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. 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. |

Limewire unable to continue old downloads after restart ?? Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a fix? I never had any problems until I loaded LW 4.10, but now, LW seems to lock up after a while, then when I shut down and restart, it gives me an error saying that it cannot restart my old downloads? I thought if I uninstalled and put the old version back on that it would be fine, but that version is doing it now too. So, it may not be LW, it may be something else, or some new config file in 4.10 that is not getting deleted.... I don't know... Does anyone have any ideas??? Thanks James |

can't find Recent Download in vew version I've upgraded to the latest version of Limewire...and now even when I shut limewore down properly... if I restart it ..it can't continue or find my recent download... it also HANG's more than previous version... meaning if I leave the computer on all night..and wake up in the morning...I can't get into lime wire to check the progress... and if I reboot... it can't find the recent downloads.. I wish I'd never upgraded the download directory hasnt moved the .dat file and other stuff are still there.. so when can't it find the recent downloads |

doesn't help Thanks for the reply... but it does not 1) explain why the newer version keeps loosing the location of the incomplete..or recent downloads 2) help to restart a download that had been going for many hours...instead of picking up where it left off. Previous versions were not this bad... it's a problem that needs to be fixed ASAP |

I can't explain why other than it may happen to the odd person but is not widespread. I mean each person's system is different. A person can buy 2 identical pc's at the same time set up identically but they may suffer different problems to each other. That's the nature of pc's & windows, etc. Before you close down LW, Control-alt-del & bring up task manager & make sure LW has finished closing down before you shut-down the computer. My guess is there's some lag there in it closing down properly. It may or may not be worth removing your Java & reinstalling using the offline version or even stepping back to Java 1.4.2 but also using the offline installer. (i) Java 1.4.2 (Choose the JRE) or (ii) Java 1.5 (take the JRE) BTW history has also shown particular LW releases suit some people but not others, & then perhaps the next release was vice versa for some in each boat.

limewire consistently hangs since upgrade I've been having similar problems to those described in this thread. I've been using LW for a bout 4 months on a Win XP Sp2 system. I upgraded to 4.10.0 PRO a few weeks ago from 4.9.37. Prior to the upgrade I had absolutely no issues, everything was working sweetly. I often leave LW running through the night and check in the morning the status of my downloads. After the upgrade I find that just about every morning LW has hung. The only way out is via Task Manger. I've grinned and beared this for a little while now but being 50% thru a 700Mb file and then having to restart from 0% twice in a couple of days is really pissing me off, particularly as I have a capped download limit. I've trawled thru the forums to try and find if it's something I've done or some config, but everything seems ok. When I'm sitting at the computer and limewire is running there are no issues. Is there anything else I can do or check to stop this from happening? Note I upgraded to 4.10.3 yesterday hoping that would work, but to no avail. This morning it had hung again. At least I've (finally) learned a workaround to save my completes. Before abnormally terminating LW I check the download.bak and download.dat files. If the download.bak is not 0kb (which the download.dat usually is), I make a copy and rename it download.dat. After restarting LW it starts downloading from where it left off. What's this all about anyway??? Most applications when abnormally terminated, which happens a lot with Windows, don't automatically corrupt your data. Why does LW have to start with nothing again? I read a few posts around here saying that if LW ends abnormally then you generally have to start from 0% again. WhY? Can't something be added to the program to stop this from happening? for e.g. if LW detects an abnormal operation it ceases writing to the data file. Or instead of creating the download.bak file on start up, create it on exit but only if the program has not ended abnormally. Surely there can be some extra smarts built into the progam to prevent the data loss... |

It seems there was a bug that crept into LW. Have a look at LW 4.10.4 fixes here: http://www.limewire.com/english/cont..._history.shtml Thus, I'd recommend updating to LW 4.10.5 |
| |||
No luck with 4.10.5 I'm afraid. LW still intermittently crashes when left running and unattended. I've had some times when LW hasn't crashed but for the life of me I can't find the cause. I thought it might have been a conflict with something else, but I've been trying to eliminate potential causes such as virus scanner, NIS, sceensaver and backup software, but to no avail at this stage. Though I'm still perplexed as to the reason why data files are blown away sometimes when LW crashes. There seems to be a lot of other users continually losing their data also, so if at least that were stopped I could probably live with the crashes... |
