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. |

 Full Connection But No Sources Ever!!! I dont know whats goin gon with LW. Since I upgraded to the newest version, I have been having the same problem! I get FULL connection every time. I find what I want to download (with the highest number of hosts).. Click on it.. tells me "connecting.........." and nothing happens! I have been trying for a week SOLIDLY to get some songs to download.. but still no luck! Eventually it just comes back saying waiting for sources or no sources - even tho there are over 90 hosts?!?! This is not on one song, but on MANY, thats why im thinking there has to be something wrong. I have no firewalls up.. so I dont know what the problem can be. Any ideas?  |

| This has been a major issue latley, there are so many fake files around at the moment it can get quite difficult to tell whats legit and whats not... The best suggestion would be to download from a smaller number of hosts under 20 and try entering different phrases into your search....

| ok - seriously - this still aint working. Let me give you an example - PINK - Who Knew (0 hosts for many - then there is one file there with 3 hosts but file seems to be incomplete, next above is 20 hosts..tried that with no success, next above is 25 hosts - Orson - No tomorrow (same thing!! ) doesnt matter how low I go with the number of hosts.. I managed to get one file to download - Christina Aguilera -Aint no other man Other than that - the rest look like all duds  This totally sucks! Does anyone know if something is getting done to rectify this problem?!? |

Kinda the same  I SOMETIMES get a full connection then it'll bounce between 1 bar and full. I have searched for files maybe 50 times and have received search results only 4 of those times. I have read all over this board and nothing fixes the problem. What gives? Does anyone have a clue? |

| I don't know about that.. I have full bars worth of connection, find the files in search, and then even when their are plenty of hosts it stays on "connecting..." and eventually goes to "need more sources." It does this no matter what file I try to download. |

| Try using different search terms, the more popular the song the harder it is to get... ie. just type in the artist or just the song tiltle... Experiment with it, thats what I do and if I cant get what I want.... I'll wait a few days and try again...
