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.

Default turbo drops to zero

My movie *** made it to 385mbs than I got cut off the Internet sometime last night I would like to know how I can resume this movie without it draining LW THE MOVIE IS 747mbs long and this is the second time it stopped because of my stupid Internet provider. 'man I can't Idol for more than two hrs' than they cut me off!. Anyhoot! please someone tell me how I can pick this one back up because every time I try to log on to LW with the movie pending for download I do as yaw'll told me before! Just let it resume on it's own and it does so pretty fast to! it starts downloading than I'll put the curser over the movie and it's building the host up real fast to their was 500 host 100 valid I think 250 invalid and some busy before I got cut off and once it starts to resume about 1 min later LW the turbo drops to zero and it keeps doing this on any incomplete download no matter the size! is their something else I can try doing please I have dial up and dialing in at top speed for dial up and I aim running windows me. O and also this is the only movie I have in my Incomplete folder I have nothing else in it. LW use to work great with the same setup I have now only than I was sharing many things and downloading many things and it never had trouble's reconnecting or draining itself and yes I'm still using 4.2.3 pro and the the basic Java cause that was when it worked it's best for me now LW CAN'T PICK BACK UP ON 1 DOWNLOAD I PERSONALLY DON'T THANK THAT IS THE CONSUMER'S FAULT. All this started happening when yaw'll went from 4.2.3 on up in my book! (4.2.3) was great! If it's not broke don't fix it.THANKS IN ADVANCE!
donothing


When I paid for this! This is what I had thought I was getting
Limewire Pro (4.2.3) than 4.2.5, 4.3.2, 4.3.3 AND SO ON!
NOW I LIKED 4.2.3 WITH ALL THE NEW TESTING THAT YAW'LL ARE DOING YOU DON'T THINK MAYBE THAT HAS SOMTHING TO DO WITH IT!

LimeWire allows you to search for multiple files at the same time, available in several different languages, and is most famous for its ease-of-use and cross compatibility. Limewire will run on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Sun, and other computing platforms.

1. NO BUNDLED SOFTWARE OF ANY KIND!
2. Better search results. Each search shows at least five times as many results as previously.
3. "What's New?" feature. Users can browse the network for the most recent content additions.
4. Search drill down results. Searches in LimeWire now immediately display the artists, albums and other information that fully describes files.
5. Faster connections on start up.
6. Proxy support.
Users can now use web proxies to route their downloads to protect their identity.
7. A new search progress bar in each search tab that indicates the percentage of completion of a search.
8. Detection. When the Internet connection is down or a firewall is blocking access to the Internet, Lime Wire will inform the user.
9. Support for International searches and International groups. Users can now search in any language, and LimeWire ensures that a user will be connected to other users with their own language to aide international users to receive search results in their native language and to find content from sources that are close to home.
10. Improved downloads. By excluding the bad file sources, we rapidly make use of all the good sources for faster and more reliable downloads.

LimeWire features the following:

* Ease of use - just install, run, and search
* Ability to search by artist, title, genre, or other metainformation

Sounds as though you have problems with your ISP. I hope you don't use AOL. That's known to cause problems for some people. Nice RED. Except it's a bit sore on the eyes. lol

I don't know why you keep losing your connection. How many files do you share. Some people filter out those that share less than a certain no. So if you share less than that no. you'd never be able to connect with them even though they show in your search results.

If you have people uplding from you then you should receive consistent results.

I'm not sharing none right now I have nothing in my shared folder could that be why I've been having all these troubles redownloading couse before I reformated I had LW AND yes I did always keep a few thigs in there to share and I could pick back up on several downloads just by letting LW settle and resume on it's own like you said befor but I didn't think not haveing anything in my shared folder would effect the movie i'm downloading unless I was downloading from that person Now if this sounds to you like what my trouble is I'll manually put stuff in thier
please tell ooo and also it is connecting just as soon as it connects and starts to download from like 4 to 5 host thats when it pulls LW DOWN from turbo to nothing well for instace I'm at LW right now redownloading it for the 3rd time and if I get cut off the internet for some resien when i reboot and get back online and open LW it will start downloading agian in just secouds but it drains LW'S TURBO TO NOTHING. So like now as long as it's a fresh download of this movie starting at zero i can talk to you , go anywhere on the internet and it stays on turbo but if i try to start the download where it left off last night at 350mbs i can't it starts fast than turbo drops to zero so i'm on 10% agian and been downloading it sence 3:00 am so if you get any idea's of how i can get the other one to start and stay on turbo I still got the movie and it's BAK FILE ON MY DESKTOP AND I WOULD RATHER START DOWNLOADING FROM IT COUSE IT'S ALREADY 40 MIN INTO THE DOWNLOAD 350 mbs of it. my doughter really wants to see this movie and I can't stay up all night just to make shure AOL DON'T KICK ME OFF THE INTERNET FOR IDOOOOOOLING LOL!
THANK YOU!

It could be the shared issue! The other day when I started up the Win LW it took its time to load up the shared files. But once it got past a certain no., all of a sudden a a couple of downlds mysteriously continued. That might have been luck or it could have been the minimum share requirement of the person(s) with those files.

Is it possible to set your AOL so it doesn't go inactive after 'any' period of time?

I don't know if the following image is any help. But it might help stop you losing connection if you forgot to set this to 'Never' hang up. Also did you see AOL 9 problem

Did you check your modem setting like I showed in the image to set it to Never disconnect?

I've never used AOL so I don't know what options they give & what rules they play by. Some dial up providers will disconnect you if they detect you haven't used the browser to go anywhere or other net search after a certain amount of time.

Dial up is 56 kbps which means you only have a maximum speed of 7 to 8 KB/s. There apparently are super speed dial up services now but I know little about them & I think you'd need to pay more for them. If you want faster speeds then you should be looking at broadband or cable connection. Those people who get 27 TO 40 KBS are using either broadband/adsl or cable. The other advantage of these over dial up is that they leave your phone free to use. If you're using dial up you can't use your phone at the same time. But they cost much more depending on your area.

Have a very careful look at the 1st image in the GiF. There should be an option below Make New Connection called Dial Up connection. This is Win 2000 by the way. Which version of Windows are you using?
