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.

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. |

 please help- progress problem ok. this is my first time here. ive been using limewire for some time. i was cleaning my computer files yesterday, and cleaned all of the 'corrupted files' out of my incompletes folder. i have about 50 files still there, all with significant amounts of progress saved. when i opened limewire today, all the files i was saving were gone. i found them in the library. hit 'resume'. they all resumed, but back at 0 progress. i still have the originals in the incomplete file and limewire is set up to download to that same folder. i dont know what else i can do to get limewire to acknowledge the progress. some of these were hard to get and so i dont want to give up. please help thanks  |

 Hi, marypatric... 1st, don't necessarily panic !  You probably only need to 'rename' the partial files... Hang on here for some others to respond with more info... In the meantime, do NOT do any Hard Disk Defragmenting, OK ? I would happily answer your query if you were using BearShare but I am not familiar enough with the day to day ops with LimeWire to be confident with a general answer regarding the renaming of temp (partially completed Downloads) files... I assume that the process must be the same for both clients... But it is best for you to wait for some other regular LW users to reply to you. ------------- Last - As you can see, I have moved your post to the LimeWire Forum...

| Probably the best way to delete files from our incomplete folder is to delete them via LW's Library window (but you need to be VERY careful to select the right ones!!!) But you need to delete them from the LW's Dwnld window 1st before you do this. That way the download.dat file which records their progress is updated. By deleting outside of LW & with them still listed on LW's dwnld present dwnld list, I guess it has upset LW's dwnld prefs. Solution, I do not normally recommend to force resume files b/c as you found, a high % of the time they begin at 0%. The safest way is to manually search for the sources & reselect them to dwnld. If you haven't chosen the right one, then delete it from the dwnld window & select another from the search results. Likewise, this is what you should do now. Delete them from the dwnld window. Search for their resources & dwdld them as you normally would. Again, if they start at 0%, you know you haven't got the right one. There's a much greater chance of successfully getting them to resume where they should resume doing it this way, but, it takes a lot of your time b/c you have to do each one individually. You need to be patient & persevere. There's no 100% chance this will succeed but in my experience it usually works for me. |

| The technique I suggested can work & more successfully than force resuming, but, sometimes if the dwnld preferences are corrupt. Then there's nothing you can do. Force Resume makes LW try to find the 1st source it can even if it isn't always the right one. It can also play havoc with your connection quality if you force resume a great no. of files b/c they are continually searching out every few mins. |

| hi thanks for your ideas. i tried these and they havent been successful. force resume isnt working on any of them, and i tried one at a time. also, im sure i have found the same files in search, due to their long specific titles, but it also didnt get limewire to recognize the progress. ALSO- i forgot something until now. this morning, when i started the program up, it had me go through setup again. its never done this before. and my incomplete files are all in red. this probably means something but i dont exactly know what. thanks again  |

| It sounds as though you've deleted your LW preferences. Either that or they've become corrupt. Alternatively see this post (click on link) |
