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. |

 Slow Movies, Fast Music This has been a reoccuring problem. If I download music it downloads around 22/24 sometimes more. But when i download videos, they are around 1/7. Everyonce in a while it jumps up but rarely. Whats causing this? Also, I ran one of those pc speed tests one of the links on here suggested and it came saying i could do 240kbps. i know that i probably cant get downloads taht fast but i think i should be able to get my downloads faster then 24... what should i do about that, ive been throuh that one thing telling me to move those slides on the download and upload option, but taht didn't seem to work.  |

| Your limewire of course has to send and get messages about the downloads. This isn't http where you get the whole file from one server. That's why you have to set uploadspeed about 5 KB/s below the max and why you are only getting very slow speeds on video. A videofile is a lot bigger than a music file. This means there are many more messages sent when you download a videofile. I'm not really in the know of how Gnutella works (the network that Limewire is on) but it is useally a file is made into pieces (the bigger the file the more pieces) which then are split up even more into blocks Try google or something if you need more info on how Limewire works If you set your uploadspeed to high then your downloads suffer from it. That's all you really need to know. BTW speeds are often a bit slower on videofiles, but not that slow |

| A couple more points: A large % of videos come from those who access other networks. eg: ShareAza. ShareAza users are reknown/infamous because of their use of 2 or more networks at one time, meaning they offer only miserly upload speeds on Gnutella. This may only be one reason for slow video speeds. Another may also be because video files take much longer to downld so slots are taken up for much longer & also those with videos tend to be more popular for downlding from. The same is true for me. Despite sharing a couple of thousand audio files, my small no. of video files almost always take up my upload slots & queues. As the point the others made, some people may also have too many upload slots & thus their upload speeds get shared too thinly. For audio files which finish quickly, this isn't such an issue. |

| If your Limewire really is configured to optimum performance then no... Well not on the files you are currently downloading at least. If you had a faster connection then buying Pro and trying to reach Ultrapeer status might have helped. But with a slow connection there is not really much that you can do other than configuring Limewire to the max Some legit files have more than a few hosts, but if you are going to try that remember to use Bitziweb lookup to check if the files are really what they say they are right-click on searchresult and choose lookup file with bitzi |

 but that's the way it seems to be. Some requests may even be old ones & not necessarily real-time. What this equates to is more difficulty in connecting to the larger files such as video files & more difficulty in getting slots for such which may mean not getting optimum slots for speed. But I don't know. |
