Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Question LW 2.x.x>Mac OS 9.1...Location Addresses? Re-Search? Re-Connect?

LW 2.x.x and OS 9.1
OK, I give up...I'm not a LW nor a Mac expert but also not a LW newbie (LW 1.4)
and for me, ALL 2.x versions of LW are missing(?) the following:

1) I cannot make the search window show location addresses...it shows bit rates (instead?)
1a) AND, where is this "change view button" or "toggle" on the "search tab"?

2) Have not been able to use the "re-search" option...can't get the menu to select it.

3) When I've been "disconnected" from LW, a "connect" selection does not reconnect me.

4) If a download stalls & "force resume" is used, LW does not try other file sources
nor does LW retry the original location
(when "download any" has been used from the search window).

5) Resumed downloads NEVER pick up where they stopped...They ALWAYS start at 0%
even when downloading from the (same) host or location address.

I know that the answers to #1& #2 involve a work-a-round for a PeeCee "right click";
LW FAQ (6-25Q) says that "option>click" is the Mac equivalent(?)
LW FAQ (6-20Q) says that a "command>click" will do it(?)

Adding more memory to LW just increases the unused "cushion"
and doesn't seem to change LW performance...LW still uses only 40Mg on my Performa.
I've searched through the LW forums and seen references and some solutions(?) to my MIA's
the info has not solved the problems for me, yet.
The LW user guides are not only out of date but the "screen shots" used are not of what I see
on my old Mac; I'm also pretty sure that the FAQ's are written by a PeeCee guy who does not own a Mac.

Between conflicting FAQ's, vague forum answers, out-of-date user guides,
Mac 9.1>Mac OSX>PeeCee variables,
and a program that is great (but sooooo sloooow),
I've option>clicked & command>clicked everything in sight
but nothing seems to unlock the hidden treasures.

Currently I have LW Pro 2.1.3, 2.4.1, 2.4.4 and LW 1.7 installed...
and although it does not have the recent LW 2.x.x "bells and whistles",
LW 1.7 (at least) does not creat problems 3,4 &5.

If you have any suggestions please note my Mac system info (below);
please be specific (LW version>Mac OS) as to the solution.
And, if other LW users on a similar platform are having similar problems, let me know;
Misery loves company.
Thank you

Default

1) Command-click on one of the column headings in the results area to get a listing of the possible columns.

2) Command-click on the tab in the results area that has the name of your search and the number of results. There should be a option named Repeat Search or thereabouts.

Been There...Done that (prior to my post, many many times) and I have now retried both
LW 2.4.1 Pro and LW 2.4.4 Pro according to your suggestion...

and the results for both LW versions are:

NO "Repeat Search Option"
NO "Change View Option"
nor will the location addresses show in the search results window by command>click(ing)
search window column titles...any of them.

I am re-installing LW 2.2.1 Pro and LW 2.3.3 Pro for testing and I will report results.

Should not have included LW 2.1.3 Pro in my original post as
LW 2.1.3 DOES have "change view" and "repeat search" option(s) for my Mac.

Re installed and tried LW 2.2.4 Pro & LW 2.3.3 Pro with your command>click suggestion:

LW 2.2.4:
does not react to a "command>click" for anything.
But, double clicking on a search results tab or in the search results window
does reveal a drop down menu which includes an option to repeat the search.
Nothing works or is available to get "location addresses" instead of "bit rates"

LW 2.3.3:
does not react to a "command>click" for anything
Also, now, double clicking does not work for the search options menu found in LW 2.2.4
And again, nothing works to get "location addresses" instead of "bit rates"

Of course, both LW 2.2.4 and LW 2.3.3 have the old "Options Screen Problem"

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&threadid=8610

But the posted (techno font) work-a-round did work!
And, LW 2.4.x solved it; I guess that this is a situation of "get a little...give up a little"
