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.

You will become a UP as the network requires, if more are needed in your area or overall then you may find you suddenly connect as UP. So check the connections window from time to time to check for this.

No need to play with the leaf/UP settings: those are handled automatically. Actually, you should get more results as a leaf rather than as an UP.

Still, you should have about 10 times more results from a what's new search, so for some reason, probably outside your control, search results are being dropped before getting back to you.

So, just be patient and every once in a while see if removing one or two of the connections (thus letting a new connection come in) helps with results. I'll ask around and see if there is a better way to get connected to better UP's. Sorry for not being able to give a better answer, but Merry Christmas anyway.

Just watching my dropped rate, it's averaging between 40 and 50% (the in rate, that is). Every so often I'll see something below a 20, but it's almost all 40-something.

Turned my firewall off and it didn't change anything.

The drop rate is interesting, I wonder whether your UPs are overloaded with other traffic and dropping query results? Sorry to hammer on about this, but could you try downloading http://limewire.org/debug/condi.jar , running it for an hour and emailing me the condi.log file?

Default re:New Pro version

Hello bjswalker, this is my first thread/reply so I hope I'm doing it right!
Anyways I too am having this problem since I updated to a newer version
of PRO and I received less than 1/4 of the hits I had prior to the update!
I suspect they are not telling us something, and I hope they can either fix the problem or return our money! I'm hoping I'm wrong but this happened right after my upgrading, so I can only assume the worst . . . Someone tell me I'm wrong!! Now prove it . . .

Hi Bazzbozz,

We're working on this problem but we need your help. Could you please run the condi.jar program linked in my previous comment and send me the logfile?

Thanks,
Michael

Default Where is the program?

I'm sorry maybe I'm not gettin it, but what program do you want me to run and why? Where is this program, and what will it do to my computer, how much space does it take up, and what does it do?
It appears the problem lies with the new program and not my computer specifically, why should I add another program to an already difficult problem? I don't mean to come off defensive but it seems alittle absurd to add to the problem rather take something away!

bazzbozz:

mrogers is one of the limewire developers who has been working on finding out what the problem is with searches. He is telling you how to get your LimeWire to record the information he needs to fix the code.

You don't need to help, but if you want to help fix the problem, Michael has offered you a way to help.

see LimeWire Forums for more info

Sorry for not explaining more fully. The program is located at http://limewire.org/debug/condi.jar - it's a stripped-down version of LimeWire with no GUI that just connects to the network, issues some searches for random dictionary words, and logs some information about each connection, like how long it stays connected to each ultrapeer, the number of search results received, and the number of incoming searches. The program uses less memory than LimeWire and a minimal amount of CPU and bandwidth. It runs for an hour in the background; while it's running you should be able to see an icon in the system tray that shows a lime with a question mark in front of it. When the program exits it will leave behind a file called condi.log - please email the file to mrogers at limewire dot com and I'll try to determine what's wrong with your connection. No personal or private information will be written to the log file - you can open it with a text editor before sending it if you're curious about what's being logged.

Cheers,
Michael

Default Condi.jar program???

I d/l the link/program/files you suggested and unzipped whatever files were there, but I don't see a condi.jar file in the folder where they were saved to, could there be another name or are they hidden in one of the folders?
