Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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.

Unhappy I can't upload or download 0kb upload, 0kb download

My firewall is set to accept LimeWire, and so that is not the problem. I have 5 blue bars. I am lost!

1. OS version - WIN XP
2. My firewall is the downloaded McAfee from Comcast
3. I have 512 RAM
4. 37.2 GB of hard drive available
5. I have a cablemodem
6. Scientific Atlanta Cablemodem, Model Number DCP 1200
7. I connect from my apartment
8. I have LimeWire Pro 4.12.6
9. My ISP is Comcast
10. I use Firefox, and when I try to go to this page: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ it gives me a message that says "Problem loading page." I tried it with IE 7.0 also. I tested my network connections, and everything is A-OK
11. I'm not sharing the connection with anything else, just LimeWire
12. This is my first try with LimeWire
13. I don't have a brick wall in front of the LimeWire logo, it's all good.

Right next to the little blue globe it says "698" and to the left it says "Turbo charged connection"

I am at a total loss! I can search for audio files, it just won't allow me to download them

Please help me, I don't know what to do!

Thanks so much,

MizzBellaBella

Does the file name move into the downloads window?

If so, does the file say 'connecting' or 'need more sources'?

Have you read this?

Downloading problems after selecting license requirement option

Maybe it's not so obvious what's going on...

It doesn't say anything. It just sits there. As I have already said, I am able to pull up files, but cannot download them. It's quite simple. Five blue bars, it says Turbo Charged Connection. I mean, maybe I wasn't clear, but i can pull up 1,000's of files of different artists, but it says 0 kbs, and so I cannot upload or download them.

And, the site you referred me to, that "Lord of the Rings" posted on? Well, "Lord of the Rings" helped me extensively with another matter, is completely understanding of this one, and guided me through posting on this matter

Voila!!

It let me download that file from that site, and then I tried an experiment. I tried downloading another audio file from a different artist - Mr. James Brown (RIP) it would only allow me to download one song, and that magnet file, even though I have it set to 8 downloads (I'd like 15).

But, now that that one song downloaded, I can't download anything else.

I now see the number "1" download" and between "144" and "133 kbs for an upload. I still have a turbo-charged connection, with five blue bars.

Oops, I typed too soon. Now that the magnet file is downloaded, I am back to 0kbs up and 0kbs down Gggrrrr........................................

You're confusing me a little with uploads. Do you mean uploading to another user as seen via the Monitor window or speeds at the bottom of LW's interface. OR do you mean your speed downloading a file? Uploading is when you're sending a file, downloading is when you're receiving a file.

Send us another personal message & we'll see if we can direct connect with eachother or use magnet links.

Ah ... taking a closer look at your port test, you do seem to be blocked from port 6346. Can you go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & tell us what both your connection port & listening ports are.

Open internet explorer & type this into your browser 192.168.0.1 & see what happens. If nothing, then type in http://192.168.0.1 & tell us what happens. I'd like to know if you are able to telnet into your connection device. You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default both the username and password are admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.
