Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

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
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you
LimeWire and FrostWire users 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.

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.

Exclamation Did you per chance log on to a scammer site?

Omigosh, I've been through this myself. I don't know if you were promised all the music you can download for a membership fee, or if you are referring to Limewire, which is free unless you want to upgrade to Pro, which I plan on doing next week.

I signed up for a membership with MyMusic.com at a rate of $17.95 for a year and I got them to agree to a month free trial and they said "fine" that they wouldn't even credit my account until the 30 days were up. The next day it was taken out of my bank. .

I found out I was scammed by coming to this forum about a small problem with Limewire. I found out that I could have gotten Limeware for nothing directly from their site, that I could have gotten just about all the downloads for anti-virus, anti-spyware, software for CD burning, all for nothing. I read the STICKY post about only downloading P2P from P2P sites. Very informative and a good read. Suggest you read it.

Anyway, I demanded a refund from them. After threatening to post their actions on every forum I could get in to and report them for internet fraud did I get a full refund.

Like I say, if that was your case, as one of my dear friends on this forum told me, you got scammed. Report it as soon as possible to the site or club where you got Limewire. Limewire can be downloaded at its official site Limewire.com.

Default how do I get my money back

I did get scammed by Limewire I did go to their site but there was nothing there to get it for free so I agreed to a one year at $1 and some change a month which would have totalled over $16 and my bank account was immediately charged over $40. I am filing a complaint with my bank to dispute that amount and cancel the entire thing. I can't find anywhere on the Limewire site to dispute anything and of course they don't have a phone number to call them at. Everytime I go to contact us it takes me to here the forum. So now where do I go?

Aaagr, no you did not get scammed by LimeWire (http://www.limewire.com).

You did get scammed by a site that looks similar to LimeWire's homepage and/or has the name limewire in its URL (limewire-******.com).

Yes.

Rkapsi is right. Limewire doesn't charge by the year. If you want the Limewire Pro, it is a one-time charge of $18.88 with free updates for six months. Only if you want, do you pay for another six months of updates. Nope, sorry hon, there is no membership fee at Limewire. Did you read my post? There's a lot of that stuff going around and other discussions about the scammers elsewhere is the forum. I've been using the basic now for about two weeks and I'm lovin' it! I cant' wait to get the Pro when payday rolls around next week.

Where's UKBob when I need him!

Hi u2btrfly

I was just about to do my shopping when I stopped by and read this thread, it seems that not only has Amyaim been scammed she is also very confused and angry (bad combination).

Now, I hope she has calmed down enough to read this:

Amyaim

What you have done is gone to a site pretending to be the official Limewire, they probably said that had loads of films and music all for a low cost. They, in fact, have nothing but a URL to Limewire Basic, they lied in order to get your payment details, now that they have got them they intend to milk you dry.

What do you now do?

Go to your payment provider, tell them you have been conned by a scam site specifically set up to con inexperienced users out of their money. You should then get your money back, especially as most credit cards have an anti-fraud feature, and afterwards change your payment details.

I just want to say that I have been using Limewire Pro for over a year now and this morning I renewed my upgrade/updates for another six months. The difference between us is that I went to the official Limewire site, which is here:

http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml

And the download page is here:

http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

while you went to another site thrown up by a search engine that pretended to by Limewire.

One final thing, Amyaim you are one of many, many people who have made the same mistake, conning newbies out of their money is very big business on the internet, and until scammed sites are closed down or newbies become more careful this situation will run and run.




UK Bob

Time to do my shopping.

Smile how do I get my money back

Well I was contacted by my bank and they are going to refund my money back to my account and I will delete the site that is downloaded on my computer. I had limewire a long time ago and it was the same one from before because it even saved the music I downloaded a long time ago. Anyway I found a phone number to contact them which is what I will be doing on Monday. Thanks for all your replies and I am sure that things will work for the best. I am not angry let's get that straight. I was frustrated but not angry because I know I will get my money back. Thanks for the proper web site I will check it out. Have a great day everyone.

Do you know what this site is for?
Just dowloand the bloody thing

In my 'amateur' days, (only about three months ago) I
paid for 360Share. (GBP26).

When I was searching for program downloads i came acroos Limewire. I thought "I'll download this". Got Pro for zilch and have been running it ever since. This morning I downloaded/updated to 4.9.11 with no problem.

I use Limewire all the time now.

Was i ripped off? I might have been....... but let's face it:
ith all the free programmes I've dowloaded, not to mention the dvd ripped films, i'm quids in thankyou.

Amyaim, what is the phone number you got? I feel limewire is hosing me and I need to contact them as well. I would appreciate it, pissed off consumers need to stick together. Is the # for limewire or the other site?
