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. |

unable to connect with peers. uhhh first of all i registered but i haven't gotten the confirmation email yet. once i do, i'll be logged in as blujeankitty. any replies as blujeankitty are still me. :D 1. windows XP. 2. i have a mcafee firewall, which is disabled (Received incoming this session: true ) 3. 2.39 GHz, 512 MB of RAM. 4. one hard drive (c:\), total disk space is 34.4 GB, free disk space is 13.3 GB. 5. connecting using AOL for broadband 9.0 optimized (cable connection) 6. router is 2.4 GHz 802.11b linksys wireless access point router, i'm not sure about the modem, but it's roughly an inch thick & five inches wide, black, with upside-down triangles as lights that just love to blink :p they are both in proper working order, i can connect to practically anything (instant message servers, websites, AOL, etc, but there's trouble connecting to some sites that use java like {don't laugh} runescape.com) 7. connecting from my home. 8. limewire client 4.8.1 pro, java 1.5.0_02. 9. america online. 10. bug test claims received incoming this session is true. 11. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml followed these instructions completely & accurately. my problem: my quality claims to be turbocharged with all five bars filled & a bright teal color. i can search & successfully locate hundreds of files that match my query, most are four stars & many of them have tons of users downloading. i've begun many downloads from four star users with numbers anywhere from 50 to 100 & sometimes more (but also sometimes less) & every time, the download refuses to connect to any of those alleged "50 users". i have SEVERAL downloads right now, possibly up to twenty, & only a few of them have even reached percentages above 50 since i started the download days ago. only about three or four are downloading, saying "downloading from 1 host", speed is either 0 or 1 KB/s, & the time estimates at least two hours (for an average sized mp3 file) i know it's not limewire's fault because at my boyfriend's house, it takes him less than a minute to complete a mp3 download. but there's something wrong with my computer, or connection, or something; but it's getting rather frustrating. i'm here in hopes that this can be fixed. thank you all! <3 |

Well keep in mind these: autogenerated spam results & T3 Spammers; mp3 Bit-Rates Versus File Sizes Perhaps you should try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire Some other points: Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue! After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins before using. Let it settle down 1st. Set both uplds & downlds to autoclear. Also don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time. 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 By the way if you wish to do a test send me a pm. But you must be a member to send a pm. |

If you're refering to the forum site membership then check your junkmail just in case. If you're refering to LW pro then make sure you pay no more than US $18.80 by getting it here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml |

i use outlook express. there is no folder with that email in it. & i went to sign up again & i used the same email as i did before & it said "sorry this email is in use". then i went to retreive password & it claims it sent the pass to my email. i have neither of these emails. -_- kitty [at] digital-hearts [dot] net there ya go. |

So you're refering to forum membership. Yep it can be a hassle. Happened to me at start of year. lol Recheck again, it might be delayed before you receive it. By the way if you use maximum filters on your email then perhaps it's being blocked from being sent to you. The address is Gnutella Forums Mailer <forums@gnutelliums.com> Actually I've just realised, the server for this site went down over a week ago & I suspect it's running on a backup system. Nobody has been receiving notifications from the forum about posts on the forum. Go to Site Feedback section of the forum & you'll see a thread about this issue. Feel free to add to it or create your own thread in that section to explain your scenario. |

Big Problems Connecting I've followed the instructions for resolving connection problems as best I can. I've reinstalled Limewire (4.12.11), Java and reset the Norton security and Windows firewall settings. Before these problems started, I used Limewire without any glitches. Please can someone advise any further action? |
