Please do not update limewire
 
Hi all

Yes, tell you one thing today, as I am a limewire basic user with DSL bandwide for more than 1 year. These days there always a shining lines shows my limewire needs to be update. Therefore, I trid to updated to the version 4.12.3, but after installing this new version. I could not finding anything on it. No video, no audio, nothing pop up.

At the begining, I guess it's the connetion problem with my network, so I checked out the problem shooting from limewire offical web, but it doesn't help. After hours researching and checking the settings, finally, I decided to reinstall the old version which it works again!

Here, I stressed that if you are the limewire basic user, please do not update your program to 4.12.3, stick with your old version is fine. I also suggest if you do not have the old version anymore, you could find it on google easily.

Remember, do not update anymore, the old version under 4.12.3 is perfect for your needs.

If you have any needs or assistance,please feel free to send me a mail at [edit] Thanks!

Cheers
Dixon

Wondering why

I guess you really don't understand what i am talking about here, maybe you are not a limewire user. Please install one and give it a try! I think you will learn something from it!

wondering why July 18th, 2006 04:03 AM

Ok, so I'm a member of this forum and help people with their Limewire problems, BUT I dont use Limewire :rolleyes: give me a break....
For one just because you have had troubles installing the latest version of LW, doesn't mean everyone will and if they do they can get some pretty accurate advice from members of this forum on solutions to help them..
Oh and another thing DO NOT ADVISE anyone to google search an older version of limewire, we have enough problems with scam sites offering versions that have been filled with spyware and charge for the basic version..
My suggestion to you would be to do some further research, before shooting off at the mouth.....:mad:

Bravo WW

Newbies that know very little but claim to know a lot are the bane of this forum.

Hey dixon79

thanks for your advise, yes, I did the updated yesterday which drived me crazy that i could not find anything with the new version, so I followed what you suggested here.

It really works again, Thanks for sharing that!

Btw, Wondering why, if you are not using limewire,please keep silent! You are not qualify to telling the sh*t here! You even don't have a name! So does UK Bob, you are not supposed to judge those newbnies, you are just nobody here. If you want to get more respect here from those newbies. I guess you should contribute something useful to this forum, not just judging & reduced people's motivation to publish something. Your mom doesn't teach you that when you grow up, does she? What a poor guy!

Viva hk.emma, wondering why and uk.bob really knows nothing about limewire, but you didn't need to say those dirty word to them. Maybe they are just some old men who just start to learn typing something on this forum, please forgive their unenlightened speech here.

moreover, thanks dixon79, it really works, i won't update to the new version anymore untill the feedback is good from this forum.

I take it that HK stands for Hong Kong what is dixon79 a personal friend or relative lol...
If you read my posts carefully I do use Limewire and I do know what I'm talking about...
So dont go throwing insults at me because thats all you can come up with...
You need to do your Homework as well....:eek:


Oh and another, the whole family has joined in LMAO....

dixon79 July 18th, 2006 08:48 PM

Seems more and more people has update problem these, so more and more people looking for some help for using the limewire again.

Also, ok, wondering why, maybe I will do more research before telling people something, but what I did that day could make things works again? May I know what happened? Some people also encountered the same problem as well, right?

birdy July 18th, 2006 08:51 PM

HK.emma & joytt,
WW has given some very good advice in this thread, sure some people may not be happy with one version of LW but don't just go looking for another version using Google!! Just imagine how many infected copies of LW are floating around... nobody wants a virus, do they?

Have some respect for the people who give their time to help others out here.

How do you manage to find all of these idiots. I guess they know everything like if you install a new version of LimeWire you will need to reconfigure your firewall to allow the new version of LimeWire. I guess they know that the old exception will not work for the new version. Of course they know if they are port forwarding they will need to set up new ports for the new version. Or any of the other configuration tricks like the .limewire folder. Of course they know these things they know it all and the 4.12.3 version is a piece of ****. Funny it works great for me. I must be a real dumb ***. :D

wondering why July 18th, 2006 08:54 PM

Here's some useful advice to start you off with, this link contains some of the changes that where implemented in their latest updates...

