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 cant find Bitzi ANYWHERE. I opened up Limewire, picked any song that came to me, selected it, and have been searching for Bitzi, opened everything up top I could, and its nowhere to be found. What am I doing wrong? Any and all help is appreciated, thanks.

The official site is here Bitzi

However, not all files are registered at Bitzi. More-so video files are registered there for looking up.
If you do a bitzi search for a file that's not registered there, yes you will see a message saying bitzi bitprint could not be found.

Here's some files to beware of Virus thread: Typical virus spam file sizes - Make a note of them (click on blue link to see). It will probably take a little time to learn those tricks of recognising them, however it's not so hard after a while.

Probably lacking flavor if they all need more sauces.
Try cancelling all your downloads, then go to incomplete folder in Library window, selecting them all & choose Resume. See if that helps. It does sometimes.

Hi Guys,

I have the same problem. Been using limewire happily for years and now all of a sudden torrents refuse to start up. I've cancelled the d/l's and uninstalled and re installed mulitple versions of limewire and nothing happens. Even when I download from piratebays top 100 list, it cant connect to anyone to share with.

Very wierd.... Anyone have any tips? Audio downloads work (ones that I search through limewire for) but not torrents.

I'm using an XP OS with DSL 54.0 Mb connection and I have the limewire 5.1.4 version.

Any assistance would really be appreciated!! i'm Stumped and missing my movies! (

Best answer for torrents? Get a 'proper' torrent program. One of these is much better Best Torrent programs; uTorrent is small & easy to use; Vuse has quite advanced capabilities & can be set to easy, medium or advanced user. Both these are accepted at private torrent sites. LW is not accepted at any private torrent sites.

Use LW for gnutella network, not for torrents.

Default thanks

but it still strikes me as very odd.. I've downloaded countless torrents quite easily and quickly (I always found limewire much faster than all the other torrent programs including vuse and miro.

Is there a chance its some kind of virus preventing me from connecting? I have tried other torrent focused programs and they have the same results.. this is why i'm concerned, its only a recent problem.

appreciate the suggestion tho.
Anna

If they are older torrents, perhaps nobody is online at the time you are attempting to connect with those torrents. LW's torrent abilities are limited unfortunately.

If you really prefer to persist with LW for torrents, get LW 5.2 or even the beta 5.3. LW has made some small improvements in their torrent implementation. Download LimeWire 5.2.13 - Lime Wire _ or _ http://www.limewire.com/download/betaversion.php
