Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

| I have a fix which worked for me so I am going to share it. -Go to Tools -Click Options -Expand Filters -Click Hosts -In the filter hosts box, add these to the list: Code: 66.*.*.* 68.*.*.* 38.*.*.* You can now search and you will have less T3 or Higher in your results. When I search now, I only get about 1 or 2 in my list. * Filtering these hosts will give you less results but also a less chance of downloading corrupt files * |

LW itself has no control over what files users put up for offer or choose to dwnld. This affects the entire Gnutella Network, not just LW but any other p2p app that uses the Gnutella network. Here's some background info.: Quality of Content on the Network & also Fake movies & why So this gives you an idea about how business scam the network & how some other organisations try to fight against p2p (such as the RIAA) who load up corrupt files for the most popular sought after to try to dampen people's enthusiasm for dwnlding music, etc. Lots of people do not title their files properly. For that reason, if you vary your searches you can often find the files (or other sources of the files) that you're after. Also see Corrupt mp3’s: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28801 about detecting which files are corrupt. Check the file's bit-rate v's size to see which ones look correct. If you see some that are the same bit-rate but different size then one of them will be corrupt & the other not. It's at times like these when you'e wanting to dwnld those popular files that dial up modem users can be very handy to have around. Backed up with multiple users/sources you can often still get them at reasonable speeds. |

| I click CTRL + A to select all available songs for download and click on download, and every single one of them EVERY SINGLE ONE is corrupt. Every single one of them is T3 or Higher. I've done what's suggested here and nothing works. |

| Comrade Wasabi: Try something that's not top 10 selling type of music. Even try a very old song just for experiment's sake. It sounds to me as though you do very limited types of searches. Try doing General searches. Just type in the title or artist or and artist - title. you should get more results! baker992964: Read this thread carefully & make a note of all links & suggestions. |

| Hm... If those T3 connections are RIAA spoof files, is it possible to beat them at their own game by downloading more than they can afford? I mean, hell, they have to pay bandwidth costs too, wethere they are the RIAA or not. So maybe we can stage a "**** Over The RIAA" week. Find a T3 peer that has a lot of bad files and seems to be RIAA, and download the crap out of it. Just a thought. IF this is possible, I wouldn't mind setting up a website or something to organize it. But then again, would be kinda hard. |
