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. |

 those of you that have limewire pro I am thinkin about purchasing LW pro because LW basic is really slow! is LW pro any faster?  |

 the difference between pro and basic is this: with pro you can connect to 5 ultrapeers, and with basic its only 3..so effectively the only difference is that you have a bigger search horizon with pro..speeds are dependant upon the source (host), not the program being used |

| You could try an experiment by downlding a magnet link from here http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml If you only get slow speeds, then it's a sign your ISP is shaping p2p bandwidth use which they generally do with special p2p detector programs. |

Don't pay for something as poor as limewire, use FrostWire instead, it's FREE and does a much better job! |

In that case use PHEX. My reason for not using limewire is that as an application it causes more problems running on Macs than it's worth, a very poor piece of code, FrostWire, at least, does not give problems! |

| And LimeWire is only the fastest P2P software out there.  And no it is not going to be any faster for you your problem is 26k Dial -Up.

| @ spolied lil rich girl, I seem to remember from a different thread that you have a dial up connection. If thats the case getting Pro won't help you any. You don't have enough bandwidth to download at fast speeds. Better to configure LW Basic to work with dial up and only d/l one file at a time. Tips here to set up LW to work with dial up: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=48573

Limewire is no faster than any of the P2P progs I run, PHEX is probably faster, I've got 7 connections at the moment! As software goes limewire is MOST DEFINITELY the FLAKIEST! Best place for it, Trash can! |

As for me, I think that the developers from LW made a decent job and I'm thankful for being able to use it. I guess every program has its pros and contras and thanks to the many people here in this forums we have a chance to solve our little problems without big hassle. So, a tone of general appreciation (for which program ever) would be more appropriate than your bashing of LW for the benefize of FW; which matter of factly come from the same smart guys
