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.

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. |

 I use TeraCopy, which definately speeds up file transfers between any two drives. (I wish it would allow filenames to be added to the list, rather than having to select a group while holding cntrl key.) However, transferring files to my external HDD takes a very long time when compared to moving files between internal drives (I think that may have to do with the requests mentioned by Peerless, and my external is a bit old.)  |

| Thanks for all your replies guys  Have taken all advice and info on board....Still not getting the *missing* shared files thing though  If I keep Limewire *open*, i.e. set my upload/download bandwidths to zero and don't allow *any* upload slots and don't download anything - overnight for example.... so the next morning I don't have to load everything again.... I find that the amount of files I'm sharing has decreased. Could be anything from 50-80 files that have *unshared* themselves.... They're all still *in* my *Shared* folder.... but I have to go into it, right click them and *share* them again....  |

| Issue with external drives. Some p2p sharing programs work fine with external HDD's. As you know LW never has, however I've never tried using one with LW 5. Likewise in my experience LW has problems accessing all the files at the moment it opens. Thing about external drives is they are not always 100% active, they tend to sleep a little. There can be a momentary lapse in getting the drive reading which I believe is what affects LW. On my old computer when opening LW, LW would often even 'forget' that it was directed to share from / download to an external drive. Seemed slow in loading shares from the external drive also. My advice to you would be to make a backup of your LW preferences, perhaps on a daily basis just before/after you quit LW for the day. Then if LW shows less shares next day, quit LW, replace the preferences folder & restart LW. I think if LW cannot 'immediately' find a shared file, it simply removes it from its shared list. Exception might be if a user was sending a request for a shared file of yours at same time LW was opening & that might give the 'cannot find file' message. As for copying files from computer to external for backup purposes, Firewire 800 is more than fast enough for me; more than double the speed of USB. Even Firewire 400 is faster than USB for that purpose. Windows systems might work a little better with USB than macs do, not sure. But then even my external drive listed capabilities lists FW 400 as faster than USB. Have you considered adding a 1 TB internal HDD? |

USB2 drives to NOT operate at UDMA5 capabilities, which means they are not nearly as fast as modern internal drives... as previously noted, I use them only for storage of files already acquired, and very occasionally to let others upload from, but I never download to them....

I will likely get a BluRay (1/2 TB disks), and a solid-state drive for my OS and programs (my SATA internals total 3/4 TB). The solid-state drives can experience bit decay, and the devices themselves will eventually wear out with multiple overwrites; so they aren't perfect, but they'll extend laptop use. |

| Additional Drives Well Guys I have always used external USB drives to store and share my LW downloads and I have never had any problems. However, I am somewhat doubtful about Blackhorse 70V's pro solid-state drive stance. My understanding of this drives current state is that they are very expensive and unreliable. In fact, GB for GB solid states cost about 5 to 10 times as much as ordinary drives and have been prone to fail. Theoretically, because there are no moving parts in solid state drives they have the capability to be ultra reliable but, personally, I don't think that they will hit that reliability/price point for another couple of years.

Thing is though - I only have a 160GB drive and 2.01Ghz, 768 MB Of Ram - would the motherboard be able to handle it? The engineer (from where I bought the pc initially) says not.... Obviously his word isn't set in stone and his opinion isn't necessarily bang on accurate.... What I have thought of doing is to buy two 250GB hard drives, download to one of them and back up to the other.... Good idea or not....? |

 Forgive me - I'm not the most *au fait* with computers  My pc is far from being old.... but surely I don't have the 'capacity' to *deal with* a 1TB drive....? I'm low on hard drive space - hence why I'm downloading to an external.... At present, I'm downloading to a 160GB external hard drive - with nowhere to back it up to. The plan is to get two 250GB drives; download to one and back up to the other. Will my hard drive be able to cope with two 250GB hard drives plugged in at the same time? I'm not thick - there's just certain aspects of pc stuff I'm not that familiar with.... |
