 Oh, Grandpa, it just keeps getting worse. This a.m. very early, I saw LW had again gone to sleep. And it won't wake up. It's in a coma. I checked my port under advanced and it was a totally different port from 6346. I changed it back and applied. For about five minutes I had Turbo charged, then LW went back to sleep. I've cold booted, reset the modem, though it reads high numbers on Speakeasy. I think I'm going to have to reinstall LW. And lose my close to downloaded movie files. Rats! Is it me? Am I doing something totally wrong? It's been working so well for so long. I've got ten ultrpeers trying to connect and failing. Sigh. I'm going to reinstall now, because I can think of no other option. Under advanced it had gone back to a long weird port number. Changed it back and nothing happened. I have so much to learn to get this all together. Well, wish me luck.  |

| I am hopping mad! Grandpa, I'm so upset: Poor you, working 12 hour days (for which I hope you are getting lots of pay) and I'm here fussing with my computer, having worse issues with WinXP Home Explorer, than LW even. That's not what I'm angry about. Is there anyway to track down those lovely LimeWire users who purposefully misname their movie files? I've just learned to use the preview feature so I don't spend days downloading Crash, only to find I've been given a porno movie. One Batman Begins was Harold and Kumar go to "White Castle", and another was "House of Wax", neither of which I want taking up room on my computer. Another I was saving to enjoy later was Robots, and it too was a porno movie. What sad people that have to do that! Worse, because I didn't check them out right away, a whole bunch of other LW users downloaded them off my system unaware of what they were getting. Just makes me sick! This never happened two months ago. I bet there's no way to track these poor excuses for a joke back to the orginators. So sad. But thank goodness for the preview option. On top of everything else, I've been downloading a lot of Batman Begins because almost everyone of them has something radically wrong with it, like the background sound track loud, but the voices too low to hear, or they aren't the movie at all, and another bunch won't play due to codecs missing for the avi files while other avi files work just fine. I downloaded a huge list of codecs, but I don't want to install any of them till I know which ones are missing. I found a list of the ones on my system under My Computer properties, hardware devices, audio/video. At least I know which ones don't need to be installed, but where do I go to find out which ones do need to. Wish the message that some codecs were missing would tell us which ones. Oh, and then, get this, I got an avi file of Batman Begins to download and it was beautiful, great picture, great sound, but it was only half the movie and no matter how I do my search I can't find the other half. I'm so tired and bummed out. Sorry, don't need to be laying all this on you or anyone else, just feeling a bit low right now. Wish I was working, even 12 hours a day. It's better than playing on this computer all day and all night. I want to go back to work so badly, but I don't even know if they will give me my old position back. After 5 years of giving UPS my very best, too. I finally had to pay for a lawyer to write them a letter about discrimination, but they are so huge and have so many lawyers that I'm sure they could care less about our pitiful little letter. Meantime I'm doing a web job search just in case. Oh, sorry again. See? What a grump I am tonight. I think I need to go sleep all this away and start fresh in the morning. I really appreciate the feedback I get from everyone concerned. Helping each other is just about all we've got. I emailed a letter to LW Pro Tech Support about two weeks ago and never got a reply. Is that usual? Well, good night and sweet dreams to all. Try not to work too hard, Grandpa. And do they happen to have an opening for another hardworker? Just kidding! |

| I have no idea why you got the 2 invalid e-mail notifications. Just sent off a e-mail to check it out have not gotten it back yet. Are you sure you got it from the official site. How much did it cost ? As far as the latest version goes I am away from home and haven't had a chance to test it yet so I don't know how it is acting and what problems it might have. The link below is to the official site the page for Pro support. Do they recognize your e-mail address

| Yeah it will still go to sleep. What sleep mode is supposed to do is when you are not searching or requiring multiple connections it drops the unneeded connections thus making more connections for other users who need them, and improving the the network performance overall. I myself have not noticed a drop in DL speed when it is in sleep mode but I have seen it disconnect in sleep mode. I think that this happens when the connection you have goes off line. And there is a bug that doesn't tell it to find another connection when this happens. I think the DEV should tell LW to keep at least 2 connections at all times then it might stop the disconnect issue. And yes I play with the BETAS allot I love to see if I can break things. One of these days they will make one I can not break but until then I will have my fun.

| Hello, I think I mentioned in an earlier reply that I emailed LW Pro support for help on the LW going to sleep issue, as well as the avi files that complain of missing codecs. I never got a notice saying they'd received my email or an answer to my plea for help. It's perplexing to say the least. I'm going to check out Kazaa Plus, since I also bought their pro software, just didn't like the program nearly as well as LimeWire. But I'm so tired of getting misnamed nasty movies or just plain other movies named wrong from LW. I'll check out Kazaa and if it's got the same problems, I'll be back. Good luck everyone in getting your issues resolved. |
