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.

Post Downloading Files

If you are new to limewire you have to double click the result to download or you have to click the result once and then click the download button icon. If you've done the above then perhaps there is an issue with you window arrangment that is the horizontal bar that splits your search results from your downloads -- you might need to adjust it. If you want to check to see if you have any transfers you would open your library tap

Select the Incomplete Files folder and hit the refresh button. You should see the name of the file you are downloading the the size of it should keep growing with each refresh. That's one way to determine if your downloads are working. However a better way is to goto /tools/statistics/bandwidth/downstream you should see your counters moving (incrementing)

Hope this helps.

Post Slow Downs

If you are experiencing download slow downs the remote host is probably overloaded with download requests. It's a simple resource and demand problem.

No much you can do about it.

It appears that you want to operate in leech mode that is be able to download stuff but not upload. Is this correct and if so, why?

Regarding upload requests coming from your computer even when the program is disconnected -- Well, when you disconnect limewire you just stop it from returning results to the network. But as long as the program is still running that is, in the system tray or as a window -- it acts like a web server and continues to provide files for people who have that computer listed as a source for downloads. Even after you reboot your computer those requests will continue to come in for some time and there's nothing you can do about it.

As for how to configure your limewire for leech mode -- I could tell you how to do it but I won't especially not on the forum because the forums are full with people complaining of download problems could you image the problems people would have if everyone started to configure their clients so that no one can upload from them?

This may or may not help: See the following link & follow all the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help solve your problem: To continue files downlding (click on link) It might also be worth seeing the links here: Downld/Upld Problems Sticky

sftmb it might be worth deleting your LW preferences whilst LW is closed; if you're a windows user then see Fixes for Limewire & there's animated examples at bottom of that page. (OSX prefs founds here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire) Make sure your maximum downlds is set to 1 or more, & also that your Days to keep Incomplete files is a high no. like 999. Also, be careful about clicking no to the licencing question & choosing always use that answer. That might be your problem. The normal way to undo that setting is either deleting the prefs folder or go to LW's menu Tools>Options>View>Popups & tick the Revert to Default option & press apply. Revert Popups to Default
