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 Unable to Connect using OS 9.1

I've tried all the ideas previously mentioned that I could use for my OS & MAC.

I am using LW Pro v4.0. I just downloaded it this AM.
I am using an iMac 266 MHZ, OS 9.1.
No Firewalls.
Comcast cable.

The "connect" is greyed out! I have rebuilt my desktop, reinstalled, trashed LW preferences & still "connect" is greyed out & I am disconnected.
However, at the bottom left of screen the tower thingies are red but says Quality: Connecting.


PS: I had problems downloading, so I had to download the NOVM installer & install w/extensions off because the installer would not work with the extensions on.

Hi guys

I just tried booting into OS 9.2.2 (usually on OSX, which works very well), installing a new LW Pro 4.0.2--no VM--and couldn't get it to connect.

I think it was because the loading of the shared files takes so long and so much processor power, and the Apple's Java for Classic is really buggy. I ran out of time to get it working, but I'll try again tomorrow and let you know.

I was able to install and connect a few weeks ago on both 9.2.2 and a Powerbook 5300 running 8.6, so it should work if I can just remember the settings required, where the java pieces need to be located, and all that other stuff.

I'll let you know how it goes, and if there's a problem with 4.0.2, sberlin the LW developer who knows Classic best might have some suggestions.

In the meantime, check out http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=23077 for some background, and there was a post I can't find just now about where to relocate the Shared folder that seemed to help.

Sorry I can't help more just now.

Yeah it seems there is a bug... I've tried it in classic and it didn't connected at first. I played with some settings, then restarted LW and it worked... I don't know if you have to chage some setting or simply have to restart LW however. One thing is sure, once LW is running on os 9, you can disconnect but right after you can't select the option to connect in the file-connect menu... I'll PM this thread to Sam.

/Ranting that some os 9 users won't like:
LW in os 9 is so slow, why don't LW stop developping for it with it's old java 1.1.8?? I would simply stop take pro subscriptions and in 6 months stop supporting it, but that's just me (there is now 35 000 osx dl / week compare to 7 000 for os 9 compare to 300 000LW multiplatforms total /per week - the % of os 9 users is lower 3% and there is just so many problems coming from os 9)
/End ranting

Ciao

Thank you Stief for replying & taking the time to try to figure out our problem.

I went to the link you provided. Apparently the solution is for an older version of LW as I could not find the code they were talking about in v4.0.
Where did you get v4.0.2? I could not find a any info on that version. The download page confirmed v4.0 is the latest!

I used Sherlock to locate the "Shared folder which was in the Preference folder. It's empty as I am disconnected, unable to connect to be able to "share anything".

Hopefully, you and/or the LW developer will come up with a solution for us OS 9.x MAC users shortly.

Thanks again.

What settings did you play around with to get it to finally connect in OS 9?

The problem is likely related to a faulty optimization performed by Mac Classic's JIT. (See the 'Why Does LimeWire Seem To Run Slowly?' thread for information on what a JIT is.) Can you check the 'err.txt' file in the folder where 'LimeWire' is located? Please paste the contents of it here? Thanks.

Sam--thanks for responding. [my err.txt is empty]

Bootylicious, you probably are running 4.0.2 (check the "About LimeWire" for the actual version).

Sberlin, thank you for following up on this.
The text of the "err.txt" file is as follows:


A nonfatal internal JIT (3.10.106(MRJ)) error 'chgTarg: Conditional' has occurred in :
'org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpClient.executeMethod (Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HostConfiguration;Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpMethod;Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpStateI': Interpreting method.
Please e-mail this message along with reproducible sample to jit-bugs-ppc@itools.symantec.com


I did follow the "Why Does LimeWire Seem To Run Slowly?" thread. However, the solution code sentence was not in the v4.0.2(which I do have) LimeWire.lax file.
