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.

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. |

 Download Speed - HELP! I just installed limewire on my new computer at home and the download speeds are just not fast enough. I am set up with Cable internet, through a router. I just tested my speeds and It shows... Download Speed - 2758 Kbps Upload Speed - 146 Kbps It seems to be a pretty good broadband connection but yet it feels like i'm working on dial up. The max download speed I can generate when downloading a file is 2KB/s. I've been using limewire in my brothers home, he also has Cable internet, and I'm able to download at a much higher speed there. Typically a song will take an average of 1 to 2 minutes to download. Here at home it's HOURS!! Can anyone help me!? PLEASE. This thread was moved from the BEARSHARE program forum sections Last edited by Lord of the Rings; December 19th, 2005 at 09:47 PM.  |

| A. Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link) B. Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? C. Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 4. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 5. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 6. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)? 7. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. D. Let's try an experiment, download a magnet link file from here: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml Tell us what happens & what speeds you get. E. See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help: To continue files downlding (click on link) * Be aware, you can normally only downld as fast as the sources you're downlding from will allow; ie: how many & how much bandwidth they have available for you. Obviously the more the sources the better. Right-click on the top of the column bar on the downld window & choose to show vendor/version. So take a closer look at the people you're downlding from. Are the slow ones LimeWire (LW) or another such as Shareaza (RAZA) or another? |

| does he use the same internet provider as you ? anyways try this, go to the tools menu in limewire and select options. You get a new window, in this double click on advanced then firewall config. You need to change the Listen on Port to 80 and use manual port forwarding and change this to 80. Best regards marc |

| ****REPLY**** A. Windows Firewall is disabled, I configured the firewalls for Norton to allow access, as well as disabled them too but did not improve the situation. B. Did the sample, it said FALSE C. Description: 1. Windows XP 2. None that I can think of, i've disabled them all. 3. Motorola SB5120 Modem / Linksys BEFSR41 Router 4. Connecting from home 5. Limewire Version 4.9.37 / Java 1.5.0 6. Atlantic Broadband (Middletown, DE) 7. Sharing internet connection through router to my Playstation 2 ONLY. However only one is on at a time so there is no sharing involved. If i'm on the computer, usually the PS2 is off and vice versa. D. Tried the experiment and basically Magnetmix.com ran me through the LW set up steps again and opened up a 2nd LW window where the download began. Same speed 1 to 2KB/s MAX. E. Did not attempt this part...starting to lose hope. Anytime I've tried downloading i've only tried from Cable/DSL users or faster to help the process. Let me know what your findings are...Thanks for the help! |

| Make sure your Linksys device has UPnP set to ON!!! See example here Linksys UPnP setting (click on link) as yours will be similar. Then go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & make sure UPnP is checked. Your false finding is a firewall issue & it's most likely the Linksys. (just needs adjusted settings hopefully ... at worst manual port forwarding but leave that as a last resort for now!) You should not go without a firewall! See * Configuring Norton Internet Security but leave XP firewall disabled. XP & Norton are known to interfere with each others operation. That magnet link should be very fast. So let's hope it's just a set up issue & not your ISP that's shaping your p2p speeds. After the above change for the Linksys. Relaunch LW. Give it plenty of time to settle (20+ mins depending on how many shared files & incomplete files you have.) Then try again with the magnet link. See how you go.  Also redo the Bug Test to see if it's changed from False to True. But do the test at least 20+ mins after LW has been launched.  |

 Download Speed I am having the same problems. I have applied your suggestions and my speed has gone up from 2 to approx 5. This only applied to video, audio is normally pretty fast. A. Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access yes B. Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? false C. Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? Windows XP Home 2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall 3. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Motorola SB5100 / D-Link DI-524 4. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? Home 5. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? LW 4.9.28 / Java 1.5.0_06 6. Who is your isp provider ? Rogers Yahoo High speed connection 7. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. connection is shared between laptop & desktop computers. Both are rarely on at the same time. LW is installed on the laptop. D. Let's try an experiment, download a magnet link file from here: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml Tell us what happens & what speeds you get. starts out at 5-9 goes down to 0 and hovers around 2 E. See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help: To continue files downlding (click on link) * Be aware, you can normally only downld as fast as the sources you're downlding from will allow; ie: how many & how much bandwidth they have available for you.

| Choose nearest destination to a test site you can locate here: http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/speedtest/ Here's some more: (cross compare them) 1. http://www.dslreports.com/stest 2. http://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/default.asp But you need to have LW turned off at that time of the test & not use your connection for anything but the test. How do your LW downld speeds compare ... it all depends on how much your sources you're downlding from are offering in bandwidth, & how many sources. See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help solve your problem: To continue files downlding (click on link) Searching: Cant search well help |
