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.

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. |

 Not sure what this is all about, but I've found that kazaa (www.kazaa.com) to be a viable alternative. You still have to be patient with downloads, but certainly none of this 'incomplete' rubbish with a folder full of half a dozen unfinished downloads of the same file! Since changing to kazaa I'm yet to have an unsuccesful download. (no I don't work for them!) Daz  |

 I agree....I have used Kazaa for 2 years now with super results. I never waited more than 2 hours for a requested song. My husband bought me a Mac for my birthday, and I can't use Kazaa anymore with it. I am a spin instructor and I also used to use Audiogalaxy for music for my classes. They are now defunct. I am now a Limewire user and I think it sucks big time. I have been waiting 3 weeks for 5 measly songs to download. I keep getting Requery sent blah blah blah. How long should I wait before I give up? I feel like the people at Limewire are in a room laughing at all of us, saying..."Look at these idiots....they think if they wait long enough their song will actually download...what a bunch of losers!!! Yeah, I agree with the guy who said "don't use Limewire" I wish I never had downloaded the upgrade for 10 bucks. I should've flushed 10 dollars down the toilet. I would've gotten more excitement out of it. Sorry, I am usually not so negative but I am so disgusted. |

| Don <<The rest of my response is a bit off-topic, but suitabe in your case. Personally, I don't see the so called "Mac advantage", when 90% of the programs these people want to use are not compatible with their OS. Frankly, I'd rather have the whole gambet... and crash once a week... or maybe loose 20mb of a download occasionally. Just my preference, I guess. >> Yeah, I totally agree. I still haven't warmed up to Mac yet myself, but I wanted to see if Limewire sucks as bad as I thought, so I loaded it onto my office PC. Guess what. Still sucks. So far my spinning classes have had to do without new music until I find a program that actually works as well as Kazaa. Can't rely on my office computer for downloading from Kazaa. I just tried it with Limewire for comparison and sure enough, Don't use Limewire it blows. Anyone have any recommendations for Mac? (even though it is not my preference, it is all I have) Thanks |

| If you want mac alternatives just search for kazaa or gnutella at http://versiontracker.com/macosx/index.shtml for OS X or if god forbid you are still using something other than OS X at http://versiontracker.com/macos/index.shtml I don't know why limewire downloads seem to fail left and right but hopefully it's something they can fix someday. |

| Limewire & Mac & PC's, oh my Curiouser and curiouser... Just my 2¢ here. I don't get the problem. I use Limewire all the time and have very, very few problems. Especially compared to other networking situations. I've downloaded some pretty obsure things from single sources and not had to wait more than a few minutes. Oh, and I will only run Limewire on my Mac. I have absolutely no doubts that using it on my PC would be a complete disaster since it hangs & crashes constantly no matter what I try! Networks can be frustrating on occasion, but that's just the nature of the beast. |

 Re: Limewire & Mac & PC's, oh my peerless says: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ yep...no problemos here either.... I am of the opinion that most of these TROLLISH posts are from ppl who want to steal LimeWire users to their client...they probably think it is just standard business practice to act in such a fashion.. I think they are jerks (actually I would use more applicable wording, but it would just get censored.....) That's okay - those who use Mac's tend to think outside the box anyway, and can come up with our own creative substitutions for "jerk", all of which would be highly appropriate... |
