Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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.

Default LW 4.6.0 constantly quits unexpectedly

LW v4.4.0 works great on OS 10.3.8 on my G4 powerbook. I was able to leave it on overnight to complete downloads. However, since I upgraded to the latest version v4.6.0, LW cannot stay open and be left alone for more than an hour. It constantly quits unexpectedly. The setting on my Powerbook has not changed! It did not matter whether I was running something else at the same time or not. Instead, it seems to definitely crash if it is the only program open and the computer is left alone. I tried changing my engery saver options so that the computer does not go to sleep at all, but it still crashes regardless.

Does anyone else encounter a similar problem or have a solution to it? Is this a bug in the latest v4.6.0?

Try a SAFE Boot & Repair Permissions Also delete some of your older incompletes (if you have any older ones) that are 0%. You should do this in both the downld window (click the top of Status bar to arrange with 0% at top or bottom of list), & also th incomplete folder (easiest when LW is closed & arrange the folder by size.) This should help to reduce some of the stress on LW. Also set your downlds for autocomplete & close all windows you're not using. Also hide LW in the dock when you're not in front of comp.

Unhappy LimeWire still quits unexpectedly

Hi,
I went thru repairing the permissions as mentioned, even run a who disk repair, then deleted all the incomplete files that are 0%. But LimeWire still quits unexpectedly. Only it now stays open for 2 hours instead of 1

Is there any other solution to this? I am just waiting to finish downloading my incomplete files and maybe reinstalling LimeWire. Will I lost my incomplete files if I reinstall LimeWire now?

Thanks!

Reinstallling LW for mac means you can install over the top of the previous version or just drag the previous LW folder to the trash. The incomplete files' preferences are stored in files called download.dat & bak & are found in the incomplete folder. So just leave your LW preferences as are, leave the LW downld folder & incomplete folder as are & you can re-install.

How much ram do you have by the way? And how much spare HDD space do you have? I wonder if that's related to your problem.

If you have same problems after re-installing, then try deleting LW's Preferences folder (whilst LW is closed) found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

Unhappy LW still quits

well, i tried all possibilities recommended. upgraded to LW 4.8.1. and it still quits after 2 hours. there are no more incompleted files that is 0%. premissions are regularly checked and repaired. i run my hardware utility test. everything is ok with the computer. i have 1 GB RAM. 15 GB HD left. Is the problem too little HD? it shouldn't be as LW had worked before.

Is there any other tips on what i can do to stop LW from quiting every 2 hours?

If a file is waiting in line, i never get to complete my download becos LW would crash and I would lost my position

Thanks in advance for any help!!

how many incomplete files?

Also, OS X logs errors (and gives more details on the crash). If you run Console (it's in your Applications -> Utilities folder you'll see the error details the next time it happens

oops. i believe only the first line saying "crash report submitted" relates to the issue of LW crashing. no other things was log. the rest are from the video app. i was using.

as a matter of fact, LW crashes no matter the computer is left alone without any other running program, or with 5 other programs crunching at the same time.

any other help?

Stief must have temporarily left the scene. From that report it looks like a movie issue. mpeg4 problem. Perhaps not compatible plug-in/codec.

Do you have any LW crash logs that have been saved? Go to OSX>User name>Library>Logs (& possibly CrashReporter folder)