Thanks GP and Birdy and UK Bob.....;)

Birdy, I will take your words as respect. but Grandpa, so you found some idiots here, right? maybe you have their same sence of taste so you could find them easily,right? I really feel sorry about your mom has a kid like you!

wondering why July 18th, 2006 11:16 PM

I know I shouldn't feed trolls, but it's just one of those days....:D
joytt.....
If you cant come back with a resonable argument as to why the latest release of LW is so bad, do not post in this thread....
If the best you can say is I feel sorry for your mother, you really need to take a good look at your own manners...
I'm not wasting anymore time with you or your mates, I have better things to do....
Oh before I do go I would just like to say have a look at the Post Counts before you suggest that we dont know what were talking about....:rolleyes:

Blah Blah Blah.....:p

HK.emma July 18th, 2006 11:39 PM

ww

you'd better get going asap, there are still a lot of problem waiting for you, "superman" , and thanks for your valueble "comment", we don't need to spend so much time on this issue.

Grandpa July 19th, 2006 05:41 AM

Actually superwoman and she has more knowledge about LimeWire than you probably will ever have. If you all want to Troll around go to another forum we ban trolls here after we have a little fun with them.:D

ukbobboy01 July 19th, 2006 10:40 AM

The same IP
 
Dear KathW

I wasn't going to get involved in this thread anymore because, as you said, the three trolls seemed "strikingly similar" and it doesn't really pay to feed trolls, even one with a three way personality.


Dear WW and Grandpa

Lets form a pact never to indulge these trolls (even ones with triple personalities) ever again, these "know nothings" are not here to get help but to throw flames and I think that we, as volunteer helpers, are much better than that.

So LW volunteers, until the next great debate or unsolvable problem (like my Speedtouch modem).

Yours in adversity

Dare I say it. Get a reliable Linksys router or modem. Not one of those disliked here under the UPnP section of Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link) with a no. of 54g but one of the others that is a proven winner. I've never tried Linksys but most reports are positive toward them (except a particular series.) Better than many.

Thanks for the info, coz' I'm at my wits end. I'll let you guys know if I ever get my unsolvable problem solved.

Same IP?? You'd better check it carefully, oldies!

Lord of the Rings July 20th, 2006 02:55 AM

Just did
 
Guangzhou, Guangdong or there-abouts. So that's 2 mods who found the same results. Also have their timezone on the forums set to China's time. ;) :D And yes, all 3 have same ip. So if I ban one ip, it will ban all 3 members. Shall we try it for good measure. :D

Hi all

Instead of arguing with each other which we are not here for, i think it would be better for us to respect each and everyone opinion here. WW, UKBOB, KATW n GRANDPA stop all your insinuation. Dixon79, HK.emma & joytt before you say ppl not to upgrade i think you should try and test all the possibilities. I,myself could not connect to LW after i upgrade, i was becoming mad then when i followed the instruction of foolofthehill, now my LW is working perfectly, try it!!!!!! I hope that all of you know what we are doing here is to help each other.

The Drunken One July 23rd, 2006 10:07 AM

Still relatively OT, but ignoring the previous malarky. Is there any reason why I wouldn't want to update LW even if it means sorting out a few gltches along the way. I never thought twice when I saw an update available!

give me a break you worthless troll...sheesh...

it has been proven that they are using the same exact IP addy...

I don't know what this indicates to you, but it surely indicates to us moderators that this is nothing more than a trollish game...It goes beyond my comprehension that you would actually try to step in the middle of mods doing their work...I mean really, just who the fvck do you think you are????

that's right, this is supposed to be a support forum, but its rather hard to give good info when a$$holes like this are playing deceitful games of lies and propaganda...and to boot, said jizzguzzler don't even know how to change their IP addy in some attempt to get away with it...

dixon79 July 24th, 2006 02:55 AM

Ladies and Gentlemen,

First of all, I am taking the personal accountability of the first article, and I did not meant that to play this "trollish game" here. In fact, I ( A new member to this forum) was aware of trying more and testing more before I published something on this forum.

Considering this, no matter the compliments, complains or insinuations from you, I will always take that as your sincerely comments.

Ok, but there still one thing I do not understand, some of my buddies had updated to 4.12.3, which really didn't work, also without any firewall or setting problems. after that, they got back to older version, and it works again. Does anyone knows why? So should I update to 4.12.3 again or is there any skillful setting for the lastest version?

Please feel free to speak out!!! and let's work for the solution together, not dig in the difficulties anymore. Thanks!

AaronWalkhouse July 24th, 2006 04:35 AM

4.12.4 should be out today, to fix a lockup in a vital thread.
If it works, everybody with 4.12.3 will be prompted to upgrade.

foolofthehill July 24th, 2006 08:36 AM

I'm gradually getting the "Anthony Perkins" feeling in this thread with so many split personalities on the same keyboard.....:eek: http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1.../Smilywais.gif
