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.

Default Limewire Basic running slow

What is causing the application to run fine sometimes and on other times it will be very slow. It will be slow when clicking on the tabs and while typing, yet the download speeds are not affected. Also, if I switch Windows to another program, it will timeout (program not responding) when I try to go back to Limewire.

I have recently started using Limewire and i'm having a similar problem. Sometimes it works fine, but other times u load it up and everything responds very slowly! You click on things and they take about 5 seconds to respond. Also when you minimize Limewire and bring it back up again, only half the display comes back, its as if the computer is running slow! But all other programs work fine.

Once you finally get something to download the download speed seems fine.

I have also noticed this problem is just the same when it is disconnected, so it can't be anything to do with the connection. Could this be a bug in the software??

It's so slow now its unusable, nothing you click on seems to react for ages. As i said before everything else on the computer works perfectly when Limewire is minimized.

Its definitely not a problem with the computer, it is brand new and top of the range Dell Laptop...

Anyone offer any advice at all, or am i destined not to share files.. (

Hi bitstream-surfie,

I don;t think so I'm being infected by Torjans or Hourses, becuase I've got the Symantec AntiVirus INstalled with the latest update. Plus Ive got the MS AntiSpyware installed with the Latest Version of Update.

Also, I've never Downloaded a file with the sizes which you have been stated above, I'm downloading oonly Movies more that 600 MB of size.

But still getting bad Download Speed, Downloading from 4 - 6 hosts with 0 KB/s.

One movie it takes one week to two weeks ??/

Help please ??


Thanks,

Habibalbty

but, recently before installing the Limewire I've installed a fresh Win XP Pro on my NoteBook, how could I reinstall it once again ??

Regarding the Uploading Slots, it's okay I've made it 0 slots and even the numbers of allowed to upoad is 0.

But still the condition is same.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have the same problem here. My download speeds are fine, but I can't really *use* the computer when Limewire is maximized. For example, when I type in a search, I have to hit the keys and wait 10-20 seconds for the text to show up.

I know it sounds dubious when someone says "I don't have viruses", but I'm a computer programmer and I know how to keep my machine clean. Even if something were to get past me, one of the other programmers in the room or the sysadmin would get on my case.

I also have the absolute newest version of Java, and all of my other java apps run fine, including Eclipse which many times larger than Limewire. I'm (amongst other things) a Java programmer, and I've never run into anything Java-related that could cause this, so I'm pretty sure its the LW app causing the problems.

I've updated LW, and reinstalled it, and done everything that generally speeds up a program. Oddly enough, this was only a sporadic problem until this week.

-Thomas

Default SLOW Limewire consuming CPU cycles

Latest Limewire 4.8.1 is causing slowdown of all activity on computer. Althougt others may have a virus or trojan issue, this is not the case. I have up-to-date NAV and test and scrub weekly as well as spyware detection and scrubbing. Using XP Windows Task Manager (called with CTRL-ALT-DEL) shows spikes of high CPU usage (sometimes to 100%) with Limewire running, and the Processes Window shows it is Limewire conuming the cycles (shown by sorting according to CPU useage column). Even with limewire "Disconnected" and no uploads or downloads indicated the problem still exists with exactly the same symptoms. The problem manifests itself by slow activation of other windowed programs, mouse cursor freezing periodically, and periodic sections of garbled music if listening to Limewire player. Music is also peridocially garbled if listening to music with Winamp or other players. HOWEVER: If Limewire is COMPLETELY shut down (not just minimized) then the CPU cycles are suddely freed up, the mouse does not freeze, other windows applicaitons activate instantly, and Winamp and other players no longer periodically garble the music. This issue is clearly related exclusively to the fucntion of Limewire running. Ideas?

Angry Slow Limewire AHHH!

Same problem as everyone else here. I have two computers. One is running on an older compaq i have, and the other is on the computer I'm on now. I just recently upgraded the processor, motherboard, and video card on the computer I'm on now and when I try to run Limewire, its soooooooo slow. However, it works fine on the other computer, which is not updated or anything. I got the newest version of java, reinstalled limewire, and it still doesn't work. It used to work on this computer, but I updated the drivers and limewire and now it doesn't. Is everyone with the latest basic limewire having this problem? Or is it just the people in this forum?
