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 version 4.8.1

I have been using Limewire for a long time with no problems until I updated to version 4.8.1. I search OK and then start to download at a high rate, then it rapidly goes to zero. Had no problems with version 4.2.6. Can anyone send me this version so that I can see if that is the problem? Thanks.

Default version 4.8.1

Tried all the suggestions, nothing has made any difference. Checked with my ISP Shaw Cable, they say they do not block peer to peer sharing. Very disappointing as Liomewire used to be so reliable. Pat

And you believe what the people at the front desk say (who probably don't know) that they are not secretly filtering you. They might not be but they rarely admit it. Why would they admit they're cheating you.

Try a file from here & see what speeds you get: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml
These speeds should be very, very fast. If you don't get fast speeds then it makes one wonder. See this for the speeds you can get from that link: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...692#post138692

Hi. I did as suggested and tried some downloads with Magnet. Two of the files were audio and started strongly, then petered off. I tried a large file, an avi, and it downloaded at speeds from 19 kb to 24 kb until half way, then stopped. Started up again and finally I was able to download a complete file, the only one. All the other files from Limewire were sitting there either awaiting sources or downloading at 0 kb with no time displayed. Does this suggest anything. I have another query about my Firewall, Zonealarm. When I start up Limewire requests permission, then instead of Java requesting, the second pop up is also from Limewire. Is that the problem? Hope you can help.

I'm wondering if you haven't properly configured your firewall to allow LW full access. By the way Win XP has its own firewall. (Advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); config instructions: Firewall configuration instructions

Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? If your result is false then something's partially blocking your LW. Be that a firewall or modem/router.

I hope it's not your isp provider who is causing your downlds to slow down.

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

Hi. My bug report says false for received incoming:
I have Win ME Limewire 4.8.1 128 MB Ram Java 1.5.0.01
My ISP is Shaw Cable and I download from home. I am not a very experienced computer user but I had no problem with the previous version of Limewire, thats why I wanted someone to send it to me. I have 6.31 GB space. Any ideas?
