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.

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 continually regress until corrupt OK I have an XP machine with free version of limewire. It is a FRESH image of xp not even week old. I have a cable modem connection that is pretty fast for cable, insight is the company. The problem is that when I go to download ANYTHING from LW it will get to about 30% complete while connected to multipule hosts then it will move back to about 15%. It will do this continually no matter what type of file or size usually it will get to about 60% and the ******* will tell me the file is corrupt. It even happened when I downloaded LW (had to do the full install). It seems to drop the host then jump back and I know that ALL the files out there are not corrupt cause sometimes i will get lucky (maybe 1 out of 40 tries) and it will actually complete the transfer. I played with the connections settings and still no luck so Please Please help!   |

| Try deleting incomplete folder while Limewire is closed. Default location is c:documents and settings/*Your Username*/incomplete Also delete your preferences folder. You will have to set up Limewire again after doing this Point 2 and 3 in this thread: Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should! hope this helps  |

| Strange. I tried the same thing and that among other things worked for me. I also defragmented but that should not be a problem on a new install. (note: This was only happening with very few downloads in my case) What version Limewire are you using and where did you get it ? Also Java version |

| I downloaded the newest they had on limewire.com uhh version 4.12.3 and my java version is Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_03-b07). Thanks for taking the time to help me out. What is strange is that when I first went to download it using the recomended way it would do the same thing I ended up having to download the full install version off of the site to get the installer on my pc. Possibly a ISP connection error? But I get no problems with other systems like steam that connect out to a server like LW. |

| If it was your ISP somehow at fault there would be no progress for the downloads. If you try right-clicking one of the columns and choosing extended tooltips, when you hold your pointer over a download it will say how many Kbit are lost to curruption. Your JAVA version is quite old. I use v. 1.5 update 6 and it's working fine. There are some newer versions but I haven't updated yet. If it ain't broke, don't fix it . I would try updating your JAVA. Download the offline installer, then remove previous version using add/remove programs and install the new one (some say you should disconnect your internet while installing it). If there is no progress after doing that. Then do the same with Limewire. There has to be some curruption in one of the programs. When removing Limewire use the Start>Programs>Limewire>Uninstall option (add/remove programs is not good for removing Limewire) then do the steps in the post above as those files won't be deleted when removing Limewire. Download Offline installer not the recommended one and do a clean install. Believe me I know how frustrating it can be when something just won't work. I'm trying to portforward my router and get UPnP to work. Must have spent about 50 hours on it now and it's driving me bonkers  |

| k well this got fixed couldn't pinpoint what it was for sure but I have a hunch that it was the **** installation disk from insight. It was made easy cause a website decided to install the motherload of spyware programs to my new hard drive so it was reformat time!! SWEET! But I put everything down again on the drive and now it works perfectly. Thanks for the help Sleepless before it did go down I killed some of those files again and it still did it but it would finish the downloads more often. |

| Good to hear. I find it hard to believe that a spywareprogram would mess up Limewire that badly, but a virus might. There are some nasty ones out there. This site has a lot of info and help should you encounter a similar problem in the future http://www.pchell.com/ |

| Beavis (and Sleepless) Glad to hear that you got your problem sorted but, as you said, you got overloaded with spyware because you had no spyware protection. As spyware was your problem it reminded me of what happened to a work colleague of mine a couple of years ago, his browser and internet connection got "jacked" (taken over) by spyware. Now here's a thought (and this is only a theory), it could be that your internet connection got "jacked" by spyware and this jacking process might flood your connection so much that LW got strangled (squeezed out). I have no idea if my idea is correct but it could account for LW's behaviour and the corruption of your downloads. Whether my theory has any merit or not I'm still glad you came out OK. UK Bob |
