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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. |

 Red Incomplete Files - Since upgrading to 4.18.2 Pro My first ever post so please excuse if I don't have the lingo correct. Have looked around previous posts & threads (an hour or so) but without finding a specific answer to my problem. Would appreciate your assistance Have OSX 10.5.3 system and new Imac 24 - 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Since upgrading to 4.18.2 any file that I commence downloading does indicate black and shared in the "Library" and downloads OK. When needing to close down (I normally cancel out all files from down loading). On restarting Limewire all the "incomplete" files are now red and are not shared (and if you want to resume indicate a 0% complete). I have tried the right clicking on the files with no success ("share file" is there in the drop down menu but is a non selectable option). One thing I have noticed is I have no .dat files ( i think that was what they were called, maybe another one as well) in the "incomplete" folder that I used to notice in my previous Lime Wire version not sure if this makes any difference. Can find all the incomplete files in the appropriate "incomplete" folder Thanks in advance  |

| Your method of cancelling all downloads before closing LW is a technique I haven't heard of before. Not sure it's a good method either but just IMHO. Hover your cursor over your Saved Files folder & see which directory it says. Make sure it's the same as before. To check the downloads folder press the Explore button whilst selecting the Saved Files folder. All the previous download history is stored in the Downloads.dat & Downloads.bak files. Without them LW will not see them as having any history or details of hash to recontinue them. You cannot see those files from within LW. You can only see those files from the OSX Finder. So Explore the incomplete folder. BTW red files in the incomplete folder means they are no longer recognised by LW's download preferences. If you find the download folder has changed, then change it back using the option preferences which is first on list called Saving. * You should not share incomplete files directly !!! They are useless to other people & annoy the heck out of them.  Instead, turn on partial file sharing in the preferences options.  |

| Red Incomplete Files - Since upgrading to 4.18.2 Pro To Lord of the Rings - many thanks for the advice. Not yet out of the woods but All my folders - Incomplete, Saved, Shared, Store Purchased are located in as independent folders in users/............../limewire/.............. I have located a downloads.dat file in Library/Preferences/Limewire but no downloads.bak - any clues??. Should I uninstall and reload 4.18.2?? Pardon my ignorance but what is BTW with respect to the Red files in the incomplete library that wont share Regarding the cancel. Would you suggest when quitting Limewire you quit whilst files are still downloading?? Advice is appreciated |

| Reread what I said about the red files carefully. You should not share them as normal files in your download folder or other shared folders. Simply share them as partial downloads only. Red incomplete files means for some reason LW has stopped functioning with them. For quitting LW, I recommend in your system tray option to have it set to shutdown immediately, not set to shutdown after transfers. Also LW can take considerable time to close sometimes so give it 5 mins if needed. Not sure why you'd find a downloads.dat file in the preferences folder, unless LW has changed the location for it in the newest version. I am still using LW 4.16 at present. BTW if this is happening often, then get this utility: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...os-x-here.html which does same thing, backing up the LW download prefs, so this one should work properly. It did for me on my old computer. (Oh .. not sure if it is compatible with new intel computers though, but worth checking.) |

| Load of the rings - Thanks once again for your advice. Can assure you I am not intentionally sharing the red files The limewire backup utility doesn't seem to like the intel computers, does not do anything just sits there, when selecting set up - nothing registers or pops up - thanks anyway Just a note: on my old PowerPC running OSX10.4.11 - the utility does open and allows you to use the set up. No limewire on that machine now You queried the location of the .dat file. Is there someone who is using 4.18.2 maybe could let me know where their downloads.dat and downloads.bak are located. As mentioned previously I cant find a downloads.bak file anywhere on my computer........ should this be the case with 4.18.2 If all else fails I would prefer to dump the 4.18.2 and install the previous 4.16.? (is that possible when you download online - no cd) it didn't have any of these problems |
