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.

Cool Unable to move to library

You're directory has probably hit it's limit as far as the number of individual files in it's root. Try creating a new directory under your current one and share it. I had the same problem just a few weeks ago and this corrected it.

My shared directory had 364 files at a combined sz of 1.47GB.

Default Lost file (442MB!)

I have LimeWire 4.2.6, and was viewing a 98% complete file (that had been that way for days!). Apparently, the source finally came back on-line, and the download completed while I was viewing it. When I closed the player, there was this message about being unable to move to library; the file no longer exists! The file was deleted from "Incomplete" even though it was not copied to the shared folder. I am NOT a happy camper!

This bug really needs to be fixed. If the file had simply been left in the "Incomplete" folder, I could have taken care of moving it, myslef. I also would have been able to copy it to a CD. As it is, I have nothing to show for several days efforts at downloading the file.

A related matter is that there should be some sort of priority set for high file size and high percentage of completion, so that this situation of waiting days for the last 2% of a 442MB file does not reoccur.

Default Unbelievable ... it happened again!

I chose to view a video that has been sitting at 98% complete for a week with no activity and (sure enough!) while I was viewing it, the download completed. That is two 420MB+ files that have been irretrievably lost by the LimeWire software. This certainly must qualify as a bug with a high priority on the 'fix it' schedule! I can understand not being able to move the file from 'incomplete' to the fully sharable library. But why delete it from 'Incomplete' before the move process is successful?

Have you tried following the directions in the first post that explain how to download a newer version of LimeWire?

I have 4.2.6, and everything that I have seen indicates that is the most recent version available. (I have had it about a month.)Will downloading a newer version require stopping current downloads (even if I do not install the new version)?

Unhappy LimeWire 4.4.1

I have now downloaded and installed the BETA 4.3.3 (which turned out to be 4.4.1) from the original post in this thread. I now find that I am an "UltraPeer", and the quality is now 'Turbocharged". Under 4.2.6 I rarely saw more than five users downloading from me; under 4.4.1 I have 20 active and 10 queued! That is a lot of difference! (Now if only I had had it before I lost those two huge downloads. )

I simply downloaded the newest version of LimeWire (4.4.1) without even knowing about this error (just to have it) and am now experiencing the "Could not move to Library" problem with the new version. I tried reinstalling, removing all previous installations, restarting my computer, changing library folders...EVERYTHING.

Please help!

I believe this problem has something to do with the Shared Folder location. I started getting this error after I moved my shared folder to my desktop. Could somebody tell me the default location and name of the shared folder? Thanks.

EDIT: The new version does work for me but I am trouble locating my shared files...
