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. 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. |

 Incomplete downloads not loading & lost I am using an Intel Mac running OSX.5.6. I was using Limewire 4.18 and it produced a message saying that it could not find my incomplete downloads. They were still in the incomplete folder with all of their progress. I updated to Limewire 5 (just basic) and it wiped out not only my 4.18 but would not recognize the progress of my incompletes. I tried to reinstall a previous version (4.14) and it also did not recognize the progress made but all of the files were still in the incomplete folder at their various stages of downloading. I had read in another post that a solution to this was deleting the .dat &.bak download files however when this was done (and I only moved them to the trash w/out deleting them) it wiped out all but a few of my incompletes - over 60gb of partially downloaded material was completely lost and Limewire will still not recognize the few files that are still there. Returning the trash files to their location did not correct the problem. What the hell is going on????????????? I have lost a file or two before but never everything!

| Once the incomplete files start downloading, they will resume at previous download %, but until then will show zero %. This was true for LW 4. Not sure about LW 5. Deleting the download.dat & bak files? Who suggested you do that? I'd like to see a quote. They are the files that maintain your download preferences & download history. In LW 4 all you'd need to do is go to Library window, select incomplete folder, select all files holding down SHIFT key, press Resume button. This would force all incomplete files back into Download window. LW 5 does not have a resume option. And canceling files in LW 5's download window will delete the incomplete files. |

| I wish I'd known that because I am not liking Limewire 5 AT ALL! Thanks for the words but I guess it doesn't do me much good now- all the partials are gone except for about 5. Know any way to get the others back? I don't remember which post I read but it said something like LW would recreate a file from what it found in the folder. I guess that wasn't true at all. Or I misread it. |

| reinstall nightmare OK - so I reinstall LW5 and all my downloads show up again but they are missing from the incomplete folder (which doesn't show up in my library at all). Also, is this version a serious RAM hog because every other program I try to run concurrently is buggy and deathly sluggish when LW5 is running. This really sucks. Where can I get my 4.18 back? |

| incomplete files do not necessarily show in Library for LW 5. They should definitely show in the Downloads window however.  In LW 5 there is no incomplete folder per se in library.LW 4 http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...0-5-later.html |

| I am on an Intel Mac and I'm still having trouble - the "lost" download names have reappeared but the actual partial files that were in the incomplete folder are totally gone and my hard drive shows 60gb opened up. Where those files went I don't know because they didn't go to the trash and I didn't delete them. I didn't delete the .dat & .bak files only moved them to the trash. I have found another set of these files in my downloads folder but have no idea how they got there and I'm afraid to touch for fear of losing the 4-5 partial downloads that didn't disappear. Also, I am getting nowhere near the results I was getting with previous versions. All of my video searches show nothing but obvious junk/virus files for some CBS pilot and something called Women's World. I can't even get the junk results I used to get. Why won't the mostly decent search results I got in 4.18 show up in LW5? Thanks for all the responses, btw. |

 Again, I suggest you downgrade to LW 4 for 3-6 months until LW 5 picks up its act. |

| Bogus search results Beginning yesterday, I also started receiving A LOT of both "CBS..." and "Womans World EP..." results with nearly every search. I have not upgraded Limewire for months, if not years - still running 4.12.3 Pro. What's happened?! |

| A good chance you were connected directly to a spammer ultrapeer. These might help: 1. (a) Problems with the search, __ (b) Hostiles List, /OR SICK OF SPAM IP's stealing my bandwidth to upload junk files!! 2. How to find music |

| I do not have any Hosts specified and never have. I have disconnected and reconnected a half dozen times over the last 24hours and a search produces the same results. There are posts about this same problem in other forums (i.e. frost wire community). Thinking it's not the Hosts but I tried your suggestions and still receive same garbage results. |
