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. |

 LimeWire freezes on me, what do I do? I'm running the latest LimeWire (4.0.5) on my iMac, I've had 4.0.5 since it came out and now it freezes on me when I start it. It also freezes a LOT in the middle of verifying completed downloads. I'm using 56K dialup, PowerPC G3 processor, 160 MB physical RAM, Mac OS 9.2.2 with a 6GB hard drive about 60% filled now. Finally, when I do manage to get LW to work, it spends 90+% of the time awaiting sources. It can spend 4 hours awaiting sources and still be at 0% for a 16MB file that should take an hour or so to download even with my POS internet connection. What should I do about this? And don't tell me to upgrade to Mac OS X, I also have OSX 10.0.4 running on the same comp, I don't get as much freezing/crashing there but LW claims to be offline after 20-40 minutes even if the internet connection is still active. And it does nothing about the annoying as Hades awaiting sources crap I get. HELP!  |

| Should work great on 10.3.4 (not 10.0.4???) . . . but Apple's java for classic is really old and buggy, and looks like many developers have given up on supporting it. Anyway, most of us are pretty rusty on classic, but there are some tricks: Play with the memory allocations (get info)--LW needs 60,000KB. Check that you have the right java (MRJ 2.2.5) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75097 Download only a few files at a time, and keep the incomplete folder cleaned out between sessions. Repeat search to find many sources for files, because if a host is busy or goes offline, you can wait weeks for that one host to come back online. Read the other posts about OS 9. . . especially those by bootylicious Since there aren't any other gnutella filesharing apps for OS9, Google for Carracho or maybe you can find an old Hotline client. |

| It is indeed 10.0.4. But when I run on 9.2.2 (and by the way I already had the MRJ 2.2.5 and just now increased memory to 60MB for LW), I still get the awaiting sources messages even after repeating the search several times. What to do now? BTW, Carracho sucks, and I don't know jack about Hotline. |

Strongly suggest that you purchase some more real RAM so that you can turn Virtual Memory off. In the meantime, increase LW preferred memory 300% & rebuild your desktop using Techtool Lite. You may have some fragmentation. If you have a utility CD, strongly suggest that you run it to optimize & defrag your HD. Regarding your 60% full HD. Time for you to do some housecleaning before things get really bad. When the HD is 90% or more full, strange things happen; and so good practice is to not let a drive get more than 85% full. You're getting there.  ----------------------------------- http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=18278 Mac OS: Assigning More Memory to an Application Program. The same directions are also in the OS Mac Help Menu. Techtool Lite |

| OK, rebuilt my desktop and reduced VM to 161M. LW freezes on me now. Minimum memory for LW is 60,000 KB, preferred 61,440 KB (60 MB.) If I increase it by 300% I'd use my entire physical RAM and a good chunk of the remaining virtual. There's no serious fragmentation, I run Norton Disk Doctor every few weeks. I cleaned a few old files out, I have about 2.5 GB free space on my HD now. |
