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. 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.

Angry Audio MP3 file - only noise

I have download an audio file from both Cable/DSL and T1 sources. All files (the same audio file) downloaded indicate MP3 but when I try to preview the file an error pops up indicating there is an unknown error with the audio file (it always lists the same audio file number - even after I have deleted the incomplete files). This is a new audio file that has just been out several months. Is this due to a licensing issue that doesn't allow it to be downloaded in a readable format? I am getting a little frustrated trying to get this one to work! I have others that have downloaded just fine.

I have read a few other posts and have the same issue with the "firewall" message.. but most of the time when the message about a firewall blocking shows up - I am connected...it's annoying. I have my firewall configured according to the specs listed at the Limewire firewall instructions but still get that message. I am using V4.9.28 Pro.

Thanks

Did you have a look at the Sticky in this section? Downld/Upld Problems Sticky

Firewall: Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

By New - I mean that this book has only been out a few months. I have downloaded other books by same author but they have been out for several years.

The download file(s) indicate it is an MP3 file....

I thought that if I deleted the incomplete and complete downloaded files and re-downloaded the same file I would get a new copy. Since I continue to have the same problem I am thinking these CDs are protected in some manner that does not allow them to be copied.

By new - I mean this audio book has only been out for several months. The file size is 286MB. The last book I downloaded was 283MB. Is the file size beyond what can be handled?

I have deleted all of the complete and incomplete copies of this file. Have downloaded again and still have the same issue...

I just looked at the "INFO" for the file and it states that it is
MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3 - but the files says .mp3 on the description..so I guess that may be the issue...

(BTW - Windows XP PRO SP2 - Home, DSL, firewall on)

iTunes plays audio books without problem. However there is a chance your file is corrupt because it is copyright. Most Popular Songs R' Corrupt Of course you already read this didn't you after checking out the sticky at the top of the section.

Did you configure your firewall? Did you configure your Anti-virus program to allow LW? Apparently some can actually cause damage to files if permissions arent given to allow.

On the firewall issue - I do have LW in the exceptions list, I have added Gnutella under Services in the firewall Advanced settings.
I did not have an issue with the firewall until the upgrade to 4.9.27 (LW Pro).


I did read the post on UL/DL - that was very informative..

I import the audio files into iTunes.. but this one won't go.
I have a program (shareware) - Markable - that will convert the files to the format wanted by iTunes but it won't do this one either. I have put the other books on my iPod with no issues.

So, I think your "copywrite" explanation is probably the correct one.

Thanks.

BTW LW 4.9.28 is now out. It might be worth updating to.

I wonder if the file is in mp3Pro format. iTunes won't play mp3pro. mp3pro is only good for bit rates of 128 kbps or less. Try it in another player.
