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.

I think there should be a different way of putting downloads into folders.

Instead of just selecting one download folder You should be able to select different ones for different files types.

eg. At the moment my download folder is E:/downloads

When I download something I then have to move it to the corect folder E:/music etc

I think we should be able to choose where music type files go (E:/music), movie files (E:/Movies) etc.

I think I explained that to a understandable level.

I think Limewire should be able to handle Torrents as well.

Limewire 4.12.3 / Newest Phex / Newest Azureus

I recommend using either an old Limewire version without BitTorrent support or Phex for Gnutella, Azureus is BitTorrent. None of this Limewire Gnutellatorrent hybrid crap.

not sure if this is allready somewhere in this thread or other threads. I don't have the time to look through all the pages, but recently LimeWire's been inaccurately loading my incompleted downloads list on restart (it's missing a munch of the files that are clearly in the incomplete directory and were downloading fine last time I was running). Maybe an option for manually forcing the software to accept incomplete files instead of relying on the dat or bak files (which are probably what's corrupted upon exit) is in order? (as later versions of WinMX had)

This happened to me once. Just search for whatever is missing then download the file with the broken page picture. It'll start from where you left off.

I know, but that will only work if there's an available copy of the file. Plus is just plain a pain in the butt. It shouldn't be that difficult to make a method to import incomplete files (provided they aren't corrupt, of course, but that's a different matter entirely)

Default Limewire: Reboot and resume download

1. I have just tried out Limewire for the first time and while the results appear significantly faster, I am wondering why Limewire will not allow you to reboot your system and then resume downloads where you left off before the reboot. It APPEARS (??) to start the download/s all over again.

2. What about the idea of incorporating a graphical bandwith/speed analysis like eDonkey and Shareaza into the operating shell of Limewire. This would allow you to monitor the real-time bandwith/speed of downloads/uploads. The present indication of the progress of downloads and uploads is a bit short on detail as well.
Other than that, congratulations to Limewire authors!

It should carry on from where you left off... It Does for me... go to Tools>Options>Saving>Basic.

Check to see what number is in the Incompleated files box. If it's 0 or something stick it up. Downloads should then resume when you reboot.

hope that solves problem.

If LW or system crashes or isn't shutdown properly, previously incompletes would refuse to load & forcing them to resume would result in starting from zero %. But that's not the case with LW 4.12.3 as it can now resume from where it was. I'm not sure if this is what a couple of you were talking about ... but finally this issue has been seen to.

-For OS X: All file details (Artist, Album, Length, Bitrate, etc.) available in tooltip in downloads pane as in search pane. iTunes truncates filenames when it arranges files in the Finder, so I have song names in my download pane with no clue as to the artist etc.
