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 know you are all trying to be helpful, but this is not a drive space problem.

Someone above already stated they are having this issue with more than 70 gigs free.

I'm having the same issue and I have more than 25 gigs free.

Default differant twist to same issue.

I just posted this issue today, guess I should have done a search first, sorry. But anyway, I built my system myself and have some knowlege of how it all goes down. I have never had an issue with limewire untill yesterday. I installed a new seagate 120gb drive as a slave. After that was done I put all my current music files on that drive to save some space on my primary. All went fine, files opened played no issues. But as soon as I point my LW save folder to the new drive EVERY download ends in a disk error. And they dont download all the way, maybe 15%. I havnt had any intermitten problems at all.

Ive formatted, reinstalled. All with no change. I can point the save folder back to my master drive and it works great. I even tried installing LW to the slave drive to see if that changed. NO result. So this problem doesnt make any sense to me at all.

i dont know much at all about my computer but i do know its not a space issue.
if its any help to anyone, files that display disk problem under status can be fully downloaded, it just takes a while. if you cancel a file when "disk problem" comes up, then select the file you are trying to download again and resume the download, it eventually downloads properly.

i dont have an answer to the problem, but hopefully this will help until an answer becomes apparent.

Question Disk error frustration

Surprise, someone else with the disk error status, except my downloads don't even begin to download. As soon as I click on a file to download, the disk error message comes up instantly. Like many others have said as well, I have plenty of space so that's not the issue. I have Limewire Pro and my computer is super fast. I've never had this issue before and I have been using Limewire for a long time. I wish I was posting some helpful advice but unfortunately on this issue I need the helpful advice. Thanks.

This had happened to me a few times and it did when the other P2P(Imesh) program started downloading music. I eliminated the program (even thou when it was off it did not affects at all) and the problem have not appeared since.

Unhappy Disk error/problem

None of the above issues are the same as mine, however they may all be related to the same origin...my issue is when I accidently cancelled a download, according to "TIPS" in LimeWire-you can go to the incomplete files,locate the download that was cancelled, highlight it and click resume download....well, every single time I have done that (several, sorry to say) the disk error thingy has resulted and the download did not ever resume. I had to do a total search and start over. The reason I posted the question is because the TIPS say this procedure can be done. NOT!
Another misguide in the TIPS section is telling us that to better our chances of locating the file we want, to be as specific/give as much info as possible by using genre/etc in addition to the song title or artist. This "tip" is erroneous and leads us to believe that our search is done better with more infl.[I]However[I]if you follow that advice, a pop tells you how silly you are and that you have put in too much info for the search to work. Just another weird little glitch in Limewire Pro....

Default Sorry To Scream So Loudly, But, This "disk Error" Problem Needs To Be Resolved....now

I'm gettin' really tired of having to go back and RE-SEARCH for a shitload of files that were in my DL Queue, which ALL OF A SUDDEN acquired the DISK PROBLEM error, when I have sufficient disk space, memory, etc. The only thing I DON'T have is any more PATIENCE!

Please address this problem ASAP, as it seems like it's no longer an inconvenience. It's spread to become a viable "opportunity" for you LimeWire Programmer Geeks to EARN YOUR MONEY!!!!
