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.

Unhappy Accidentally killing downloads

Will downloads resume from their current position if you accidentally press kill download?

I've gone to the library and pressed resume. Now my fingers are crossed that I haven't lost them for good!

Thanks guys!

Yes, if you click resume from the incomplete downloads folder they should resume from where they were when you killed them. Only on version 4.2 though (not really, but you should upgrade if you haven't already.) Good luck.

Question

Thanks deepblue!

I tried to download the 4.2.2 version and when i went to run it, it said that it was not a valid application. Do i need to uninstall my current version of limewire first? If so, will i lose my current downloads?

Hmm... well on windoze (I assume that is what you are useing) you shoulden't have to uninstall LW before you install a new version... but. I don't think your files are deleted when you uninstall, but just to be safe you should go the folder where you keep all of your shared files and cut and paste them to your desktop. Then you can remove the old version and install the new one. Let me know what happens. Oh, and you do have a recent version of JAVA don't you?

What's this got to do with LW. Hey do a search for afl & you'll come up with my club's club theme song for a start lol You'll also come up with video clips such as goal of the year etc. lol hey it's too late in the morning for mee! Rust never sleeps. This was an early rmit flash effort lol:

For java you have these choices: http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp for version 1.4.x OR
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp (take the JRE) for version 1.5.

Demons. I'm not laughing. I highly respect those that stick with their team. As I have. Unlike those that continually change just be follow the top teams.

My favourite got knocked out. The 3rd last one. But then I liked amelia from tas also.

By the way, it's not a good idea for force resume from the library. I'd do it as a last resort. But then, I'm not sure what changes LW 4.2 has made to improving this (I need to check on this.) To continue dwnlds, it's best to manually search for the sources. Likewise if you accidentlaly deleted a dwnlding file from teh dwnld window, it's best to re-select it from the search results or else, re-search it.

A well set-up LW can start to continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints.

Whatever you do, don't delete files from the Library window unless you're 100% sure what you're doing. Once they're gone they are deleted from your computer (you'd need a file recovery utility to attempt to get them back.)
