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 same problem

hey, im having the exact same problem.. been looking for a fix but cant find a thing.

It started about a week ago now, only thing i can do to get around it is to delete the file im downloading, including the other bits left in the incomplete folder then redownload the file.. it seems when i either put the download on hold or exit limewire completely, it gets messed up..

When i download now i leave the ***** downloading till it finishes, i got a dsl connection but speeds remain under 80kbps so downloading full length movies takes hours and hours!!!!!!!!

its a ****ing pain!! and there doesnt seem to be any easy fix, ive googled the **** out of this problem and read a whole bunch of threads, having come up with no solution!!

please let me know if you find out something that works

Default Same problem here!

Yes! I'm facing the same problem here too!

My download was initially at 45% but when I restarted Limewire a little later the progress bar had dropped to 6% God...

I reinstalled Limewire too... No luck... Also I had opened the Incomplete folder regularly to Preview the file while it was being downloaded earlier... Wonder if it could have anything to do with this...

Pls do help!!

I am not sure if this is a LW bug or something to do with partly fake download files. Check to see how many copies you have of that file in your incomplete folder.

I am aware that LW does sometimes stop with one incomplete then starts a new one. It has done this ever since LW version 2.

The fact many have reported this however suggests either a new bug else, a new type of spammed file to try to stop people downloading copyright files. I haven't had this problem yet but I'm using LW 4.16 at present. The latest LW version is 4.18.6 which 'might' have dealt with this issue. Unfortunately their history page has not been updated so I can not tell you.

I doubt what OS you are using is the issue....I noticed this bug a LONG time ago...and since its never been resolved it rather makes me wonder...for this and many other reasons I no longer use LW, rather Phex or the BearShare beta version listed in this forum

Unhappy still no resolve

Im using the latest version of limewire v.4.18.6 and runnin XP pro

I really got no idea whats going on, this is the first time ive ever had any kind of problem using limewire and ive been using it for years!!

I tried reinstalling older versions but that hasnt helped!

I shutdown LW and the next day came back on to finish the file i was downloading, saw it was only at 27%, left it running all day to come back and see the progress bar unchanged, still at 27%!!!!!

I sat there watching it and then bang it drops down to 8% then up again and then back down. I deleted the file completely came back and downloaded it again, the exact same file, left it, same problem... stuck at 27%, going down and then back up again... so i did the same thing agian deleted it but then downloaded a different one left it to download and BANG, got it..

I find that if you dont exit limewire and just let the download run its course then you wont have a problem.

Still would like to know why this is happening and how to fix it!!!

If you come up with anything please let me know

Thank you
