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.

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. |

"Transfer Interrupted!" problems I just started running Limewire, and it seems to be working fine, but for a couple of key probs: 1) My uploads keep getting stalled out with "Transfer Interrupted!" messages. At first, they were just really slow (~6.0 KB/s alternating with 0.0 KB/s), which was annoying but doable. Then, about halfway thru the first song someone was trying to download, it started getting interrupted. They would keep reconnecting and being able to download another percentage point of the file, but then be interrupted again. Obviously this has got to be annoying for the person on the other end, and makes my shared files basically worthless. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? I'm at a university connected by ethernet (TI). I know that the univerisity blocked uploads of Napster when it was big (I could download but the sharing didn't work), could this be the problem here (Since it was at least going slowly at first, I thought it was ok)? Also, can I get around it by putting my IP address into the Forced IP slot in the options as if I'm behind a firewall? I tried this but it didn't seem to help. If anyone has any idea, please let me know. 2) Also, I'm wondering if my setup is messed up, 'cause even my downloads are really slow. As I said, I have an ethernet connection (yes, it's awesome), but the downloads are much, much slower than what I've seen in the past. Thanks! ~alissa |

I have exactly the same problem. Upload transfers are constantly interrupted; I'm on a cable modem, using the Mac version. Out of 100 attempts, maybe one will complete. I'm using Norton Personal Firewall but have allowed access on a Port for Limewire. My downloads work OK, although I frequently see files that show up in search that I simply can never access. |

I have the EXACT same problem. All my uploads time out with Transfer Interupted. Many people have tried to grab files, but the continuously get interupted after 1 or 2 %. This will continue until they eventualy get a file, or they give up. Those that get the files do so 1 - 2% at a time, and it takes forever! I have a Mac G4, OS 9.2.2, cable modem in perfect working order. No firewall. The pevious version of Limewire didn't have this problem. Any ideas? |

Constant Transfer Interrupted errors I'm glad I'm not the only one that this is happening to. But, the rapidity of the resumption of the upload convinces me that the user trying to obtain the file isn't seeing the interrupted transfer and clicking on the resume button. It happens too fast for that. I suspect this is part of the code in Limewire, perhaps related to the GET ANY command, where Limewire keeps trying to get a completed upload by visiting different "servers" - once it finds one, it needs to STOP and let the upload proceed. |

I agree Yes, this is certainly an internal software bug. I have also noticed the reverse effect of the same bug. I have tried to download files in which I get a decent download speed followed by zero. This continues to alternate until the file is uploaded, but in the end I am really getting a 50% reduction in download speed or more. On a side note, I have also noticed that I have been getting very poor connections to the net. I use "ELTON JOHN" as a bench mark. In previous versions of Limewire I would get over 1,000 hits. I have been trying this benchmark now for 3 weeks. I alternate between 100 and 500. Clearly something is not right.\ I hope the creators of this recent version know whats wrong and can correct it. I wonder if the PC side is having this same problem. As it now stands, Limewire is nearly useless. I can't wait for a Mac version of Morpheus. ClownFish |

Anything after Limewire 1.7 is crap Yep, I agree. Everything after LimeWire 1.7 is crap; plus the newer versions have ads, plus spy ware built in. Just slow, clunky garbageware. But, LimeWire 1.7 has been great and was a major improvement over Aimster, which would crash constantly in the middle of transfers, resulting in songs that never finished. I'm sure Aimster has joined Napster in the grave yard of dead technology. LimeWire will be next. The good thing about Limewire for now is that it's based upon an open, public network. There's no way they can prevent 1.7 from working or "lock it out" of the network. Just be sure not to delete your old installer and old version if you want tot est the newer version. But, trust me, don't bother. I'll keep my eye out for Morpheus Mac. |

Actually, I have been having exactly the same problems too with my uploads that other people are trying to get from me - they all just do about 1 % and then they say "Transfer Interrupted". It's very frustrating. I've seen quite a few people give up on trying to get things from me, although one person I saw did persist and get the whole file, which was nice. Also, in reply to the previous poster's question, about where to get older versions of LimeWire from, I saw on the Troubleshooting FAQ that you can go to http://limewire.gnutelliums.com/x.x and just replace the "x.x" in that address with the version number you want. I hope this helps. I'm gonna install LimeWire 1.7 (which I'm downloading now) and see if it helps completing uploads. Thanks all, Arko |

Just to reply to ClownFish's message about getting less hits for that test: You've probably already thought of this, but do you have the Quality and Speed settings in the searching category in the options box set to show you all the results, like even the one star quality links and the modem connection links? Just though this might help, just in case you hadn't thought of it already. Thanks, Arko |
