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. 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. |

 Download Speed Sucks Hi new member of Limewire Pro, I heard so much about the speed on limewire so I got the pro version. My first couple of downloads were great and I was happy as hell. Then the more I tried to download my dl speed went to 2 to 6 kp/s this sucks big time. I've not seen anything over the 6 kp/s in two days now. I have a brand new computer top of the line with a gig of memory and have nothing running in the background. Is there something I need to configure different or what? What gives? Rocky  |

| How do you connect? DSL, Cable, 56K? If you are on broadband, try downloading a very popular song, that is green T1, and has 20 hosts, it should come in 50K -300K/s... and be sure that you are not host to the W32.KWBOT.WORM, thousands on P2P are and it is a pain. |

| Re: DL Speed Hi LimeflowerPower, I am using cable so like I said when I first got on Limewire my downloads were fast as hell, but zip 2 to 6 kps. What is green T1, I know T1 is broadband speed right. I've downloaded a few songs and the same thing happens speed wise. I used Norton's Anti-Virus also. Rocky |

| Hi all I downloaded Limewire Pro last night and so far I have managed 50 kps once the rest of the time its between 5 and 10 sometimes as slow as 1 kps. This is very disappointing as like someone else here I have a brand new computer with 512 ADSL what is wrong please? I did a full check before I posted here with Norton and it showed up nothing, what I cant understand is the Bit rate of the file I was going to dowload said 160 what is the reason for such slow dowloads? I am not an expert at all and was expecting that having a new computer and upgrading my line from 56k Modem to ADSL that all downloads would be Whooosh like, can anyone please explain to me why this happens? Thanks in advance. Andrew.  |

| Shackey I agree totally, the speed really sucks I have tried numerous times on different days and once in a while a song might come thuough with a fast speed but nothing else does. I am looking for a new shareware client now, I am sorry I purchased this program, I hate when they promote their service and can't follow thru on their claims, such a shame!!! The first day I downloaded the service I was getting great download rates! They must put you on the back burner once you buy their product, lol. Rocky |

| Hi Rocky sorry to hear that you are suffering the same so perhaps now one of the persons in charge of Limewire might want to address these points please as we have paid for a service that you are advertising but obviously not providing, anyone please? Peace Andrew. |

| Powers to be I doubt it, they got our money, that's why no one wants to buy **** on the internet. You won't hear a peep out of them, they will just get fat and happy as all business owners do. We might get a message to update for a fee before you get any help to solve your current problems, lol. I am just so tired of all the spam in email and internet rip offs. No one has any answers for the little guy don't cha know!!! Rocky  |

| FYI: LimeWire is not a download service! It is a client for the Gnutella Network and you're downloading from people like me and you (i.e. we are the service). It doesn't matter how fast your connection or computer is as long as the person on the other side (your download source) is connected with an analog Modem. Well, Gnutella is a bit more advanced - e.g. simultaneous downloads from multible sources etc. - but not always are all sources available or let you download. So be an example and share your files and be an UltraPeer. This will improve our overall Gnutella experience. :-) www.magnetmix.com  |

| Hi rkapsi Sorry to seem so down, but it does get you down to see files you are trying to download are dragging along and files that are being uploaded from my computer just zipping along. I have tons of files to share and don't mind at all, I can understand how a file would drag coming from a modem but from a T1, DSL or cable connection they were flying when I first got the program and now it sucks big time.

| I have bellsouth.net DSL. On most things like loading pages it is much faster than the old 56k dial up. However, on the majority of the files I download they run about 1 or 2 kb/s. Now manyof the files are 3000+ kb. And 3000 seconds ... well you do the math. Some of the files will d/l at 40 or 50 kb/s but most don't. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks in advance, dd |
