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.

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 also asked for support and they don´t answer. Please tell me if you get a reply first. I now got the old version 3.8.14 ,I think, from a friend of mine, which works fine. But this is not why I bought the Pro Version, so I hope they´ll come up with a solution or a new release of limewire soon! |

| Don't upgrade I upgraded from Limewire 3.6.15 (which worked great) to 3.8.7 (because they told me to!) and I was disconnected from my wireless network. No firewall. I changed nothing. I found an old version 3.5.8 at http://www.idg.pl/ftp/pobierz/mac/181.html, which works fine. Don't forget to dump your duff LW preferences in HD, Library, Limewire too. |

| OSX 10.3.2, LW 3.8.7 & Cable Modem Disconnect Hi, for what it's worth, my Motorola SB4200 Cable Modem also disconnects upon launch of LW Pro 3.8.7 on a G5 running OSX 10.3.2. I determined that if I remember to trash the LimeWire folder from Users/MyName/Library/Preferences, BEFORE launching LW, then I can use the program (once) after running thru its setup dialogs (again). Specifically, there's a file called "installation.props" that the program installs that seems to be the problem, tho deleting just that one file doesn't always solve the re-launch disconnect as effectively as trashing the entire LW prefs folder. |

| Same problem here I'm having the same problem. On a Mac G5 running OSX 10.3.3 (no firewire), using version 3.8.7, basic, high speed internet cable. Limewire previously caused disconnection of my modem only upon quitting out of the application, now it disconnects from the network upon launching the program too. VERY frustrating!! (have to shut down, unplug modem then restart computer). Sometimes I remove just the preferences, sometimes the entire program, then reinstall. Works for a while (no problem on start-up), but still disconnects when I quit. Any new news about this? Just noticed that there's an upgrade to Limewire-version 3.8.9. Does anyone know if they addressed this issue with this new version? Also, can I install the new version of Limewire without removing the older one? Does it just upgrade the existing one? By the way, tried everything mentioned above by the moderator, still didn't work. Would really appreciate any help here, or any experiences with 3.8.9. I think this is a terrific program when it works!! |

| We're posting the exact same problem on a thread just below here. Was almost convinced it was a hardware problem until I read all the post here. The only thing that has 'worked' is limiting my downloads to one at a time, but even then that only works for an extra couple of minutes. I'm running 4.1.1 and I've had this problem since i upgraded from 3.8. Oh look, I've had LW running for all of 6 minutes while i typed this and my connection went on me....... Sorry but how can it be a hardware problem if (as it seems) everyone's getting this problem with the latest round of Limewire? |

| Limewire with OSX internet disconnects!! I have been looking for an answer to a problem many of us have been having, running Limewire, gettinmg started and then although Limewire seems to keep working, THE INTERNET CONNECTION stops working. The n its reboot the cable modem time!!!! DAMN!!! Well here is some info to add to the fire of discussion. I was so mad at Limewire for this problem that I downloaded the newest revision of Acquistion (only for Mac I think) and quess whta , THE EXACT i mean THE EXACT same problem, works fine , getting some downloads and DAMN the internet goes off and I am resetting and cursing the Cable modem again. So this is not just Limited to Limewire, but perhaps all peer to peer software??? Which means , maybe the internet provider compnay ( In my case EArthlink cable modem - Roadrunner)?? Any help on this matter, this problem only started about 4-6 months ago for several years earlier NEVER a disconnect problem (even with roadrunner). HELP!!! |

| If that is indeed the case, then all you have to do is contact Roadrunner and ask them if they have recently implemented a "countermeasure" against P2P.
