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.

H.O.power is flying high
Default not so fast downloads

I recently upgraded my internet from a dialup which I was constantly downloading at 5KB to 256K dsl wich I now average around 4KB while down loading. I have tried configuring Limewire as per the instructions & it did not help.

I did a speed test & here is what I came up with...
My download speed was 140kilobits=17.5KB
My upload speed was 221 kilobits=27.625KB

I am getting no where near this. Any help would be appreciated

Windows XP
Penium 4 2.8ghz
256mb of ram
ZoneAlarm firewall
I am directly connected to my home wireless router with my laptop connected wirelessly.

1. Did you have LW open when you did the speed test?
That's a large over-head loss from 256 kbps to 140.
2. Is your XP firewall enabled or disabled?
3. Did you configure your ZoneAlarm for LW?
4. What brand & model of router/modem do you have?
5. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW? (see sample below)

2. xp firewall is disabled
3. ZoneAlarm is configured for LW
4. I have a D-link DI-624 wireless router with the computer I use limewire on directly connected to the router
5. Yes the brick is in front of the blue world in LW

Your D-Link has an internal NAT firewall. You need to either (a) enable UPnP on it, or (b) manually forward a port.
1st try enabling UPnP on it. Have a look for D-Link under the UPnP section of this page: Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

I just did a speed test with my laptop on a wireless connection (I do not have LW on this computer)

My DL was 215kbps & my UL was 210kbps

My UPnP is enabled on my router also.

Well something's wrong then if you're seeing the brick wall icon. Either your di-link or your softw firewall is not properly configured. There's a chance the upnp on the di-link is not efficient. In that case manual port forwarding would be best. At least it would be reliable.
Double-check your ZA firewall settings. And let us know what you think about port forwarding.

I would be interested in anything that could help. I'll double check my D-link & Zone Alarm settings too.

There are two versions of your router (DI-624 & DI-624+). Are you sure yours is the one without the "+"? Best to be sure, the port forwarding instructions might be quite different for both.
