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.

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.

 So - that's the interface... Big Whoop! = SOOOO What? I get that the ultrapeer (U.P.) is a matching filter - sends my requests to only the machines that meet the req for the search. SO I expect that that as I search for more shtuff _ I get more hosts. Instead of the LW1.7/1.8 'connect to everything,then look' way of searching -I am supposed to get better matched results form 'smarter' connections. However - either I am not connecting to anyone who has even the most mundane crap OR the U.P. AINT WORKING LIKE SHOULD! |

| I've been reading these messages all day, since that's all I can do, I haven't been able to connect to limewire all day. People seem to be complaining about lots of things, but I don't see many mentioning my problem. I've used limewire for months, since I bought my new imac, and been fairly happy with v1.7, but this afternoon (Sat, Jan 5) it would never connect. I went to the website (one problem I had with 1.7 was that the help never worked, I never knew these forums existed until today). When I saw there was a new version, I rushed to download it, it seems ok except that I still can't connect. There are no firewalls and yes, I am connected to the internet, although it is to a 56k modem, but that's been good enough for the past months. Ok, here's the question I hope someone will answer: Is something wrong with the system today??? Why can't I connect today when I've been able to for months, no problem? Thanks from chilly Texas. |

| Stats are wrong? I'm connected now. It says I have 1 net (Ultrapeer) with 2 hosts and two files 8192kb. However... If I search for anytype and put the word new. turn off grouping and sort by IP, there are a lot more than what it being said in those stats. A ton more. |

 Aha! I get it... Hey wow! I actually get what Limewire 2.04 is on about now! The single 'Ultrapeer' server most people are getting connected to is actually useful! No wonder they took the statusbar stats out of the bottom of the screen! The stats never seem to be correct. Try it! Try searching for something when connected to this one ultrapeer server - you might be surprised. And a note to anyone reading this thread - Don't be put off about Limewire yet, I was almost ready to delete it after reading this thread but instead I gave it a go (I just upgraded from 1.4 -> 2.04) and have gotten 2 files I've been looking for for months in 2 hours. Top work! Please be more patient with Limewire, don't judge performance on how many hosts it tells you that you are connected to - I can give you a simple Visual Basic app that can lie about that! Just judge it on what you get. In the mean time, I'm gonna give Limewire a go - in one week I'll try and post my findings. I'll at least give it a week! -- JM |

| Old Version 1.3 Hi! The old Version 1.4 I'm currently using doesn't connect at all, no matter what I do. Are these old versions cancelled? And on that download page there's the oldest version about V1.4, where are the older ones? http://www3.limewire.com/download/ I have to get a Install-Anywhere-version! Regards, Amorn |

| RE: Amorn Amorn, I don't think any of these versions are cancelled, but I agree that on older versions of Limewire it is significantly harder to maintain good connections to the network. Advice: Ignore some of the people who rely on statistics in this forum and Download the newest version of Limewire. Trust me, you wont ever look back - especially if you are a 56k modem user! -- JM |

| Another connection sob story I'm not able to connect to the gnutella network thru Limewire and haven't been able to since 12/27/01. I've used Blubster and it's working fine. I reinstalled my original LW (v 1.5) and still would not allow me to connect. I also cannot connect to the community. The program loads fine but simply will not connect, even if I manually add host addresses. The only firewall I've got is ZoneAlarm, and JAVAVW is set up to function as a server, but to be sure I closed the program, and still no change. I am downloading v 1.8 in the hopes that it will work, after reading the posts in this thread it sounds pretty reliable. Today I downloaded but did not install v 2.something because the users at CNET warned me off due to a spyware program which came attached. I started to install the new version and cancelled because the installer kept trying to contact other sites while it installed. So I cleaned up my hard drive and am just wondering what to do if v 1.8 doesn't work either. Please reply and let me know what the possible problem is. Thanks. |
