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 Connect to Limewire fine but download @ 1k??

Hi I'm having problems with my Limewire, even Kazaa Lite Ressurection is doing the same thing. I connect just fine, search results come up fast (I'm on DSL) but when I go to download it hangs around 0k-1k sometimes touching 2k for a brief second. Any ideas what's wrong? It's really annoying! Any help would be great thanks!

And I thought I was the only one having this problem. It is really annoying. Mine goes something like 0k-1k blink a few times and will get back to zero in no time. After going through the same motion for some hour or so, total amount of data build up is around 3-4%.

I did not encounter such problem before.Once the connection is successful, the download will just proceed accordingly. Nowadays it is different.Sometimes on successful connection, the word downloading is displayed without any further progress. The Ok bytes just stays idle. However at times, I do get a speed of 20k-25k like this morning for certain songs only.
In the afternoon, it is the same old problem 0k-1k.

Something is wrong somewhere. I have this question. Being a layman, I wonder whether there is any improvement if I download again the Basic from some other countries other than United States. Wonder whether it would help. The language may be foreign initially as I remember it is possible to change language in the menu . My question is whether it will speed things up.

Can anyone please advise.

First off let me thank the Admins for answering as many queries as you do, it is appreciated as I am sure it becomes quite repetitive.
I am having the same connectivity problems as mentioned above and after searching through the forums here and trying several of the mentioned fixes have not been able to remedy it. I have tried different computers, disabling firewalls, re installation, reset my router and modem, and everything else I could think of that was not mentioned already on the forums. I then called my ISP tech support to see if they recently started blocking / filtering any ports to which they replied no to. Before I mentioned anything about a P2P network the techie advised me that he had personally had about 20 calls over the last few days regarding my same problem and the next thing he said was that Lime Wire seemed to be having some problems. (I had not said anything about Lime Wire).
I, as several others by the looks of it, would greatly appreciate any effort put into checking the network for a connection problem as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

same problem here!! and i left the laptop running through the night, as i had a very good connection of 40kb/s and above just before i slept.

to my horror, 8 hours later, only 10% was downloaded!! and for the whole of today, it never ever hit double digit connection speeds.

First of all, let's thank Steif for putting a lot of effort with many people at the moment. Idon't know if any of this will help but here goes:
1) it would seem that if the host from which you are d/loading is busy, then that slows things down.
2) if the host is a modem connection, then that certainly slows things down regardless of your connection.
3) if the host goes offline and shuts down the PC, then you PC has to find another host to d/load from. That could take ages.
4) if your a modem user, save what you spend on your phone calls and buy a faster service. I never d/load from a modem and found a way to stop modems uploading from me. They slow down everyone else. Sorry, but that's fact.

Ok. After spending hours searching the forums here and on other p2p sites I have another question regarding this topic. I saw another thread on here somewhere (forgive me but I forgot exactly where) that was dealing with connection issues and I think it LOTR that advised to check the bug reports under the options menu to see if 'Received Incoming this session' had a response of 'true' or 'false'. I see that mine says 'false' and that it could be attributed to a firewall issue. I am wondering if this is the problem and if the other posters here have the same result in their bug report.
As stated before in this thread, I have no problems making the initial connection to LW, have an excellent to turbo charged Quality and my searches give fast results but when it comes to downloading I am at 0 to 1 KB/s. I am on a cable modem using Norton Internet Worm protection (which I have checked and ensured Lime wire / Gnutella is allowed, even disabled Norton in an attempt to find the problem) and I have Win XP Sp2 (Firewall disabled). I have had these same seetings for some time now and only recently began having these problems, I haven't made any changes that I recall to cause this negative change in LW's D/l behavior. My point is, is the 'false' reading I get under bug reports causing the problem, and are any of the other posters here getting the same reading (go to tools, options, bug reports-view example), and about half way down the page look for 'Received incoming this session'---------True or false next to it?
