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. |

 Touble with Externals You know PickaxeFairy It is obvious that something is wrong with your setup, as I said before my system is older than yours and I have used both Windows XP Home and Windows XP Pro and I have never experienced the problems you seem to be going through. Even when I used the USB V1.1 ports that came with my PC. Again, I have five external USB drives, three made by Lacie and the other two by Gericom. All of them are plugged into USB2.0 ports, provided by 2 x 4 port USB2.0 PCI cards (similar to one displayed here: dabs.com - Best Value 4 PORT USB2 PCI CARD (US102)), and each external has it's own power supply unit, i.e. all draw their own electricity from my lead, (similar to this: Currys partmaster.co.uk - Avix 13A 6 Gang Surge Protection Extension Lead With Telephone Socket) and so does not use power from my PC. So if your externals have their own power units then they should not slow your PC down or have slow start up problems. I would suggest that that something is wrong and you should have your setup examined. UK Bob  |

| did the drive come with an install cd? if so, then I hope you ran it...it probably enables proper data transfer settings via a driver... also, what type of system do you have? are you able to get into the BIOS and specify settings for your USB capability? if so then one thing to do is to disable legacy usb support, enabling that can many times cause issues....

| Thank you ukbobboy01 for all your advice.... will give those external drives with power supply a bash.... I can certainly appreciate the benefits.  Peerless - I really appreciate your reply.... I just don't understand what BIOS Settings and Legacy USB Support means....  In terms of an install cd - what I do know is that my drive didn't come with one.... so I can't do anything in that respect.... With regard to my ridiculously slow speeds and stupid delays - a thought occurred to me.... Could this maybe be something to do with AVG perhaps and not my actual pc? Limewire and AVG running at once - surely that's gotta make a difference to pc speed and performance....? Last edited by PickaxeFairy; December 21st, 2009 at 09:24 AM. |

| hmmm....well if AVG is actively scanning the files on the drive then that WILL cause bottlenecks...once the files are scanned though that should stop.... if you don't know what the BIOS is then perhaps you should Google the concept and do some reading....in a nutshell its where the hardware for your computer is controlled...if you own let's say a Dell then you will have virtually no ability to do anything in the BIOS...if its a custom build then you can control about everything..

| post the specs for your machine and I will see what I can dig up or already know about it...if its an ASUS MoBo then I'm sure I can be of some assistance as I've been using those boards since the PIII days.... you should be able to find some sort of tutorial or manual for your machine that will detail how to get into your BIOS (hitting delete during the boot process is what works for my machines) and what settings are changeable...as noted with many manufactured machines you have severe limitations as to what you can do, and with machines that are custom you have a plethora of things you can do... heck its even possible that for some reason USB2 is not enabled on your MoBo, or as I noted if USB legacy support is enabled it might be causing issues...

| who made the machine?....if its a custom build, then what is the MOtherBoard..i.e. what info I am looking for is your ability to play around with USB settings you state XP 2002....if its not of SP1 or later I'm pretty sure you are in usb1.0 mode...I believe you need to be in usb2.0 mode for full transfer abilities and such...
