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. |

 Download Problem Hi,I have been using an older version of LW 4.10 for quite a while without any downloading problems whatsoever.I just upgraded to the newer 4.12.4 version and for some reason I am having trouble downloading certain files.I can download mpg,jpg and a a few mp3 files.It seems like the program chooses which mp3 file it will download.I can select the file to download and if it is going to do so it starts almost immediately and if not it stays in the connecting mode for quite awhile and then shows need more source's.I have tried multiple files with the same name and once in a great while it will download one of them.I never had this problem with the old version only when I upgraded to the newer version.All of the connection bars are green the brickwall is in front of the planet.I went in and changed the firewall settings to allow Gnutella and even turned it of without any change.I don't think it is a firewall problem because I can download the mpg & jpg files without any problem.I upgraded java to JRE 1.5.0_07 I have windows xp sp2, 160 gb hd with 120gb freespace,1gb memory with 847mb freespace,dsl connection with bellsouth as isp provider and a Intel537ep v9df modem.Any suggestions as to what to check.Thanks  |

 Try having a look at this thread. You are probably just using the wrong phrases when searching, making a lot of spamresults that don't download appear How to find music  |

| Thanks for the advice Sleepless but I have always performed my searches in the manner you suggested.I have been using LW for quite a long time and learned the hard way some of the things you posted.I'm really at a loss with this problem seeing how I never had it until I upgraded to the 4.12.4 version.I even tried to restore my computer to an earlier date in hopes of retreiving my old 4.10 version but unfortunately the files were already modified and the only thing that it changed back to 4.10 was the desktop icon.I even did a computer search in hopes of finding the files but all versions I found were 4.12.4. Maybe it's just having a couple of bad days like we all do.I really appreciate your response though. Konel1 |

| I used it for a while yesterday (The 4.12.3Pro that is) with no problems what-so-ever. Did you by any chance use the online installer when updating. Some have been having trouble with it. Was the brick wall there too in your old version ? Are you using Pro or Basic ? Here are some fixes for Limewire that you could try http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36420 |

| Try a clean install Remove Java using the add/remove programs and limewire through start>programs>Limewire>uninstall Then remove all traces of limewire (not your shared folder off course  )preference folder and incomplete folder. Do a windows search to see if there is anything left (splashscreen etc.) Download the offline installers of both Limewire and Java (if you remember what version Java you were using before the upgrade, then try that one first) Java http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp Limewire http://www.limewire.com install Java first (some advise to disconnect from the internet while doing it) |

| Sleepless, thanks for the advice but that was the first two things I tried when this problem first occured.Neither one helped at all.The only reason I tried that was because I had a problem with a program a long time ago and the suggestion was to do a clean install one step at a time and see if that corrected the problem after each step.In that case it corrected the problem so that's what I tried first thing when this problem popped up.I even tried doing it using a different administrator but to no avail.I tried a couple of downloads late last night and it seemed to work a slight bit better than it has been for the past few days.I'm just not sure what's going on with it!  |

| Well I'm at a total loss  .I just logged onto LW and punched up six downloads to try and to my amazement all six started to download.I'm not sure what happened between lastnight and today but right now for some reason it seems to be working like it used to.Hopefully it will stay on this path and continue doing what it's supposed to do.Thanks for all the suggestions and I'll keep you informed if anything changes (which I hope doesn't happen) |
