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 4.8.1 definitely a bug on Resumed download always starts at 0%

Despite what others have said about this - it wasn't a problem for me until 4.8.1. I never shifted the files from my incomplete folder, never touched the .dat files, didn't have a crash, etc., etc., but since 4.8.1 instal - downloads begin at 0% - even when I have some 300mg of a file - it returns it back to zero and starts downloading the file again.

I have used my back-up folder of incompletes and re-installed LW - and deleted prefs. Same thing - it deletes the partially downloaded file and begins the process again of downloading files.

If someone knows how to fix this - please post - otherwise it is a bug that has serious problems and needs to be fixed.

Try deleting your main LW preferences folder whilst LW is closed, instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

Had tried that earlier - with no success. Same thing - returns files back to 0%. Probably only option is to go back to early version of LW - but that means all the partial's are useless.

Do you have another solution please ?

One in every 100,000 people says each present version has such a bug & have been saying that for 6 months or so. I'm really not sure what could be causing this problem. Most other people haven't had the same issue.

Yes LOTR. You are correct. I checked the forum before posting. I checked other postings and web searches. There are many posts regarding this. However, not everyone will post - some will just leave for another/diff P2P without saying a word.

This was not a problem for me until 4.8.1. Now the progress shows 0% and files that were not complete the day before - start back at zero. Recall, unlike other users - the INCOMLETE folder/files were not moved. There was no crash, etc.

One would have to say - that if it wasn't there a year ago (my prev update) and now it's been around for 6 months or so - then the program needs to be eliminated from the equation - at this point in time - that isn't happening.

Tech Support haven't answered other users questions on this - so there is no official word on why the problem or how to fixt it.

It's shame really. LW is a fairly good program when it functions correctly.

Many Thanks for your reply.

It would help if there was more information available on your system setup.

Computer type and CPU
Operating system and sp
Java Version.

It would greatly help to isolate this problem. As LotR stated not many people have this problem. and as you stated also they may just move on to another program.

Just a quick note: This is a forum and not tech support. We are volunteers that help the best we can, and have no affiliation with Lime Wire LLC other than using the program like other users.

Have a good day

The only occasions this has happened to me was every few months with LW 2, but I had an obsolete version of Java, which I couldn't update due to the OS version. And the other time was when I swapped back from LW 4.1.5 (or 1.7) back to LW 4.0.4 This happened 2 or 3 times. Strange b/c I was able to step back to 4.0.4 with the other in-between versions. But this didn't happen everytime I started the program; only on those particular occasions & circumstances.

Are you sure you don't have more than one version of LW on your computer? On windows, if you do have another version on your computer, it will sometimes run in the background without you realising. Do a complete search on your computer for limewire. Just a thought!

(Wow 3 posts in one minute! lol )
