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.

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.

2. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=47310 3. Idle mode: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=32303 It doesn't affect downlds just reduces unnecessary connections such as for searching when you're obviously not around to do a search, & thus offers an offering for someone trying to connect to the network. From my experience idle mode has not affected my downlds whatsoever!!! Sure some downlds go thru periods of lower than expected speeds but that's expected & most times my speeds in idle mode have been identical to active mode.

| Okay. I was going to mess around, reinstall Kazaa. (I'd uninstalled it when I realized it didn't come close to LimeWire in just about anything. So here I am still messing with LW, even upgraded to 37, and it tends to spend more time in turbo charged, but still goes to sleep, now and again. I did finally realize that it was still downloading at a snail's pace while it slept, (a software version of snoring?) and I tend to wake up in the middle of my night and get up to jiggle the mouse, to wake up LW, too. It hasn't disconnected completely so far, unlike 30 and 33. "They" must have had a reason to program LW to fall asleep, one of those "It seemed a good idea at the time." Weird thing is that under properties now, it's saying I have version 1,0,0,2. That's the main reason I upgraded, thinking a fresh install would get the correct version to show. It didn't though, but LW "seems" to be working as usual. I appreciate the pointer to other threads with info on misnamed files (I'm guessing.) Maybe I'll find something to do about it. The one today was supposed to be another "Crash." The first and biggest hint was that it downloaded to 100% in minutes while supposedly 698 MBs. It was an ad for a "fun" website. Does this non-person really think I'll go to his site? He's dummer than I am. So I'm happily downloading another Crash and another Madagascar, though I couldn't preview them, got the codecs missing message. So I'm also slap happily downloading every codec and plug in that says it will help avi files to play, so maybe I'll get it right by accident. Don't worry, I'm being careful. Thanks again everyone. I may get frustrated and even angry sometimes, but LimeWire has given me hours and hours of entertainment. That's what it's all about, right? |

| same problem here, but still get my downloads finished I receive that stupid little message of limewire currently connecting to the internet or NOT connected to the internet. Well after i receive that message i do nothing. When Limewire is CONNECTED to the internet i get enough time to get ALL the downloads i want. After awhile that message pops up and i just ignore it and go to sleep. I wake up in the morning and BAM!!!!! MY DOWNLOADS ARE FINISHED and limewire IS YET FULLY CONNECTED. I dont' know what happens through out the night but i get my downloads FINISHED. Just tought of letting you all know. I also run Windows XP with all it's updates, use AOL and connect via DIAL-UP. My laptop is about 2 years old and it's a compaq. |

| No, I was a bad girl and just let the new install wipe out the previous version. It's a lot better about staying awake longer, but I just may do a total wipe, including reg keys, if yours turns out to behave better. Want to hear something really weird? At 7 this morning, I woke LW up, after which it completely disconnected itself and I had to reconnect. When I did connect, I had three movie downloads of mine going and one upload. At the bottom of my screen the KB/s went wild. It usually runs between 1 KB/s and 19 for downloads, less for uploads. This morning, my downloads were splitting 1,400 KB/s between them. I thought it was just a glitch, but the percentages of the downloads were jumping upwards by two and three percent a minute. Sadly, it's now doing it's normal thing, except the uploads are higher than my downloads. They're splitting them between 8, while I only have one left to finish, and it's at 98% already. Sure wish I knew how my system got such a great kick in the behind there for awhile, so I could get it to do it again. I also spent an hour or two downloading more plugins and codecs last night. Everyone of the three downloads I was doing failed in the preview due to missing codecs. This was on the Windows Media Player. I can try them on the other players now that they've gone into my video folder. What a pain. I wonder if having the Media Player 10 could be causing this? Oh, well, old story with no happy ending in sight yet. If anyone finally gets a hold on a fix, please let me know. Thanks! |

| Wow! On a dial up connection? That's fantastic! I've got DSL and I used to have my downloads finished by morning, but not anymore. Did you say you were on 4.9.30 or 33? When mine goes to sleep, it's still working, but at 1 and 2 or 3 KB/s. It takes a long time to get a 700 MB movie downloaded with that, at least on my poor system. I just ordered another 512 DDRAM to put in my system. I don't know if more resources will help or not, but I can always hope. Happy downloading! |
