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 Forget LimeWire get Poisoned

I have been watching both the up and down loads in both programs on the same material.

Poisoned smoothly proceeds to complete DLs at varying speeds up to 18/20Kb generally without breaks. LimeWire runs for barely a handful of seconds, usually at miserable speeds, before cutting out. If you do finally suceed in getting a file it can take days for a small file. Large files you can forget.

Poisoned successfully downloads hundreds of files in the time it takes LW to barely get 2 or 3. To exacerbate the problem LW handles long lists of DLs very badly.

et voilà is correct.


This is SPAMMING and will not be allowed.


A simple suggestion for you is to post in the General Forums if you wish to introduce/push a client which does not currently have a specific forum here.

Thumbs down

As usual, please stop to post this kind crap. This is gnutellaforums.com and thus you can compare gnutella clients, so forget that "poisoned" or "xnap" on this board ok? Also keep in mind users experience with programs varies, and LW wasn't a program that seem to fit with your level of comprehension. The poisoned forums are @ gottsilla.net/forums/ if you want to help people with that particular program. I do think that bashing LW with limited knowledge profits to anybody but trolls.

Merci

Poisoned also scans Gnutella so that doesn't make this a suitable forum?

Absurd to suggest that a program as solid as LimeWire cannot stand critiscm or competition.

I could be totally and specifically LimeWire in a thread listing all posters who report exactly what I report. It seems to me there is a specific peformance problem with mac users that your "anti-spam" rules would have swept under the carpet, well hidden from those too innocent to recognise them.

Are you actually a user of LW on Mac in OS9 or OSX? If you are, then you might be able to be specific in your recommendations for rectifying LW's poor performance. If not, then you may be extremely misguided in your statements on the subject.

btw Whilst I do not claim absolute expertise, I have been employing exactly the techniques (in my ignorance) that you subsequently recommended in another thread.

I assure you that what you say here is most definitely not true.

A post that expresses negative views about a client or Gnutella Network in general will receive no 'special attention' from the moderators here.

Repetitive posting on exactly the same subject, spread through many threads and done within a short period of time will receive 'attention'.

There is no deliberate intention to 'protect' any client in these forums. There is no desire to censor members and guests here other than in regards to 'socially' offensive behaviour and/or encouragement to infringe copyright.

This is the LimeWire forum. If you want to discuss Poisoned go to the general discussions forum.

Not absurd to suggest that you're a spammer.

And also, Poisoned doesn't work on OS9.

That's at least a good start.

Limewire in the visage of Acquisition ( http://acquisitionx.com ) does work quite neat for me.

Putting your head in the sand seems to be a career move around here.

Are you all Enron ex-employees?

A discussion of any subject should include its suitability for the task proposed. As well as bugs, performance and compatibility issues. Not just "nice paint job".

I have scoured these forums for postings on LimeWire performance and have found a common thread of dissatisfaction from many Mac OSX users. The recommended solutions are mostly tactical methods of obtaining successful DLs which apply to any client (I worked those out years ago).

I have tested LW transfers directly with another user and they went quickly and smoothly enough. It is the real world transfer that is so unsuccessful. In my experience LW does not maintain connection and transfer for long enough periods to complete files. It seems to connect and drop off over and over again, so the result is very little finishes.

I am able to compare that to my alternatives with the same machine and and network settings and there is really no comparison. That is achieved without major fiddlings with settings, firewalls or network.

But I am not supposed to notice that!

btw Some of the postings here show a distinct ignorance of Mac issues, so the comments are not too surprising.
