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.

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. |

 Library painfully slow, but it didn't used to be, why? Hey all, Sorry if this question has been answered before. I did a quick search, but didn't find appropriate results. My music library seems to reset itself every time I start Limewire. Well, it remembers the shared folder, but seems to have to churn through each and every song every time. I have 5000+ songs, and it takes limewire 1-2 secs. to recognise to be able to share 1 song. This adds up since it attempts to share all 5000+ songs. This keeps my hard drive very busy, not good. But this didn't used to be a problem. It used to be able to find and share my files by the hundreds per second. My only solution is to not share songs. But this seems to defeat the purpose of Limewire, and would be counter-productive to the PtP community. And that's 25 Gigs you woun't have access to. PowerBook 800 OS X 10.1 512 MB RAM Limewire 2.8.5 Thanks, Desprez  |

| No. I use file menu quit, just like any other program. I've even waited for the WHOLE THING to finish before quiting once. Didn't help. Am I to understand that no one else has this problem? That's odd... I don't think I've done anything unusual, except my "shared folder" is used by iTunes as well Here is the structure... [Root] [Music] [...lots of folders by artist...] [limewire] [incomplete] The folder [music] is the folder itunes organizes all of my mp3s in, as well as the shared folder for limewire. Does that make sense? |

| Latest version sluggish Would agree with Desprez that connection speed and sharing files at start up of Limewire is now extremely slow with latest update. Searches are slower as well. Opening up helper apps such as Quicktime, but especially iTunes is painfully slow. Seems like something was changed for the worse in their last update. Sorry, not a techie. Can't offer any suggestions. |

| Usually LimeWire analyzes each file only once and then saves the data to a file called "fileurns.cache" so at the next startup LimeWire can just read the data it saved without having to rehash each shared file. Somehow LimeWire doesn't seem to do so correctly. Does LimeWire save your preferences correctly? If not, there might be a problem with your preferences folder which is usually: [home]/.limewire LimeWire will need writing access to that folder. |

@trap_jaw, I'll check that file, but it seems to save my preferences just fine. |

| This problem happens to me too, it has gotten so out of hand that Limewire will quit out suddenly while trying to share the list of files. At least it did so in 2.8.5. 2.8.6 is a slight improvement, I can almost get limewire working for more than an hour at a time before it quits out. |

| Just letting you know that I've had that same problem with the last several versions. It starts over every single time. I downloaded this latest version in hopes that the problem would be fixed. Now I can't run LimeWire at all without it freezing my whole computer. It doesn't seem like too many people are having these problems though. Feeling alone, I've given up. I just posted a new thread recommending Acquisition, although I now see that there have already been whole threads about it. In any case, Acquisition works much better on my system, which is a G4 500 running OS 10.2.3 |

| ^ Hmm....how is it possible that the problem is only isolated among a small group and not everyone? Does it have anything to do with the fact that our machines are older (I know some guy who's got the latest and greatest dual processor G4 and he says limewire works fine). Acquisition is a good alternative. It ain't perfect but at least it doesn't quit out after 15 minutes. |
