Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

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 auto shutdown...

kay... ive downloaded... redownloaded and removed and downloaded every version over and over again... and everytime... the download says its successful... but when i go to start lime... the program starts up... then like three seconds later disapears from the screen... it doesnt even give me time to click on the "later" button when the "why go pro" box appears... every other program i ve installed runs just fine... and i am using windows XP version with DSL and the latest version of JAVA... so im thinking either there is a problem with the compatibility in the systems somewhere... or theres a problem with the program itself... i would consider buying the pro version... but if i cant even try the basic to see how i like it... then i dont want to be comitted to purchasing it... ive tryed using the forums to see if i can find anything on how to fix the problem... but there was no help there... so if you have any suggestions that would be great... thanks for you time... and help...

Hahaha what do u mean u tried the forums, did u search them 4 your problem? U post several threads with the identical question which is totally unnecessary & a waste of server space. Perhaps if you posted back a few details of your LW version, connection type, + other details & how u tried to optimise your system for dwnlding and also look at this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27036

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27285
These are vital links to solving your problem so take particular note of ALL of them.

Sorry daduh if I wasn't of much help. I'm sure you checked out ALL the hidden links in my post (joke!) May I suggest you post in the following thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&pagenumber=13

As yoru friends' success suggests, it's something more specific to your sys & setup which of course makes it that more difficult. B/cause each partcular comp can gave its own specific issues despite being (basically) identical to the one potentially sittting next ty it.

If it's not a Java issue , then it sounds like a severe installation problem. Sometimes U need to delete the entire instalation which windows uninstall dowsn't always do properly.

http://ask-leo.com/archives/000085.html

ie: make sure U delete LW properly if you're having probs with it. Then try re-installing it/previous version if U have 1 backed up.

So why don't you try out the beta or an ealier version. Sure there's other p2p apps out there, but once you can taste success with LW, you'll never look back. Sometimes some versions don't suit the particular system, but other versions will. That's what I've learnt since I've been on the forum.

Sorry again But look at Take a look at this person's probs: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27384
He took some chances & it paid !

I think that shows how particular versions work/ work better on some people's systems than others.
