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.

Default Limewire Pro Download Speeds

Hi, im new to these forums, anyway:
I have Limewire Pro and had the free version of limewire before the Pro version and both of them have had extremely slow download speeds. I have had a look round these forums to see what i need to include to help you people.
I dont know if this'll make a difference but i live in the Isle Of Man if that means anything to the download speeds.

On the speed test i got results of 1841 kb/s download and 239 kb/s upload, although this was done on the Ireland server as there isn't one in the Isle Of Man and i have set my download speeds on Limewire to 33.25 KB/s for downloading and 21 KB/s on uploading (Not at all sure if i've done thsi correct though). I also have the Java Version 6 Update 1.

1. OS version?: Windows XP Home Edition
2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall
3. How much ram? 1.00GB
4. Hard Disk space available? Free Space 50.8GB
5. Connection type? Broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Ozenda Wireless Router
Number: AR4505GW
7. Where are you trying to connect from? Home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Limewire 4.12.6 Pro, Java 1.6.0_01
9. Who is your ISP provider? Manxnet
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? says you're test worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? Yes, this laptop, another laptop and a desktop PC all share this connection
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.? Had this problem always with limewire
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?yes


Cheers for you're help

I've had a look in that thread now and it does seem that my router blocks P2P, but i couldn't see if there is a way to unblock it. Does anyone know if there is?

Alex if you can? Take the router right out of the loop for a bit of time.

Before going thru the work of making a static IP and port forwarding only to find out it cures nothing.

I just today took my router out of the loop. Cycled my modem.Boot up, launch LW and results are exactly the same.

What this told me was the poor performance or connection problems had zero to do with my router.

Hope this helps?

@alexwilson
Try and download a magnet file from here and see what speed you get for it, then post the result as well:http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

The low speed could be connected to many reasons, such as your own internet speed, the speed of the file host, the time of the day, how many hosts of the exact same file. There is know simple answer to this question.

Post back with the result and we go from there.

@rocknrollmachine

An impressive expertise that you give with your statement. One wonders why you have signed up here, since you seem to understand the whole P2P issue including the clients like a professional !!.....Never Mind though !
