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.

You need one software firewall. I'd normally recommend choosing one or the other (XP or ZA)

We're getting off-topic here.

I don't use XP so I can't speak from experience with its firewall. Surely if you configure ZA's FW properly it should be fine.

Thanks LOTR, will wrestle with Zalrm, it is a problem with ZA to set up networks and file sharing,or perhaps ZA conflicts with router more than XP,if XP didnt turn itself off i'd stick with it, thankyou for help,much appreciated. as the guru said'' If nothing changes, all will stay the same''

Just a Quickie LOTR, on the VLC 'Preview' thing, tried the ''Launch'' from Incomplete window and it didn't work, when video completed, VLC played it ok,
When I tried from incomplete on disc,you get an error message and the option to ' mend avi file' when 'launch' from incomplete window on LW nothing happened at all? and as you said no preview file raised,I'd hoped 'Launch' would work but fraid not.It's a pain not having preview option,should I go back to Divx? or is there anything else i could try ?
Thanks for past advice,
Newbee 2

Well Well, just goes to show,going from incomplete folder on disc,clicking on file,vlc player offers option to ''Repair Avi File'' (This might take a long time) if I click '' NO'' I get to 'Preview' the file !!!!! If I click 'Preview' from Limewire, nothing happens, so have to go to ''Incomplete Folder'' anyway. So at long last I get to preview files.Thanks for help good peopleHope this helps others who can't Preview files with Vlc !!

Do you mean the "ignore errors" option? I always click to ignore errors.

Default Vlc player

No, If I right click on file that is Dloading in window, if its a file WMP wont play, a preview file is created, but nothing happens,Vlc doesn't come up , so I go to 'incomplete folder' and either double click, or right click and 'open with' on the file, vlc comes up but a window called '' Avi Index'' comes up in front, it says '' This Avi file is broken,seeking will not work correctly,do you want to try and repair it?(This may take a long time), and under that are three options,either click ''Yes'' or '' No'' or ''Cancel'' if you click ''Cancel'' an ''Errors'' box appears with options to clear or save. but if you click ''No;; your preview starts,HOORAY !! if you click ''Yes'' your file is ''Mended'' i presume all bits joined together@@ dont really know what the repair option does???? At least its solved the NO Preview problem. Does this help at all , I am running XP. I don't seem to get an ''ignore errors'' option anywhere,apart from ''Errors'' if you click cancel.

You know Newbee2

You seem to have picked the "hard way" to get where you want to go, e.g. why double click an incomplete file while it is downloading, I always thought that this could cause the file to become corrupted.

Anyway, if you want to preview an incomplete file do not double click it or use WMP 10 or 11 (waste of space), I suggest you only use VLC, which as others in this forum will tell you, is very good and hardly ever comes across film clips that it can't play.

All you have to do with VLC is click File > Quick Open then browse to the file you want to play or preview then click OK. It is as simple as that.

PS. If I was at home I would have attached a VLC screen print.

Double clicking a file while downloading will not cause a file to become corrupt. In windows though VLC will normally not play a file by double-clicking it in Limewire.

Some players will play the file when double-clicking, but this is not the best option. If the file is downloading while you try to play it the player will most likely not be able to render the file. Pausing and then double clicking often works and no duplicate preview file will be created when doing it like that.

On the other hand fixing the file using VLC may very well cause corruption. Choosing the fix option will allow VLC to process the file as it wants, rewriting headers etc. In most cases limewire will not recognise the file after doing this.

If you can't preview a file and want to fix it:

Go to the incomplete folder, right-click the file, choose copy. Then paste wherever you like (outside of the incomplete folder of course), and fix that one instead. Then after viewing just delete the copy.

It is pretty uncommon that VLC won't be able to play an incomplete file without fixing it, but it does happen.
