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 files incomplete folder won't delete

I want to delete the files from my computer of some so the files would go away and I can get space. It works, bu t they come back.

When I delete it in the incomplete folder it comes back. If I delete them in the download list, they are gone, but they don't get deleted. And I go to the libarary and click delete and they also come back. Is there any way of actually deleting them for good?

Use the explore button to get to the download folder, and then delete them from there as you would with any file on your computer.

I really need an answer. This is an important issue, I mean really important to me, so I would appreciate it if I can have someone to help me. This is the LImewire support section you know.

Your problem is still unclear to me, and I am not LimeWire support you know.

The incomplete folder is always re-created when LimeWire starts--but should be empty and take no space after it has been deleted.

To find space on your hard disk, double-click the hard drive, view the window in list mode, then set the view options to calculate all sizes. This will take a while to calculate the sizes of all the folders, but should enable you to see where there is an accumulation of files that you may want to backup to CD/DVD before you delete them.

If most of the space is taken up with the Music folder, use iTunes to burn then delete files.

I am not referring to you, I am talking about anyone in this forum, not just you. I'd be wasting time if I was just referring to one person.

But anyways, I want the files gone for good. When I cancel and delete it, I want it gone forever, not making it be able to come back. this is any file I want.

Why back up these files if they are not done to be downloaded yet.

Also, all the files are being shared in the shared folder. I don't know what you are referring to.

You know what? Forget about it. I know this quesiton is easy enough for one of you pros to figure out. It isn't like I am asking for a difficult question. I am very disappointed with the support I have gotton and I will ask this question somewhere eles.

That's just the way the program is designed. If you wish to delete them permanently, delete them from both the incomplete folder and the downloads window. See this thread Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue! (click on blue link)
BTW we don't work for limewire. We are volunteers on a forum that deals with many gnutella programs. LimeWire is one of them. If you need LW Pro support then you need to purchase Pro so you can have access to their email support. We do the best we can. But we are just users of the programs like you, not programmers or paid employees of the forum.

Oh and LW always uses a incomplete folder. Files always initially stay there until they are 100% complete at which time LW transfers them to the download folder.

The reason why u cant delete the incomplete files is because they are still in use. If that is true it means you're still downloading those files, so cancel those files from downloading first, then delete them from your incomplete section. Man this thread was long ago.
