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 Completed Upload Changes to 0 KB/s

After leaving LimeWire running for an extended period of time, I will have a screen full of "uploading" files showing an upload speed of 0 KB/s. Today, I verified that many files that appear be uploading normally change their status to this shortly after completion. I assume that they are actually taking up upload slots, so I would like to stop this from happening. Perusing all the available options didn't lead me anywhere, so any suggestions?

This problem is stronly related to bandwidth limiting - Tools|Options|Uploads|Basic...

If you set the slider to 100% this will solve most of the problem.

There is an upcoming fix in a future version of LimeWire.

Notwithstanding the previous answer, how long do the completed ones remain for you? The same thing happens to me, but it's just a temporary thing before it switches to "Complete" - I figure it's just some housekeeping on LimeWires part.

Treatid, Thanks for the quick reply. I already had my bandwidth pegged out at 100%, so I guess I'll have to wait for the upcoming code mod.

tross04401, Once a completed upload changes to "Uploading 0 KB/s", it seems to be a pretty much permanent situation until I kill it. When I'm downloading, I've noticed what you're talking about. But like you, I assumed it was just doing a little housekeeping and they do quickly turn to "Complete", so no harm there.

<nod> That's interesting, every upload has always gone to complete for me, and I'm not using 100%. The only time it stays at 0KB/s is on "Transfer Interrupted" - and even then it doesn't tie up any upload slots. Wonder why it should behave differently (I'm using 2.5.5 Pro on Linux).

I have this problem too. Slider already set to 100% and auto clear checked.
This is on iMac DV running Mac OS 9.2.2.

After about 8 hours all uploading stops because all my slots are full of these "phantom uploads". After killing them, normal uploading starts again after a couple minutes.

This is a problem only when I leave my Mac running unattended for a long time.

Interesting - Yes that's the problem, but I was fairly sure it was associated with bandwidth limiting. If not, the upcoming fix may not help (As I understand it - a problem was found in a piece of code that is only called when bandwidth limiting is enabled).

FWIW - I'm on W2K here.

Question re: setting the upload slider to 100%

If I set it to 100% (or unlimited), does that hinder my download speeds? I sure don't want to slow them anymore than they are.

I currently have my uploads set to around 50% (25 kb/s). What I didn't realize was that it was shared between all uploads. Or, at least, it seems to be.

I am on a Cable modem and my downloads run on average at about 10 kb/s. Very few will run over that. And even more rare are the ones over 100 kb/s.

So, back to the original point: What effect does my upload speed setting have on my download speed?

Thanks!

Well, that's one difference with my setup, I don't have it automatically clear completed uploads.

Maybe this only occurs under Mac OS? When I have the 0 KB/s problem, it's under OS-X on my iBook. On my PC running Linux, I haven't noticed this happening, but I tend to be online less with my PC and I'm running an older version of LimeWire there, so it's not an iron clad comparison.
