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.

Wow, I just got speeds of up to 47kb's on one download while the other might get 3. I have found that if I am looking for a certain file and have no luck, I try again another time and sometimes, I get what I want. I'm fairly new to LW, so I don't know all the ins and outs of it yet but I have become a downloading fool. lol

Well, purplkoala that's good to hear.

Ahriman, I (obviously) read your post wrong... Anyway, 128K... If it's KB then your speeds are way off (remember, 128KB = 1024kb). If it's 128kb, then you should be seeing speeds of about 16KB (which isn't far off).
If you don't get it, read the initial post carefully.

Hi Murasame,

We got a new connection as below
Code:
ADSL   
  Line Status showtime (G.DMT)  
  Downstream Rate 512 kbps (interleaved)  
  Upstream Rate 128 kbps (interleaved)
How much percentage should I put the download slider and how much upload percentage slider??

The max speed I'm getting is 6 kb/s Is that joke ??

Thanks,

Habibalby

Well, as of today my purchased speed is (according to the ISP) 512K download/256K upload.

I adjusted LW Pro as follows:

Max DL: 3
DL bandwidth: 60KB/s
UP bandwidth: 38.75KB/s
UL per person: 3
Max slots: 3


I also configured the OS X Firewall so it will allow LW to use the default port. (I still get the "FALSE" line...)

To my joy, I got to a blazing 22KB/s for a moment there... It seems to be holding around the 10-15KB/s

Thanks for the help Murasame!

Default Finally found 1 issue

OK. Double and triple checking. I found that one of my lime wire ports were not on the right number. Now it's right and I have tried to pu 127.0.0.1 in but each time I save it, it comes back as "Mom" as a name... Is that right? I thought getting the "incoming" to say a # was going to be the major factor and suddenly would be getting higher download speeds. I don't really see a difference in the speeds. So where do I go next? Any ideas? It seems like I have done everything else that was recommended before I finally found the hidding port issue.

do you want a copy of the bug report again??

Thanks,
