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.

Oh, with the latest LW beta 4.1.7 you can suspend particular uplds (& dwnlds also.) Perhaps not the prettiest of solutions but a solution all the same. There's also LW beta Pro if you're interested.

I must apologise about my last suggestion! I had the 4.1.7 jum build open at that time. The official 4.1.7 beta doesn't have the pause for uplds (only a pause for dwnlds.)

Thanks for this helpful post. I'll certainly try this when I get a response from the LimewirePro help about my main problem. Dumb question, but is there a way to print these posts without using up all my colour cartridge and getting all the stuff on the page? The I'll be able to read them and understand them when I'm sober.

OK. Just found "Show printable version". Now I feel really stupid. I'm sure it wasn't there before. Going to hide my head now.

Question Poor at math

Murasame,

I have read the posts for this thread dealing with the calculations for upld/dnld speeds 5 times, you'd think I would have figured it out by now. I must be a lot worse at math than what I thought (been too long out of the class room I guess ) . I agree that your beginning thread is clear, but I've never understood the Kb/kb/KB transitions.
Here's what I've done:
1 ) I've tested my upld/dnld speeds and have come to these results: 535 kilobits/723 kilobits respectively.
2) I divide these numbers by 8 and I come up with 67Kb/s and 90Kb/s respectively. It just doesn't seem correct (I assume I have goofed up somewhere).
3) I have tried the link you supplied for calculating your speeds and still get results that are.......overwhelming

I apologize for beating a dead horse but as I say I don't think my synapses are connecting to your plane of thinking. I hope you can help with this, thanks in advance.

WR

kb->kilobits
KB->KiloBytes
You may also see KiB which goes for Kibibytes, but that's another story (about decimals and stuff like that. Just stick to the "original" for now)
I suppose that what seems wrong to you is the fact that the upload speed (if 723 kb is indeed your upload speed) is greater than you download speed?

Default Specs on my system

Murasame,

Basically these are my specs:

AMD Athlon K7 motherboard with 550Mhz processor with 255 MB of RAM; running Windows 98SE with LimeWire Pro 4.2.6 and an ADSL connection.

According to this test site: http://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/default.asp
my upld spd: 535/s kilobits and my dnld spd: 723-728 kilobits/s I'm not qute sure what to do with these numbers. It looks like I'm getting nothing close to what most others are getting in terms of the thousand range. Either that or it's being calculated without the thousand, I'm not sure. This is where part of my confusion is coming from.

I hope this gives you something to work with.

WR

Wait, you mean that you pay for a 1Mbit connection and you don't understand why the test shows 700kb?
If that's the case then read again part of my original post: ADSL and Cable broadband connections are affected by the physical distance from the server.
Also, those online speed tests need to be done several times during different times of the day in order to get a more accurate speed estimation.

You mentioned to go to Preferences/Options window, click on Uploads, then Basic. Now drag it down a little more, around -5 or so of your Upload bandwidth.

My question is this..
Do I need to adjust anything under Tools|Options|Downloads|Download Bandwidth ?
I didn't see this in the message above and wondered if I need to move the bar from the far right.

Thanks

I would suggest you do the same just so that you have enough bandwidth left to browse the net or something if you want to.

Upstream is ok.
You can however increase downstream a little (yay!). Pull it up to around 60.
