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. |

 Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is it True/False? If false then there might be something partially blocking. Go to LW's menu Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall Configuration & tell us what the settings are. |

| I checked and it says received incoming sessions = true my firewall settings are set to port 6348 so i have now changed according to the instructions to 6346 for udp and tcp....still same thing happening. I've been on for an hour and have received 1% of a file in all that time. |

| Well I could suggest you search for more sources by searching the topic again. Another is to stop it & reseltect it from the search results. This can sometimes jump it into action. Another is to close LW & re-open. It might also be your preferences. Make a note of all your LW settings & then close LW. Then delete the LW Prefs; see: Fixes for Limewire There didn't seem anything wrong with your firewall. Also some other hints: A well set-up LW can start to automatically 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. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities. eg: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...028#post116028 |

| Try using the stop button on them & then re-selecting them. Do it a number of times whilst doing another search as well. Just make sure you re-select the same file from the search list (it will have an icon of an open manilla folder & if you stop it, it will change to a ripped piece of paper. The reason I said to close & re-open LW is that some other people over the months found that was the way to do it. But it's an odd & painful way of doing it! After you open LW you should always let it settle down 1st! Depending on how many incomplete AND how many shared files you have, LW can take some time to load them & to connect for each individual incomplete file & also account for each of your shared files. It takes about 10 mins on my computer in mac OSX (but took me over 2 hours in mac OS9 on the same dual os computer). So it can depend on the no. of files & your system. But I wouldn't normally do anything with LW for at least 20 mins after opening. It normally looks after itself. But there's those times I want to find something new, or it's one of those days I have to slog over getting the incompletes restarted. Sometimes LW needs a bit of baby sitting so to speak! lol   |

| I give up....I've been connected to Limewire now for over an hour and my downloads are still sitting at only 3% downloaded with an excellent connection and 0 kb/s downloading from 3 hosts....it would be quicker for me to have someone else search and send to me over a messenger service.... |

| Then close LW down. Then open up again. Leave it. Let it settle. Go away & have a cup of coffee before doing anything with LW. LW is best & most stable if it's left to its own devices for a time. Also keep in mind some days & times are better than others. If the people who have the file go offline then ... |
