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.

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. |

 Are you sure it's a good genuine movie file? Have you done the obvious things and scanned it with a good up to date antivirus application to check that it's not some vicious virus of trojan. |

 It does seem to be a genuine movie, 697 MB . But perhaps the file is corrupt as though the file is downloading, the download bar doesnt show progress (where it normally shows in %),,, perhaps i should just cancel download and forget it,,,maybe the file is corrupt,,  |

| I've heard of downloads going backward before, not sure why. Others on the forum might know. Check your incomplete folder & see if there's more than one listed that is the same title or same download (title might be slightly different.) Sometimes LW starts a new incomplete file for some odd reason and has always had that issue. BTW are you sure it's the download % or it might actually be LW attempting to check the validity of the file after it has completed downloading and it finds some data (might only be a few bits or bytes) does not match that of the original download hash which was downloaded at the time you selected the file to download, thus LW continually attempts to redownload those missing bits or bits that might be corrupt or different to what the file should be. I am aware sometimes people change the tags on their files after downloading & sometimes this can affect the people who are already uploading from them. For previewing, I'd recommend either or both VLC & MPlayer. What you can do is select incomplete folder in your Library, press Explore button & find the file and choose open with ... VLC for example & see if it opens. This technique or Launch button has the advantage it does not create a Preview file in your incomplete folder, unlike when using the Preview button option.  http://www.gnutellaforums.com/tips-t...tml#post144499 Last edited by Lord of the Rings; May 10th, 2008 at 10:37 PM. |

Make sure LW is set to close immediately. Go to Tools -> Options -> System Tray and check this option. |
