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.

I'm having this same problem. I'm only on a DSL connection, though. I found leaving the downloads set to 8, and not giving LW unlimited bandwith helps alot. I've got my bandwith capped at about 30 kB/s. It seems to help a bit.

Default aye me 2

iv got the same problem, it doesent matter what i download, the speeds all start up at v good for me prahaps 50-70Kbs somtimes iv even got over 160Kbs but after about 30 mins they have all slowly and stedaly dropped down to 1-2Kbs and never recouver

i dont use a firewall and i know that the SP2 xp firewall is definatly switched off so please dont start on about doing this and that 2 my firewall settings and anyhow it cant realy be anything to do with firewall type problems as they start out with a realy good speed which they wouldent if there was that kind of problem.

i have found that if i log out and shut down AOL, wait 4 a bit then relog and rerun LW i get the speed back again 4 a while but not 4 long!

Can anyone please help its realy anouying and im not guna buy the pro version untill i know that its not guna do this as well.

Thx all Greg.

It is probably your ISPs limiting Gnutella traffic to save bandwidth costs Have you guys tried using LW on a different port than 6346?

The best way to tell if ISP limits traffic it to connect to the internet at some other place or via 56k to see if then traffic slows to 0kB/s.

Ciao

so R we all on AOL? (thats a retrospective question to all other poster) and im not sure about how we would change the port being used, can someone enlighten me a little please.

I would try the dialup idea but im not sure if i could tell if it was dropping anywhere cos i dought it would start out with anything other than a v slow speed in the first place and like i said mine dont drop compleatly two zero (supose it might have done if i had left it long enough but iv always quit at 1-2Kbs).

ok Thx all Greg.

for the 985th time 1kb/s = 0,125 kB/s. A 56kb/s can't reach more 7kB/s even with compression.

Greg: don't know what you are talking about for the AOL thing, AOL sucks why would I know about it?
Go in options->advanced-> firewall and change the 6346 value to something like 1000.

Also, enable the "distribution" (well that's the french name, don't know in english) column by right clicking on the download window column. If you see RAZA ou shareaza, then it is normal that the dl is slow, just bitch those users

err whats that all about ? i dident say dialup could go any faster than 7KBs, in fact its exactly becouse dialup starts at such a slow speed that i couldent realy c if its dropping anywhere!

No im not specificly talking with u, i just wanted 2 know if all the people who r getting massive slow down r useing AOL as there ISP, OBVIOUSLY U R NOT!, and btw theres nothing wrong with AOL but thats another argument .

i dont think that having 7 hosts on T1 or even T3 or higher offering 1Kb/s is normal at all, especaly when they were giving 160Kb/s 15 mins ago, and it happens on all of the dl,ing files at the same time.
