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.

Alby59 is flying high
Arrow Limewire PRO 4.6.0 - Slow load

I'm happy with this new version, and it seems also working really faster.
Just a little problem when starting it: it takes a lot of time , freezing my PC , the Limware process sucking 99% of the CPU (i am on XP - XP2 ) , and, after 3 or 4 minutes it loads regularly without problems.
If i close the program and reopen it , no problem.

I do have other Java routines , and there is no problem opening them.
Latest version of JRE I installed is the 1.5.0(build 1.5.0_01-b08).

Please let me know what do you think...

ummmmmmm......... Does LimeWire start up immediately when you log on to the computer? If it does, and you fix that, that might solve it......... Try downloading the newest versions of everything....... I would also say to restart your computer, and try again. If the problem keeps happening........... Try what I've said, I'll search the forums...

...nope. I do start it launching the icon on the desktop when I need it, and being sois sloooow now, it is better, I suppose.... Just think of it freezing the PC at startup....
I have applied the fix suggested here, all the files are the latest versions, the JRE is the 1.5.0 .
I do have an ATI graphic card, but I do not have anyof the problems seen in the forum by other users.

Tks for the reply.

Cute image, but would you please edit it out of you posts please. Don't think it's appropriate for the younger viewers. Thank you.

As to your problem. Try setting the priority in task manger to a lower level.

I have tried to do it , but , after the normal warning not to use it to avoid instability, nothing has changed... or better, it did not solve the problem, just delay it some minutes more....

I also make a fresh reinstall , after a good registry cleaning, of LimeWire PRO.

Sorry for the previous image, hope to have not offended anyone, it wasn't my intention.

Just enjoy new one....

Hmmm not sure, but check this link out. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ersion+of+Java

It seem some machines run better on the older java version.

Thank you for changing the image

Fabion,

I've tried the downgrade, but unlikely I didn't find the 1.4.2 version anymore on my HD or on the Sun Site.
Could you suggest me a simple way to find it ?

TIA

Sun 1.4.2: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html (Choose the JRE) You can find the version of Java LW is using by going to the Help>About LW ... menu.

(Sorry about your sig. I put it back, I didn't read the whole thread.)

So you tried deleting your prefs folder? Do you have your video card set up specially for games (specific settings)? (Some people have also found with their video card that if they reset it to default it seems to fix some problems.)

How many versions of LW & Java have you had in the past? Do they still exist on your computer?

Try reducing the no. of shared folders (OR reduce the no. & size of files within the folders might be better & safer) as an experiment. Also go to your incomplete folder & list it in order of size. Delete all those that are 0 KB. Then after opening LW, arrange downlds by Progress (click on top of column heading to do this), & select all those at 0% holding down the SHIFT key to select all of those at 0% only & press the Stop button to remove them from the list. This should take some weight off LW when it's starting up.

Frodo (LOR, uh! ),

I'm just downloading the JRE. Tks for the link.
Not a problem for the sig.
I was using the 1.4.2 since some days ago, when I decided to pass from LW 4.6.0 to 4.8.0 PRO (don't know why, but the icon on the desktop is still saying 4.6.0 PRO ...). When trying the previousversion, with the old JRE , I had no problem.

I do share one BIG dir , with something about 2800 MP3 files. Don't share any VIDEO. Will try to see if cancelling this shared directory the program will load quicker.

Will let you know later. Thanks again.

Ciao!
