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. |

 Smart Enough People to Manage Auto-Force Resume There's got to be someone smart enough to manage an auto-force resume feature without it slowing down and overloading the system! Searches could be staggered so not everybody is searching at one time. It might be awhile to get your turn, but at least it will be faster than the way it is now and relieve some time spent force resuming every few minutes. Then you could walk away (or get some sleep) and let it rip! How about it?  |

 I only just scouted this thread as I'm passing thru the sections. One problem I see with force resume is that it connects with the 1st available source, however good/bad/fast/slow/reliable/unreliable that source is. The advantage of other techniques such as searching for the sources 1st means that the file will with any luck voluntarily start dwnlding from the source with the most resources & with any luck fastest dwnld speeds. That's always the dwnside for the chance u take with auto search techniques that even if u do get a connection, it might not be as ideal as hoped & perhaps unreliable as well! If u have the sources available in the 1st place you've a better chance of getting a better dwnld. Sure, there's certain stages of LW that require personal supervision, but that's the sacrifice for ideal/optimum results at that particular moment. Yes u do need to help LW to make those decisions on occasions. With experience you'll learn exactly when LW requires some babysiting & other occasions when it just needs some overseeing, & those hrs when it can be reliably be left alone for hrs on end! |

| I'm definitely not smart but I have used LW for a few yrs. The 1st version I had did have autosearch for all incomplete files. But I'm sure you've probably already read what problems that causes with overloading the Gnutella netwk as well as company networks with search requests. ie: it slows the network down for everybody incl. T1 users! We can be effective with the way we utilize LW w/o overloading any netwks. And that comes from learning from personal & others' experiences. Anyway good luck in whatever your quest is to find what u want!!! |
