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 Downloaded file but can't view!HELP!

When I try to download movies using limewire usually it tells me connecting... and that's as far as it goes or it says needs more sources(even if there are 76) why is that? Anyways, I just downloaded the first movie that it would let me and it was in avi or w/e. I first tried to view it in iTunes-didn't work cuz it's not mov and I dunno how to convert. I tried WMP- it plays audio and the little drawings on the screen but no video. I tried Windows Media Center that's on my Vista OS and it says that there is some code that's needed in order for it to play. I searched on ur forums and found something about CODEC's but not sure what that is. I'm new to computers but am HAPPY to learn anything you can send my way.



My info(as much as I can think of):
Vista Ultimate
Limewire 4.12.11
Wireless internet off of DSL(I think)
I have a brickwall on my LW screen(I think that means Firewall)
and I have a Linksys 2.4 GHz router...HOPE THAT HELPS!need any more info just ask! plz help ASAP!

The files that sit connecting for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever are fakes Always check movie files with Bitzi before download...if a file has heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating, chances are it's a fake.

See the thread below for more info, tips & how to use bitzi.

You might need codecs for your WMP. Try the codecs below.
Vista Codec Package v4.4.4 (freeware)

If that's no good, try the VLC player. It's free, has codecs installed & plays most things! Use the nearest mirror site for download.
VLC media player - Overview

Once you install the codec packs, the movies should automatically be playable (if the pack includes the codec you need).

Have you tried VLC player?

Here's what I do: I have a program called AVIcodec (it's free). Just drag and drop your movie into the AVIcodec interface. It will tell you the specs on the movie, including frame size, frame rate, video format, and audio format. It will also tell you whether or not you have the correct codecs installed. If you do not have the correct codec, AVIcodec provides a direct link to where you can download the codec from. This program isn't limited to AVI movies. It also does MPEG, WMV, etc.

AVIcodec, a free multimedia file analyzer

By the way, have you checked the movie with Bitzi to determine if it's a valid file?

Smile Thanks.

Thanks alot guys! You were a big help! It finally worked once I installed the Vista Codec pack. The only problem was my video had subtitles in Japanese. haha So all that trouble for nothing and now I can't find another one like that. Everytime I try to look one up on Bitzy it says it doesn't know anything about the file...is there a shorter way to find only approved files or is it just pretty much trial and error? Get back to me. Thanks again!
