Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

 [Firewall?] Aldoria's Connection Problem (5 green bars but slow downloads) 1. OS version? Windows Vista, "hacked" Administrator account (more access than Admin). (How do I Enable the Windows Vista Administrator Account? for more information) 2. What firewalls you have? Just Windows Firewall, I've tried turning it off, and tried keeping it on. I've tried allowing Limewire, and not allowing it. 3. How much ram? 2GB 4. Hard Disk space available? 199GB Free, 298GB Total 5. Connection type? DSL 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? SIEMENS Gigaset SE567 7. Where are you trying to connect from: Home. 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Limewire 4.18.3 & Java 1.6.0_02 9. Who is your ISP? Aliant 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? It says "Your test worked!!" 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I've been using Limewire for years and never had this happen before. This happened a few months ago, and I've been to lazy to fix it. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes, but I've even turned off my firewall, and allowed Limewire, and it's still there. Weird. 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? UPnP is enabled. 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Norton Antivirus 16. What country are you living in? Canada, New Brunswick Additional Information: I know it says I have a Firewall on the Limewire, but I've tried turning off my firewall. I think Windows Firewall is the only one I have, but if anyone knows of a Norton Firewall I may have, could someone tell me how to access it and disable it? (Only if you don't see another problem above) Also, I've alredy re-installed LimeWire. Oh yeah, I've also got all 5 bars green, but my download speed is still the *****. It takes me forever to search for stuff, longer to download, and that's only IF it will download. Last edited by Aldoria; August 9th, 2008 at 08:06 PM. Reason: Added a link to my Adminstration System & added more Additional Information  |

| That link you gave me only works for XP I think, because there are no 'Documents and Settings' in Windows Vista. And I've ran a search for LimeWire Application Data Folder, and couldn't find it. But yes, I saw the thread. |

| Theres got to be some kind of application data or preferences folder, when you do your search just use the word limewire and see what all pops up. worst come to worst, uninstall limewire do your search, delete everything that says limewire, then reinstall lime wire. It's been working for almost everyone that used to have no problems with limewire. |

| In Windows Vista to enable viewing of hidden files in any windows folder click tools > folder options at the top. click on that and then view then show hidden files and folders. it is at C:\Users\name you use to login\AppData\Roaming\Limewire It MIGHT also be at C:\users\myname\.limewire Any confirmation of where you find it would be welcome This seems to depend on the version of Limewire you are using. this will have to be done while limewire is closed. after the folder is deleted restart and then open limewire |

| Did you check around to find out whether Aliant might be part of the problem?? Turbo Charged Connection is this bell throttleing 3rd parties gonna affect aliant?? - dslreports.com And also have a look at their T&C (bandwidth management): Aliant For Your Home - Terms and Conditions Try changing LW's listening port: In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 65000 (or try any ports in the range of 49152 - 65535) > apply > ok. Do download speeds get any better if you use LW outside of peak hours? Some providers only throttle at peak times. For your firewall icon, try port forwarding. The instructions are here. Port Forwarding for the Siemens Gigaset SE567 You'll need to set up a static IP address first, there's a link to that in the instructions above. LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the router must all be the same number. Don't run without a firewall - just make that LW's allowed thru your software firewall. Since you don't really have a connection problem - your LW connects with all 5 bars green - this will be moved into Download/Upload Problems. Last edited by birdy; August 16th, 2008 at 01:10 AM.
