Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

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. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. 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. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. 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.

AFI1307 if 2 file recovery utilities end up with the same results then it sounds like you've written over portions of your hard disk drive since you deleted the files. These files might not be the ones you accidentally deleted from the library but deleted at an earlier time after you'd finished with them so just continue with the recovery process until it's finished. Also don't use LW or other programs that write to the HDD until you've finished the recovery process. Otherwise you'll minimise the chances of a successful recovery. Also recover them to a different HDD or partition or storage device.

Hey, this is Hakeem, I use limewire, my operating system is windows 2000...This is my situation, I had alot of media downoalded in my LW Library and all the downloaded files were shared in a "limewire" folder in my "c" drive..it was shared with, the folder wa in my C drive.

I have'nt use it for a few weeks so when I got on to limewire today i was surprised to see that there was a problem with accessing my library on limewire, or rather there was a corruption of some kind with my shared "limewire" folder..It wanted me to reconfigure my folder options....apparently it seems all the music in my limewire folder is gone, i looked in my recycle bin and its not there...no idea what could have happenned..does anybody have any ideas as to how to find them or get them back?.Also
there is no music on my "my music" folder either...

when i try to access my library on limewire it says i need to "reconfigure" my folder, than it leads me to a page where i add folders to where my downloaded music will go but even when i changed to "my music" theres still nothing there...when i click on the "share" tab where my library should open up it says "you can configure folders u share in limewire options"

so when i click on the tab "configure" it brings me to a small menu where i add or remove folders to put my music in, but there is nothingin my "limewire" folder where my music is supposed to be...wierd huh?......is it possible it just lost everything?..i tried searching my computer for some of the songs i dowloaded recently but nothing is found....would deleted recovery programs work if theres nothing in my recycle bin and if I'm not the one who deleted anything?


Any Links to sites that can help or suggestions will be greatly apreciated..Thanx everyone

Answered via PM; As long as you did not press the Delete button you are ok. It just means the save location has changed to default. Best thing to do is use your computer search function to find which folder they are in, then reselect that folder as the save folder under Tools > Options> Saving. Perhaps see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...downloads.html

However, if you did press the Delete button, then you will need a file recovery program. I'd suggest stop using any program on your computer until you recover the files so they will not be overwitten. See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...ry-advice.html

Hello, I accidentally deleted about 800 songs off limewire and when i went to the recovery site they recover the work but you have to pay for it once they found it. Does anybody know were I can find an absolute free site?

Links in the last link in my post above ... file recovery advice. Some free programs there.

Restoration used to be better than PC Inspector, but others posted about since.
Important thing is to try not write to that same partition on your hard disk drive until after you try recovering the files.

Restoration - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com erm you didn't check through the links very well.

Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File Recovery - Home (should do the trick)

I think you're just lazy.

Initial free use: Recover Lost data RecoverMyfiles

Me? I use a mac, and yes I have on the mac many times. I used Norton Utilities & their equivalent which was very good. However it is a commercial program. (Unfortunately Norton no longer supports the newer OSX versions, their support stopped at OSX 10.3)
