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.

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. |

 The new beta version may work better for you. It's available at: http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/download_beta  |

| LimeWire does require a pretty powerful machine to run well, particularly on the Mac. You need at least 50 or so MB of RAM, for example. Unfortunately, there is really nothing we can do about this (this is required by the version of Java on Mac Classic). What are the specifications of your machine? Thanks. |

 Specs G4 with 128 Mb hard ram and a bunch of virtual ram on the side... Can't really see how that would be the issue... I sure hope we'll find out what the problem is, though, I miss my time stalking for the right files  |

| I am very surprised that you would experience problems with a G4 with that much RAM. The system periodically freezes on you? Does it happen past startup? There is a reason it could freeze for awhile right at the beginning (namely that dns lookups as it's trying to resolve the router.limewire.com address can freeze the Mac if they take a little while -- ignore this if it means nothing to you), but freezes once you're connected to the network are very strange. Do you ever get freezes, for example, after being connected for 5 minutes or so. Also, if you have a chance it would be great if you could take a look at the Connections tab as soon as possible on startup to see if the freezes seem to be related to who it's connecting to. You could see it freeze, for example, when it's connecting to router.limewire.com or connect1.gnutellanet.com, and then unfreeze right when these disappear. Thanks. |

| I am very sorry to hear that LimeWire caused so much damage. The problem with clicking outside of the window is fixed in 1.9 beta. Which Mac OS were you using when you encountered this problem, by the way? |

| Well, can't say not being able to run Limewire cost me any money, it's just a darn shame since none of the other gnutella clients out there reach its knees. The crashes seem to occur pretty randomly -- it usually loads up fine, connects to the networks, and then wham. Sometimes I can run searches and download for up to 30 minutes or even an hour before it goes down. When it does go down, it's usually one of two things that happen. Either the entire computer freezes and the marquee turns into a little odd thing that at best looks like 4-6 tiny lines of written text, or Limewire freezes but you can still move the mouse -- but in order to quit or do anything you still have to reboot the computer. It's not at all unlikely that the problem is in truth connected with some of the networks out there -- we all know how fickle Java can be -- question is, whether we can determine the culprit's identity so you folks can fix it. I'll see what I can do in that department at least. |
