towards the future development of LW.

Personally, I think anyone who tries to download Pro from the network deserves to get a useless, malware infested piece of crap that won't download a single file

Could you be more rude?

You're basically hoping that people get a virus! You do realize that you can get bogus files, corrupt files, and viruses with the LimeWire Pro right?

You can get them with any program but we're still not going to agree with
downloading bogus software off the network. You just can't be sure the
hacked "Pro" versions of LimeWire or anything else are safe to use, especially
in LimeWire's case because the source code is available to the criminals as
well as the rest of us.

Anyway, the last thing you want when you're already fighting off worms is a
version of LimeWire you can't trust, especially as the free version is so easy to
get. The six tools in birdy's post should fix that infestation and the latest
version of LimeWire (4.13.8) is both newer and stronger than any older
version, pro or not, partly because it can use this half-million rule hostiles list.

…and of course we could be more rude, but where's the fun in that?

Agree the small payment helps us all. When you consider all the fantastic stuff we already get for free, I think payment for Pro is the correct thing to do.

Congrats !!!

You get my coveted dumb-azz of the week award !

HOW... HOW the hell do you interpret the post from birdy as being 'rude' ?

Further, you parade your general ignorance by implying that there is some increased 'threat' by using LimeWire Pro...
ALL forms of downloading ANYTHING can be harmful...

Default Avast

May I add a suggestion re: Anti-Virus s'ware ?

I very strongly recommend Avast ...

It is very 'powerful' and the updates are automatic for both virus definitions AND program updates...

It is very 'economical' in CPU and memory usage... And does NOT cause problems on a ShutDown of your OS...

Main tip with it is to always use the 'Advanced' display...


Oooh, and Adaware is excellent.
But, if you wisely elect to use the 'Pro' version, be cautious in your use of Adwatch... It does require some experience to use it properly and it can cause you considerable grief re: 'legitimate' alterations of your Registry settings.

I have looked and can't find the icon for posting questions on these forums. All I see is being able to post a reply to other questions.
Please advise a confused newbie.

i have to put my 2 sence in lime wire and lime wire pro are garbage program's frostwire is the same as limewirepro exactly and it's free. i wouldn't use either one to be honest. i would download ares from sourceforge.net
that beat's all three of them program's hand's down. i do recommend not downloading ares anywhere but from sourceforge though due to all the fake copies where the site want's payement when it's free.

as for limewirepro it should never be sold. the source code is free the file's are free and further developement of what? they are going to improve it or not without being paid.
when you get sued by the riaa you think they are really gonna care you paid for your program? answer's no!!!!

if you must be hypocrytical then you shouldn't be downloading file's period but paying for them, thru i tunes or another such site. do not put someone down or make such a comment, such as oh that's wrong to download a file without paying for it, when in fact this entire forum is based on stealing yes i said stealing from artists or programmer's who sell their product's online. you really should judge yourself before judging other's.

oh and don't try that crap i'm only making back up's of the file's i already own, because we all know, all you have to do is insert the disc and pay yes i said quit being cheap and pay for an application that will allow you to rip a backup copy of your legal purchase.

hate me as you will, i'm just pointing out the fact's.

moral incase you missed it, don't make comment's when you yourself are dong the exact same thing rather it be software or music

Clyde, so you want to come into Our forums to promote Ares ?? I don't think you want us to join your forum and do the same do you? Not a good idea to come in our house and Bash Limewire.

See Clydes 1st post here.

first off ares ultra is not a real version of ares. secondly you should never register to or pay anything to download something, never ever pay or pass out personal info.

i am the owner of AresForum if you would like to click the link funeral provided in post #5 for further help please feel free to. thank's by the way funeral.
if you would like to get ares running don't be afraid to come on over and ask for help. now to help you here.

if you have sp2 installed and you are using a 64 bit proccessor you should download the sp2 patch we have in our download's section. if you are running thru a router, or a dsl user i would try port forwarding ares transfer port.
as for playa's post,
you will need to totaly remove ares thru the add/remove also you will need to delete ares reg key's. start/run/regedit from there go to hkey_current user
then onto software find ares and delete the ares folder and sub folder's
from there check c drive make sure there is no ares folder left behind and then reboot computer. then download a real copy from SourceForge.net: Files
that is the entire list of every version there was ever made. i personally would recomend stying within the 190 version say 193 up to 199.
those seem to be the better of all the previous and later version's, 194 and up support torrent's. once you install the fresh copy then you should recieve another popup about letting it access the net from zone, go ahead and allow it. that should solve your issue's playa.
other's as i said feel free stop on over at AresForum, link's in post #5 for indepth personal help with ares, we also answer computer problem's, we are not just an ares forum but a total computer support forum.

thank's again for the linkage funeral, i will add this site to my link's list.

thank you,
AresForum

doesn't bother me if you join my forum and promote limewire.
your more than welcome to. i don't use ares anymore nor do i use limewire. i use torrent's.
i'm not looking for a reaction i am telling the person who asked and other's who come looking for help how to resolve thier issue. if your not inteligent enough to gleem that by my post, well i don't know what to tell you.
if you come to my site and ask for a limewire section i have no problem setting the topic up. although i am a computer support site dealing with hardware,software,and networking issue's. i have a p2p section where any user can post about any p2p network they wish.
it's all software and networking.
i just like to keep it seperate from other software due to the fact p2p is the meain thing ppl seek when uisng the internet. feel free to come over and request a limewire section as i said before. doesn't bother me.

sorry if you thought by posting your comment was going to get a rise out of me, but it doesn't, if you don't want intelligent ppl helping other's here then so be it.

just so you do know ares is 10 times better than limewire anyday it's been proven time and time again. same file's and with better speed's. most ares user's were at one time limewire user's and ares has over 1 million user's on it's own private network. also ares you may be lucky to get 2 bad file's in a year. i think that speak's for itself.

i also spoke the truth when i said 2 member's here are going to gang up on one member for asking about pirating a software when if your downloading music it is the same exact thing. so no need to point finger's.

arcticle on how limewire folded and ares did not Slyck News - FrostWire Beta Released i think if you read the article's on both limewire and ares also read the comment's ares dominates. i am merely offering a solution to a problem with limewire. if you look, this is a gnutella forum not a limewire forum, limewire is just used on the gnutella network like many more client's.

i have to agree with the quote below wich was posted at BetaNews | RIAA Sues LimeWire Over Piracy
and you say i'm promoting ares no it's pretty clear limewire is a scam.

I have to admit I am glad the RIAA is going after Limewire. The RIAA is correct in this instance, and the Supremes upheld this in the Grokster case. Any company making money off licensed music IS illegal.

I'd rather them perform these lawsuits than against individuals (there is NO personal gain from an individual trading music, and there is NO money made by an individual). Limewire, Grokster, BearShare, etc. are companies that should be put out of business. They are making money off open source software, and from individuals that want to share their music collections (again, the individuals that DO NOT make money).

These folks are a bigger scam than the RIAA - rest in peace bozos!

Clyde, If you knew what you were talking about, someone might care. Sounds like you don't have a clue. Limewire Basic is FREE. If someone cares to Donate a small amount of money for Pro then thats there perogitive. Why don't you go back to your forum. We all know why your here because no one goes to your forum. Also you are trying to SCAM people out of money at your site saying you can help them with there computer problems, Please. We do that here for absolutely nothing. Get a life Loser.
