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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. |

 You can only preview as much as you have downloaded. And usually slightly less than you have downloaded because LW does not necessarily download the file's data parts sequentially. Example, you downloaded 15% of a song file. You could probably preview about 10-14% of the song. (Perhaps 20-30 seconds of a 4 minute song in that example.) Remember, these files are on each person's computers, not hosted on a website. These files are what people like you & I share.  |

| For different reasons, I totally want old format back. It was just easier, more usable (for lack of a better term) and lacking things like "stop download" feature that another poster mentioned. I totally do not like new version. |

| You can revert to LW 4.18.8 whenever you like, whether you're a Pro user (providing your Pro benefits are still current) or basic user. If you use basic: Get LimeWire for Your Platform - Lime Wire If you use Pro, use your Pro download link & then on the right side of the page, you'll see Get LW Pro 4.18... click on that link. LW 4.18.8 has some problems when it comes to resuming incomplete downloads from other versions. If you have incomplete downoads from LW 5 that you'd like to resume in an earlier version of LW, please let us know before you get rid of your LW 5 & we can give you more info about that & suggest a better LW version to use  |

| I find that LW 5 has more consistent network and connection behavior than 4.xx. BUT, I still downgraded because 50% of the useful functionality is MISSING from 5.xx I've been in the software business for more than 20 years, and the cardinal rule is, NEVER take anything away!!! Not sure what the designers were thinking, but basic file management is totally gone! What the heck. Basic removal of stalled files takes hours and a thousand mouse clicks if you have a bunch coming in. It was so easy before. I could get used to the layout of the new version, but for goodness sake, where it the functionality? Insane |

| Perhaps you should see Downgrading to LimeWire 4 from 5 & resuming incomplete downloads There were some differences we experimented with & found. LW 4.16 seems superior to LW 4.18 for downgrading to. And I do recall early complaints about LW 4.18 which changed the LW download preferences location to the main LW preferences folder & the actual LW download location to a different location. This is besides the complaints of the time. |

| You can find an older classic version at oldversion.com As long as your media has not been removed from comp. the older version will read it all and add it to your library. I did it, I regret paying the $15 to upgrade to 5.0 |

| If you actually used LW 5 with downloading, you should follow the instructions listed in the link in my above post. Else an older version than LW 4.18 will not read your incomplete files. And LW 4.18 does not do a good job of resuming them anyway. |

| Count me in as someone who HATES LW5.*-- I decided to give it another shot and after 2 days of utter hair pulling, I went back to 4.18.8. Why try to reinvent the wheel?!? I found LW5 VERY user un-friendly after using previous versions. Sure the older ones had their quirks but I got used to them--in 5, it's a total cluster F All that needed to be done was incorporate the new stuff within the old stuff and put a new 'paint job' on it, NOT try and make it 'sparkly' and 'spiffy' with bad fonts and worse user interface. Half the things that had access with a click or 2, now I had to scrounge around for it---and a number of thngs I wanted wern't there. The D/L window stinks as does the Incomplete File folder options Hey I know it's free and I appreciate it greatly but geeez---what a mess---Too Much Too Soon to quote the NY Dolls LP name went back to 4.18.8 and lost 95% of my incomplete files- thank you very much |

| You obviously did not follow my advice  This 'still' works even if you downgrade from LW 4.18 to 4.16, see Downgrading to LimeWire 4 from 5 & resuming incomplete downloads FYI the LW 5.2.2 beta has the download window visible at all times even if you're viewing the Library, P2P Network Window, Uploads window or browse results, the Download window will show all the time. And it is resizable. A big improvement over LW 5.1 & also better than LW 4 in that respect. LW 5.2.2 also introduced a couple new filters, such as a size filter.  |
