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.

Default Keep getting Transfer Interrupted on Uploads to Others

I've noticed in the status box for uploads on the monitor page, the I keep getting transfer interrupted on the upload side of things. This has to be very frustrating for folks -- but I don't know how to fix it.

I can search and download fine, and see incoming searches.

I am using port 24337 on a d-link di-604 router (both tcp/udp open) running latest version of limewire - on an asus a7v880 m/b, 512 m o ram, 80 g/b (w/d) hard drive) -- xp pro sp 2.

I have taken limewire offline until I can figure out what's going on.

When that happens to me, I have to call my ISP and have them stop disrupting my uploads. This can take weeks

In my case, it was the ISP, not LimeWire, my computer or my router.

Hmm Cox are reknown for issues with p2p! I presume your incoming is ok, as in this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?

Are you using your D-Link in UPnP mode or manual port forwarding? I don't know how reliable D-Link's UPnP ability is. Since it wasn't available when I bought my D-Link 17 mths ago. (My model 504G doesn't support UPnP, in fact they stopped supporting my model altogether.)

I use it in manual port forwarding -- I don't think mine supports upnp. Easy to configure.

I looked at that received item and it was marked true.

(Not important but just FYI: Actually the di-link 604 does support UPnP, but you may need a firmware update to get it. Manual port forwarding will most likely be guaranteed/more reliable anyway. Under the UPnP section here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=51357
Not that it matters, as that's not to do with your problem, but just to let you know you probably can use it after a firmware upgrade. The 'Setting up UPnP for DI-Link' link has the link to firmware updates for the 604.)

Well tried a couple of things --

I uninstalled Limewire. I backed up to a system restore point PRIOR to the installation. And rebooted.

Re-installed Limewire. Fired it up -- Answered all the questions. It had changed the port - so I fixed that. These procedures have had no effect. I still get transfer interupted on an upload, although I can search and download just fine.

I don't know what to try next. what's broke? suggestions?

Did you take Stief's advice? I think that's the way to go!

(BTW did you reboot the modem after updating! There's more than one set of instructions. Tools>Miscellaneous I think you should find the option.)

Cox and I, have a very long history, none of it good.

Let's just say the Attorney General was involved, the case dragged on for months, but I prevailed. (fraudulent practices)

Most recently I had a technician to my home, because I was seeing speeds less then 1 meg on download. All he did was say "oh that's your problem! those splitters are no good!" Changed the splitters and left. Okay waited 90 minutes, called them again, COX was getting 30% packet loss! Why the idiot didn't have them do this in the first place, I don't know. Changing splitters is rediculous. They called the guy back, they did something at their end, and I'm doing better today. I can download 6 meg, as advertised. (a little better then t2).

The people I encounter with cox either don't care, won't care. The firmware update seems to have things settled down. I let it run overnight, and while I got some transfer interrupted, it was far less then the usual 100%. I am currently uploading to 5 folks -- seems a bit more solid -- will let this shake out and let you know.
