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. |

 Jackie, for a nice explanation on what bandwidth is, check ursula's posts here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...6376#post86376 There are two different bandwidths: one for uploading and one for downloading. While uploading will help your donwload speeds, unless you're trying to upload to, like, a 100 peers (I'm exaggerating), then uploading won't slow down your downloads. If you are disconnected, what you'll share is the uploads that were active at the point of the disconnection, meaning thatif you have 3 uploads and disconnect, you'll still upload until the uploads are finished, cut-off or you quit LW. From that point of view, disconnecting will cut off other incoming seaches and also outgoing searches (you won't be able to search). By "when Limewire is off", I suppose you mean when you have quit Limewire? In that case, Limewire won't upload or download anymore. Think about it: it's almost like asking "If my Mac is turned off, how do I know that it's not still running?" Weird, huh? As for the Firewall thing, with the two Firewalls up, go to Limewire's Preferences, and click Bug Reports. Click the button to get an example then scroll down to the part where it says: "recieved incoming this session". If it says true then your firewalls are not blocking LW. If it says false then they are.

| Er, Jackie? You still have the 10.2.3? Why don't you update it to 10.2.8? Run a system update. There may even be a security update or two or maybe a java updater that you haven't got.

| 10.2.3 really means 10.2.8 mirasorvino, It was a typo, homey. In case you're wondering why I'm not using Panther, well I bought it and it worked fine until I upgraded to 10.3.5 or whatever, then Safari wouldn't work. |

| ... ... I'm neither English nor American, so I tend to, uh, keep expressions and stuff that I find kinda "funny" (this particular one I picked up from the Friends show. Notice the ""...) It is not to be taken seriously, of course (thank GOD.) Also, about the Latest Panther, try installing it again from the CD then reinstalling the updates. It is not the first time I hear about someone doing a software update only to find that it kinda screwed up their previously working Mac.

| Port 6346 Intruders After Limewire Shutdown Another firewall question! I get people attempting access to my computer (through port 6346) a whole lot nowadays -- long, long after I shut down LimeWire, even if I shut down while no uploads are ... uploading. I mean TONS of attempts, like 50-100 every ten minutes. Coincidence? I mean LimeWire uses 6346 and ... well I had Norton running before and I never got anywhere near the number of access attempts, and the few I got were not all 6346 attempts. Thoughts? Ideas? Orders for a large double-cheese with mushrooms? :oP |

| None. I'll go for that order though. EDIT: It just occured to me: maybe these people just have nothing else to do so they look for firewalled computers to try their hacker hands on. Since LW's port is the one that's "open", that's probably also the easiest to access/break/whatever. Either that or you have some really really coool stuff in your Mac that everyone wants.
