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. |

 Another "Limewire Running Slow on Fast Connection" I am getting download speeds of less that 5kb/s: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) XP SP2 (with TCPIP patch) 2. What firewalls you have? Xp firewall 3. How much ram? 512MB 4. Hard Disk space available? 89% free from 100gb 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) wireless (54.4.MBps) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys WRT54G 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? house 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. update 09 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? platinum communications 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? "Your test worked!" 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. I'm on laptop, connected with on other home computer (has same problem) 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. just got wireless, but had faster speeds on dialup 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? no I have uPnP enabled on my router, and have also tried port forwarding to no avail. I have set up the XP firewall to except Limewire, but that never worked so i disabled it, and that didn't work either. Files from magnetmix.com go very slow (0-1kb/s). I emailed my ISP, and they said that they don't shape P2P connections. They suggested configuring the router and firewall (which I have done). I'm all out of ideas, help!  |

| Do a speed test & tell us the results http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest?more=1 If files download slowly from magnetmix, it's not a good sign. Have you used any other p2p apps & if so, were downloads slow? Check out the thread below, it has some info about Platinum (see LOTR's post for links). There have been a few other Platinum customers with the same complaint. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...light=platinum |

| 564.9 kilobits/s I just tried Morpheus and got same results as Limewire. I have tried pretty much everything on the forums and am pretty stumped  I don't think it's my ISP cause I recieved this email: We do not limit p2p traffic in any way on our network. Your best bet it to make sure that your router has UPnP enabled, and that any firewall software you might have installed has the appropriate ports open for your program to function properly. You will have to research on the Limewire site to see which ports these are supposed to be. |

| OK, I've also found that Limewire is automatically changing the "Listen on" port, even when I set it manually. This is causing conflicts with my firewall and my direct port forwarding settings on my router. When I try to change back to the original port, it tells me that it is not available. Any idea what this means? |

| Try using port 64049. Make sure both your listening port & manual port forward box have the same port. Also within your router. What port were you using for Morpheus? When files download slowly from magnetmix, it often points to an ISP problem. Of course, I can't say for sure that it's Platinum's fault & I'm not trying to pass the buck & say it's nothing to do with the LW setup  |

| I was using 19301 on morpheus but changed to 64049. My ISP insists they do not influence P2P but I'll keep in touch with them. Thanks for help. |
