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. |

 windows xp crashing Can anyone explain this problem... When I am downloading music, peridically Limewire (the connection speed and time remaining) seem to halt. When this occurs, my pc then reboots itself and takes ages to begin again. When I use other programs (Winmx and Kazaa Lite), these never cause my pc to crash. Admittedly, Limewire is superb and when it does work it is great. BUT this crashing the pc is doing my head in. any help? steve   |

 1. How much ram do you have? 2. Hard Disk space available? 3. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 4. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 5. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 6. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) 7. Do you use the Resume button to continue all your incomplete files? |

| 512 ram HDD 80gb main, 120gb secondary connection type is Webstar 100/200 Blueyonder cable for my 1mb broadband. Home connection Linewire is the latest Pro version java is this : Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Runtime Environment Version 5.0 I do use the resume button. I do not think anything is wrong with my pc (I happen to use an identical one in my work), since other P2P applications never fail. Need any further info? |

| Using the resume function on many files simulaneously can have side fx. It can use up all of LW's resources as well as your computers & may even affect your connection. My advice is to let LW settle before doing anything. After opening, leave it for half an hour or so, then do your searching, or if you wish, choose a few files to resume. But don't select all to resume at the same time. Some 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 |

| If it's crashing then something's wrong. You can try to reduce load by reducing the no. of incomplete files. You can set both uplds & downlds for autoclear, disable ultrapeer capabilities, reduce upld bandwidth to 70-80%. |

| Hmmmm was reading some posts on this earlier. Seems some have resolved this by uninstalling then reinstalling java. I would try LotR suggestions 1st, and use this as a possible option if they don't resolve the problem. Have a good day |

| Guys For your info, I installed the latest Java and, it seems that now LW appears to "freeze" instead of crashing the pc. If i have to change my upload and download speed, any ideas what it should be? Im 1mb cable and have no idea what the up/down speed is! Why does LW freeze for a few seconds now when it normally crashes? |
