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 It's a shame .... :-((can't seem to download)

Limewire was the best file sharing program I ever used, and I've been on the Internet since 1986 at 300k baud with a Tandy 1000-EX.

But now Limewire file sharing is being blocked, I assume by the RIAA. Everything was working fine until the first week in August 2007 and then the blocking started. I upgraded my Limewire program with no better results. Then I completely uninstalled the program and went back to an older version.

Nothing downloads any more. All I get is "Qued .... Connecting .... 100+ Hosts .... Need more resources."

I guess that Limewire has gone the way of so many other file sharing systems, it's been neutralized and serves no more purpose.

It's a sad day, but after 5 weeks of repeated attempts with different versions and different download requests there's no point in keeping the program on my computer.

My BIG problem is that I just don't know what to try now. ..... uTorrent?

So disappointed, but thanks for the 3 wonderful years of service!

I'll look for your post and help if I can Scotty. But isn't there a staff here? I can't even help myself at this point since Limewire no longer works. I'm just planning on looking for something else now.

Later.

Thumbs up It's a shame .... ALL FIXED! :-)

Hey!

Sorry to have been a bother, but I seem to have fixed my Limewire downloading problem.

As I said before, I uninstalled and reinstalled Limewire twice, using the old version and the new version, but there must have been a corrupted Limewire file left on my computer.

This time I wiped my registry (regedit) after uninstalling and installed the new version 4.14.8 fresh, as in a brand new installation.

In the past I have always updated by over-writing the old version with the new version, but this time something must have happened which corrupted one of Limewire's files. Unfortunately I can't figure out which file.

Although I've never encountered this problem in 3 years as a user, I'm probably going to download each new version and do a clean install each time now, rather than doing an automatic update/overwrite of each version.

I can't believe that I waited a month before I decided to take any action. LOL. Talk about LAZY!

Thank you for trying to assist!

I'm so happy that I have my Limewire back in operation!

It sounds like you have fake Ultrapeers, which in return will leed you to fake files and such....

Try going to your Connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...
(try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...)

Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...

Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...
The TechNutopia Fullsize Hostiles List for BearShare and LimeWire

Also do you use PeerGuardian at all....
If not install it and turn it on before you start limewire up...
Peerguardian __(FREE)

Another thing I did notice is that you use Norton Internet security 2007...
Have a look through these instructions and just check that everything is configured correctly to allow Limewire, you never know maybe a update could have sent things a little haywire....

Thanks Wondering Why! I'm going to take your advice and apply the "Hostile List" while adding "Peer Guardian." I never tried the Host Filter before but I'll start to use it now. I did get an odd little message 6 weeks ago after downloading something, but the note disappeared so quickly that I couldn't see what was said.

I see MANY differences in this newer version of Limewire and my old version wasn't that old. LOL.
