When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up

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.

Watch out for these guys. You pay for unlimited everything and then link you to LimeWire. They send you the "Videoria" video converter which gives me a "fatal error" message on my new Dell when I try to install it. It's a scam, stay with LimeWire

Unhappy payed

I just realized why limewire pro doesnt recognize my email address to be able to enter a support ticket!!!!!!!!! I did pay the $34.95 2 years ago through what I thought was a legit site. I had no idea that you dont pay except for pro. I do have pro, was able to upgrade, but need to transfer limewire connection to a new computer. Any suggestions how to do this? I tried once b4 and was given a piracy message.
thanks for any help

Hello I think I'm 1 of those silly people too !!!! I went to google last sunday looking 4 music download sites and havent got a clue ,kept looking at all the different ones and they all lead to limewire which I knew I wanted .I sadly joined one for £14.99 lifetime membership and £9.97 Pro Vison that I didnt ask for along with £8.88 spy remover that I also never requested !!!!! the site was ares-software-download.com , is this another one of those sites ?? they never sent an email to confirm and it said the 1st 7 days were free and you could cancel .My credit card has been charged £33.73 but fortunately iI have spoken to the card company and at the monment they are stopping payment to them ,So is this another one of those scammers ??? sorry to bother you all just that I would like help stop this ,as there ard probably thousands of us new ipod owners out there doing exactly the same as me.
Also the name of the company that took the money was www.mp3musichq.com this is weird as they have a help desk and phone no??

Default Another victim? MP3MusicHQ.com

I think I've been scammed as well! I was in a bit of a rush as I was about to rush of to a gig and I needed to hear a song so my band could play it, someone suggested Limewire. I thought I had logged on to Limewire but obviously not (I found the site with a search on Google) and yes I paid for a 2year subsctiption (99p - UK- per month I think!).

Then I got an email from MP3MusicHQ.com with a bill as follows (UK prices):

Quantity Description Amount
1 2 Year Membership 14.16
1 PRO-Version 9.97
1 SpyRemover 8.88
Total Charge 33.01

and a link to http://MP3MusicHQ.com/me/login.asp which threw me as there was no mention of Limewire yet it mentioned the order ID number that had been generated when I placed the order. I followed the link (which now cannot be contacted!) and there was no email address etc only a phone number (which I called (my face is going red as I think how this must sound) where I had to leave a message as there was no answer. (There was also something about Mp3ehlpdesk.com who say they act on behalf of various internet companies.)

MY QUESTIONS are:

1 Is the livewire program I downloaded OK or is it different/bad in some way?
2 I paid (foolishly, cos I was in a rush) with a DEBIT card not A CREDIT CARD! so I don't suppose I am covered?
3 Will they keep trying to take money out of the account or can they only do it on a one off? (I don't know how these sytems work)

Sorry it's so long. I've read lots of messages on this subject and you all seem like really nice, helpfull people. I hope someone can put my mind at rest on the above.

Cheers

Default membership scam

It appears to be a legit site. I stil have the e-mail confirming my charges (way back when), but they have "do not reply to this e-mail" and refer me back to this forum. I just want to find a contact for Limeware. This is the only contact info they have for basic LimeWare.

I feel really dumb. I got taken by a website call mp3-Source. http://www.mp3-source.net/ . I've already filed a complaint with the fbi. They offered unlimited access for *****08 per month. I figured if i didnt like it or if it were a scam i'd be out 2 bucks. Next thing i know, they charged me $70.08 USD! Anyone else have any suggestions?

First off let me introduce myself, I work for the support team at the website your talking about. We are not like the scam sites you see advertised or discussed in this thread. We are a legit business that caters to people unfamiliar with the method and tools to use when it comes to legal downloading. We do have links to limewire and other p2p services on our website but we are not selling their software. We simply recommend them because we believe that their program is the best one for our members to use. We specifically state on our website that we do not endorse downloading or copying any illegal material. We also state that we bill you for your convince a one-time charge for a twenty-four month membership and you will never be re-billed.

Your complaint with the FBI probably will not go far since our service is 100% legal and they know that. We are even joining the Better Business Bureau in the very near future. We have a toll-free number and offer 24/7 support with your account. If you have problems with your membership, feel free to contact us and let us know and we will be more than happy to assist you.
