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.

Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7.

Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8.

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. |

 Limewire 2.1.3 DOES NOT WORK! I "upgraded" to 2.1.3 on OS X, and now I can't get anything from anyone. I can find things I would like to download with up to "Multiple (10)" yet none of them are able to download. I have also noticed that pretty much nobody is able to download from me, yet before when I was using 2.1, I had a constant stream of people downloading from me (I have 400+ files available). Is it possible that there is some sort of weird "version clash" that's causing this problem? Like I said, 2.1 had worked pretty well for me, but now 2.1.3 is doing nothing for me. HELP!  |

| We'll look into any issues in this area. Do you have multiple user accounts on your machine? We have seen problems with write permissions if you use LimeWire from different accounts on OSX. |

| My Limewire 2.1.3 also won't work!! I upgraded last week to Limewire 2.1.3 (using OS 10.1.2), and I get maybe 2% of all downloads I initiate, it redraws constantly and when the files download they are hidden until I go find them in Sherlock and manually drag them where I need to put them. I also notice almost no upload activity (I have over 1,300 files) and the preferences I save don't stay saved. Help!! |

| It sounds like there might be a couple of issues going on. On the preferences side, do you have multiple user accounts on your machine? It sounds like LimeWire is trying to write to a file/directory that it does not have permissions for. One solution for this would be to reinstall LimeWire in a directory where you have permissions, and then add your old shared directory to your list of shared directories in the options window. As far as continual redraws, we are aware of this issue in the case where you try to expand a group as more search results are still coming in. This should be fixed in the next release. Are there other cases where continual redraws will occur? As far as the downloads not going to your shared directory correctly, it sounds like this might also be an issue with user permissions. Is it possible that you do not have permissions to write to your save directory? We're going to change the behavior of this in future releases, so this issue should be fixed. For now, though, reinstalling to a new directory would probably be the best solution. |

| Thanks for the quick reply. I actually have only one user account on the computer, and am using the same directory I used sucecssfully with previous versions of Limewire. It sounds like others are experiencing the same problem - I saw this on a review of Limewire on one of the portal sites the other day. |

| When you say that the preferences aren't saved, are you referring to your setting in the options window, or to things like column positioning? Also, when you quite the program, are you quitting through the quit option in the Mac menu bar, or through the File>>Close option within the LimeWire window? Finally, do most of your downloads end up in the "Could Not Download" state? |

| Hi Adam: The typical issue I have with preferences is setting my minimal speed as a search criteria. I save it, then still get results saying "Modem." And yes, virtually everything I try to download now results in a "Could Not Download" message. Both of these problems are new to the latest release. The Release before that was AWESOME - Limewire never performed better. Thanks! |

| Hmmnn...I'm not at all sure what's going on with the problems downloading, especially since that part of the code has not changed at all to my knowledge. Is it possible that you just got unlucky with some of your downloads, or are you continuing to have this problem? The preferences issue is also odd. Would you mind doing a little experiment for me? Just try changing some other settings aside from the speed filter setting, and also try setting the speed filter setting to, say, T3, and then restarting. There may be an issue with that setting in particular. When you do this, are any of the settings saved the next time you start LimeWire? Thanks. |

| The downloading problem was immediate when I installed the new version - and I have re-downloaded the version and installed it again since then. I usually bring down 25-30 songs a day and have succeeded in just six successful downloads in the last week. I just tried again - selecting about 20 songs from a list of 33 Alice in Chains hits from 5-6 different sources. All went to Couldn't Download just seconds after trying to connect. I can't get the settings problem to happen again - sorry to waste your time on that one. Your service is great on this, Adam! I'll buy the Pro version just to support you guys (even though I hear it doesn't work right). |
