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 have just booted up (after a crap day at work mind ... so not in the best frame of mind) and the first thing the system says is sorry Limwire cannot reload your saved files (or something like that) and all my incomplete files are red !!! I am hoping like Damon that after re-downloading they'll jump up to where they were yesterday. To be honest I have had quite a few problems with Lw of late. I hope the next version is kinder to me.

| Update and Clarification From my previous message I think people got the impression I said ALL the files started from their previous states alas it was only some.... To clraifiy. The following file behviour has been observed to varying degress...depending on how corrupted the files have become.... 1) In some cases I am lucky...(not in enopugh cases for me to have much confideance in the software as my preferred fileshare tool)...The file reports 0% for a few moments and then jumps to its previous level. 2) In some cases...far to many for my liking...the file reports 0% downloads to about 2% then resets to 0% and starts from scratch...The 40%+ previous Progress is completly lost 3) In some cases, the file continues to download to 100% and then gets stuck never completing....Exiting and reentering Limewire causes them to reset to 99% and the majority continue from there.... 4) In only a few cases a file was completly corrupted and could not be restarted in any shape or form...It had to be deleted so that I could begin the download again from scratch... 5) The extent of the curroption...The files that are most curropted are those that I was downloading at the time...However the fact that it affects every other file (i.e. not downloading/uploading) is a bit of a smack in the face... Given the regulairty in which the program has crashed on me I am currently on the look out for a recommend alternative...I had previously been using ED2K with no problems what so ever,.... Incidently from my experience NEVER leave limwire in the background if you wish to run ANY full screen program...It has crashed 100% of the time!!!! Unfortuntly this is my preferred method of use, leave my downloads runnign in the background while I play a game....Hence my search for a better program...I am about to try using Gnucelus.... Damon |

| Thanks I will try it..... Its just rather frustrating to lose all your download progress...however it is partially my fault I did not think to backup my incomplete folder....If I had done so I would only of lost my recent progress rather than entire downloads.... Nevermind |

| Would only need to backup the downloads.dat & .bak files. But if you're moving onto Phex ...  BTW if you were using Mac OSX then I could offer you an auto backup program for LW download prefs. But it's only for mac unfortunately. In any case, with LW 4.12.6 it now has an auto recovery backup which "should" work. I know it worked for me. |

| Resume Issue Hi Guys, After re-installing windows and re-installing LimeWire , I go to the library and see my incomplete file, also in a directory called D:\incomplete\. When I click on resume button to resume the file, it starts to download, but it starts from 0%. I made a backup of the file with a .orig at the end of it. I then closed limewire and then went to the D:\incomplete folder and exchanged the file name that is downloading with the orig filename i had and then restarted limewire and resumed the filefrom the library and another occasion just let it start downloading from the download tab(pane) , but the dam thing starts from 0%, i dont get it.The filenames are exactly the same.... I am using version 3.8 , very old version, because i prefer the look. I have the latest version 4.12.6 , and want to know without causing myself more pain , will it resume files in the incomplete directory? Thanks for reading.
