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. |

 Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at near of page.) Make sure you remove the Downloads.dat file from this folder first before you do this! After deleting the preferences folder, open LW only for a moment. Then close. Then re-add the Downloads.dat file to the new preferences folder. Be careful in each step of doing this ! .. Make sure LW is not open .. and make sure you remove the Downloads.dat file before deleting the preferences folder. And only return the Downloads.dat file after you have closed LW after a short opening. This will retain your download history. Note: The Downloads.dat file might only be called Downloads in your preferences folder if extensions are hidden. Perhaps, just in case of a mishap in the process, make a copy of the Downloads.dat file from your LW preferences folder. In that way you can always go back to that copy (save the copy to a different hard disk drive partition such as Drive E would be ideal!)

| well, I tried but it hasn't worked. At the moment 3 downloads are stalled at 95% and supposed to be 'waiting next in line'. However, I could be waiting a long time (like forever!!) for the remainder of downloads as this is what's been happening for the past week. ETA I think I'll remove LW and find another site because I'm simply wasting my time and downloads Last edited by dancing girl; January 4th, 2010 at 12:35 AM. |

| Sound a little like an impatient person. If you've been using LW for a while & never seen files stall around 90+% then I'd be surprised. 3 downloads stalled is not exactly anything to panic about. Gnutella is not a download site, it is a network that people share across. So the files you are downloading are from people just like you, me & the next person sharing their own files.  I am sorry to hear my suggestion to try did not work for you. Perhaps there is a bug with the present LW version, I don't know. You could always try an earlier version of course, or even another gnutella network client such as Phex, etc. Another source is torrents of course, but for torrents I'd suggest either uTorrent or Vuse (previously called Azureus.) |

| Downloads stalling at 95% to Lord of the Rings....sorry if I came across as impatient, you are right, I do have a low frustration level! Since your last post I tried other downloads from LW and they were successful without incident. I guess the ones I posted about must have been rather obscure pieces at best, so I just decided they weren't worth worrying about. Many thanks for all your suggestions. |

| Lord of the rings, thank you for your reply. I apologize if I came across as impatient. I've not been able to download for some time. All downloads stopped at 95% and there remained. I uninstalled LW and installed FW last evening and the songs which stalled in LW I was able to download without problems in FW. I don't know what went wrong with LW but there was obviously something not quite right. Maybe there was a bug in the system. I appreciate your input and thank you again for your help |

| I tried all the suggestions that were posted but nothing would fix the problem. all music stuck on 95%. I then deleted LW and downloaded frostwire. No probs there, everything downloaded fine including the ones that were stuck.  I only hope that others will still be able to upload music from my computer |

| Wow, some real a-holes in here. Anyone with half a brain cell can do 15 seconds of research and find out there are a LOT of people across the internet seeing this exact problem. ALL downloads stall at 95%. There's obviously something going on here, because it's always at 95%. But I guess I am just impatient.  Last edited by meinsla; February 13th, 2010 at 04:06 PM. |

| Well, no one seems to have found a solution as yet. I've uninstalled limewire and am not downloading it again. The program is too troublesome. FrostWire is good so far. |
