If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you. To aid helpers in solving download/upload problems, LimeWire and Frostwire users must specify whether they are downloading a torrent file or a file from the Gnutella network.
Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Thumbs down Just Paid for PRO = thinking free was better

I've had nothing but problems since paying for the PRO version...

I can connect even less than I used to (didn't used to be a problem that much, now it's every other time).

I am continually not seeing my downloads when I open limewire - esp annoying when I'm downloading a large file that is taking a long time.

No, it is not quicker - things I used to be able to download in around half an hour have barely moved overnight.

Files sit there waiting to be downloaded with 0Kb - when I use my other PC, which has the free version on it - no problem.

Will I be paying for this again when the six months is up? No!

And before some smart-**** tries to ask me if I've waded through the forum yet to spend hours trying to find the solutions to these, the answer is no - i should not really have to if I have paid for it, should I?!

Well I guess you're not really interested in finding a solution for your problem here.

Maybe you should post over at this forum: LimeWire Forums where you may get a response from a LW employee. Or contact Pro support: http://www.limewire.com/en/support/pro/step/1

We're all volunteers at this forum & really don't have too much patience with wankers who register just to bleat about their problems & make it plain that they have no interest in using their initiative (or a forum search lol) to find a solution, or to ask for help.

Read your post again... you haven't even asked for help. Just chucked a hissy fit. What do you want from this forum? Help? Or just somewhere to post a rant??

Best of luck on your p2p journey.

Cheesy Very Polite!

Birdy,
I thought that was a very polite way of putting this person in their place. Personally, I don't think it even deserved a reply, just reported and unable to log on to their account. Let them contact the paid employees.

WAY TO GO BIRDY!

UK Bob,

The wankers are still at it: "This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."

Those wankers will never stop. I remember Sony CEO being quoted saying the Internet was the worst thing ever invented.

Guys

Sorry you can't see this YouTube video where you are, it's a noisy, comedic animation by "Weird Al Yankovic” called “I'll Sue Ya".

It kinda goes nicely with C99's rant.

Your downloads won't be wiped out. At least one other person complained their download %'s showed zero after updating LW. However once these files actually start downloading these files should show the previous download %. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...led-files.html
