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 Seem to have solved my problems

Re. my post 2 above this, I now seem to have solved my problem of video files getting stuck and even going backwards (despite a week of leaving my computer on overnight at reasonable 25kbps download speeds) by uninstalling Limewire version 4.16 and re-installing 4.14 from the link someone provided in the list above. FYI it was only video files I was having trouble with, audio files seemed fine. The two video files that were stuck at 42 and 52% respectively are now both up in the 60% range! I will report back in a few days and see if they have finished downloading.

weird things are happening to me when I try to download files...I installed for the first time limewire starting with the 4.16.6 version. Now while downloading, I have a file that has reached 22% and despite showing a downloading speed since quite long, isn't moving at all. Another one is bangi jumping from 10% to 11% and back. Right now the 22% file went back to 21%....!!!! It looks like they cannot get any further. Did anyone experienced the same problem? Is there any solution?
Thanks
Valter

See my post just above, I had the same problem, this seems to be a problem with the new version of Limewire - use the link helpfully provided by someone earlier in this thread to download the slightly older 4.14 version of Limewire and this has solved the problem for me.

Does anyone else get the problem though that if you pause a download, the whole of Limewire will freeze up and can only be closed via Task-manager? If I find a rare file I want to download now when all my download slots are already full I now find it's simpler to delete the download I want to pause from the list and then find it in my list of incomplete files and resume it - works the same but is rather "round the houses". Obviously another bug in the system that needs ironing out!

.....so it must be a small corruption
like a virus file attached to the video maybe?
Best you run a thorough virus scan over those corrupted files just in case.

Can't launch LW: Bouncing in Dock (click on link) .. lots of things to try. Including JUM's build. Sounds like you need to delete your LW prefs folder for a start. And repair permissions.

Glad to hear you can get 20 KB/s. Probably same user's upload capacity is just that.

How fast are your Uploads?
