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.

Thanks...Jim
I'm running MAC OS 10.2.6. The corrupted file message also appears when I download only 1 song at a time. Often it stops at 99%, and when you click "yes" (you want to continue download), the downloaded file disappears in digital nirwana. I'M really curious to hear whether Windows users go through the same, or whether it's only the MACs.
It really sucks...

My immediate guess is pure coincidence. I mean, if it's "almost every" file, than it's not a permanent, consistent glitch. It's inconsistent. I'd suggest to continue to download, and see if you're luck improves. It could be that you've just been unlucky in your downloads. Come back after a couple more downloads and tell us what happened.

OK, I'm running LW2.9.11 on OS10.2.6 and I have not seen any increase in the number of files flagged as corrupted. Whenever I see the warning, I always continue to the end and test the quality of the download. As we are always dealing with old copyright-free material, there can be many "faults" in the quality of the recordings. Hence, I take a pragmatic view. During my period of Limewire use, I think I have discarded about a dozen as "this would drive me insane if I tried to listen to this again" files. The vast majority of those flagged have only a few minor blemishes. Those which have more intrusive faults, I remove from the sharing folder to prevent spreading the "problem" further downstream (we all do that, don't we?!?). The others I leave for others to share (sorry about that but, since folks are getting what I offer without payment, they cannot expect the same uniformly high quality as from a purchased product, now can they?!?).

Thanks for the response. I understand that LimeWire/Gnutella requires a certain amount of “Baby Sitting”, but can say with %100 certainty that the problem I “And apparently others” are experiencing is a new one. I have been using LimeWire via OSX, for over a year, and have been able to download music files in quantity with few if any corrupted files. Last week I started getting consistent corrupted files. “I mean every file!” "And they disapear into oblivian, no matter how I choose to deal with them". Something has changed! Either with the latest version of LimeWire or my system. (I am leaning towards my system). Another user suggested repairing permissions which I did reluctantly. “Must admit that performance did seem to increase” However the same problems appear. I really have no answers, but here are some consistencies:

1 If I download 1 file at a time I have no problems. (Noted by another Post..Thanks)
2 If I download 2, files, the first will download without a problem, but the second will be corrupt.
3 After that 99% of all files I download will be corrupt until I reboot and go back to “one file at a time.”

You know, I appreciate the fact that this (The LimeWire Network) is a good thing, and am willing to accept the shortcomings of the platform. (Downloading one file at a time is not that bad) The frustration comes when something that works well stops working well. Still searching…Jim

Unhappy I've had the same recent problem

EVERY file is corrupted. This is a problem that began only a few days ago, up until then I could download several files at a time. it is very frustrating. Would somebody at Limewire PLEASE explain the problem??

Ok, people, i'm not Limewire, but I can help. If it's a version change, I would advocate switching to jum's build of Limewire, which can be found at http://baghira.han.de/~jum/. Jum's version seems to fix many common OS X bugs. Perhaps it'll fix this one.

That build of limewire does nothing to solve the file-corrupt problems. It seems as though the Limewire folk have run into a problem with compatibility for 10.2.6. Oh well, hopefully they'll catch up to speed before they lose all of us to morpheus or kazaa when they come out with their mac versions....
