Forum Rules

Support Forums

Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. 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.

Default Purchased LW Pro but only received Basi

I puchased Lifetime Full & Unlimited Access with Pro Version Upgrade today. I installed the program followed with the Pro version upgrade install. However when I start LW I get a screen to upgrade to Pro Version at an addtional cost of plus $18 US dollars. I have version 4.8.1 installed and ver 4.9 is now available however I can only download the Basic version or pay to download the Pro Version. I'm confused (doesn't take much) as I purchased the Pro Upgrade but apparently only have the basic version. How do I get the Pro Version that I paid for?

I regret that it looks as if you bought this "package" from a site other than Limewire.com and have been victim one of the many scammers that are doing this kind of thing.

Membership? - **WARNING ** BEWARE** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites lists posts on just a few known cases.

Limewire basic is available from www.limewire.com free as is, as you know, pro for $18.88

Added to which 4.8.1 is an old (well July) version.

An approach to your credit card company to try to recoup your money is a advised!

If you look at my link of known scam sites above you'll see this link listed there. No there is no such thing as lifetime & unlimited. You'll find what you got is the Basic version of LW which can be obtained for FREE from the official site. AFAIK these sites MUST allow you to get a refund if applied for less than 30 days after purchase. So do it NOW! Don't let them win! They're getting money for something they don't own or control. They are thieves! What are they? They are THIEVES!!!!!!! You'll know for sure what you should get by going here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

BTW codecs can be gotten for free from these links: CODECs list and alternate players for Movies & spyware/adaware programs that are the ONLY trusted ones with p2p programs are 1. ad-ware (FREE), & also 2. Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE) Thus you paid a lot of money for what you could have got for FREE had you visited the official site 1st. If you later wanted pro then you'd only be paying US $18.88 And all but the pro version you could have got for free!

How you try to get your money back is really up to you. One dissatisfied customer posted his story on the forums, and the best I can do is recommend you read it. I certainly would not have done the job half so well

get your $$$ BACK!!!(music members)
