Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

 Downloading Problems... Please Help!!! Very fustrating >:( LimeWire use to work with no problems before the new update 4.10 came out...... When I start to download a file, it starts downloading at a good speed and then the speed starts to decrease and eventually go to 0 KB/s......then pause at 0 KB/s and then it will say awaiting sources........ The only way I can fully download a file is to sit there and keep pressing resume!!! I think that's totally absurd!!!......... I just wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing this problem!!! Please can someone help me fix this problem!!!  |

| I've already tried deleting the folder, but doesn't solve the problem..... When I start to download a file it will go up 25 - 50 KB/s stay there for a bit and then go to 0 KB/s........ and I've even tried playing around with the speeds which does nothing!!! People who upload from me still get Transfer Interrupted...... and I know my firewall has nothing to do with it!!! ......When I download anything from the internet I get like 300 - 500 KB/s...... Some people download from me with no problems...... Where does the problem begin..........So I guess it's other people on how they have their computer set up!!! |

| same problem having to hit resume I have the same problem with downloads dropping to 0 kbs then eventually having to hit resume every 5 seconds to finally restart, then drops off...whole bunch of 99% files here...not giving up though... system (new) 3.0 ghz (hyperthread), 1.5 gb ram, xp pro (media), router dlink dl-624, adsl (no throttle back according to isp(telus), (telus claims 1.35 mbs down 750 up ....sometimes actually get that but not usually)....software firewalls ALWAYS disabled for LW, and router upnp no proxy or forwarding required...don't know what else I could tell you all. Have tried both latest and rolled back to LW pro 4.8.1...latest java and restart old downloads works on restart....well at least they are sitting there connecting for a while then I can start my RESUME As a later addition and more investigation (having spent the last couple of days reading the forums)....it appears that to "wake up" the download to continue what sometimes seems to help and end the forever connecting state is to re-search the same title or subject search, and hit download on the search results on the files already indicating that they are being downloaded....by the way: running a software packet sniffer and getting way different results from the advanced...dropping packets all the time, and losing address from nodes...but showing no time to live hops...don't understand this unless the nodes are shielded?..?

| Thanks I thought I was the only one....... the funny thing is, is that I downloaded this one file from someone and it went to like 50 kb/s and stay there till finish!!! I think it all depends on how people are setup on the other side.... maybe I fluked it off, but not sure!!! I think the new limewire should remove a lot of things like taking out the adjusting of speeds..... have auto resume..... Well if you guys figure anything out please let me know!!! |
