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. |

 LW slows my system to a c r a w l Hey y'all, When first start LW I have good connection and download speeds in both LW and other apps. However, after about 5-15 minutes my connection speeds and download speeds slow to a crawl. For example, LW will start off downloading several items at a total of 50-60K and then drift down to about 5-8K total DL speed. If I start LW and then immediately run OE, I get my e-mail okay. But if I wait 15 minutes, most of my accounts will time out and I won't get my e-mail. Same thing for surfing. If I run IE immediately after starting LW, it is okay. But after 15 minutes or so, I can't connect to CNN, MSN or even to this site. System AMD 2000 1G ram 80G HD, 40G free WinXP Pro SP2 All patches (firewall disabled) Java 1.4.2.05 800k +/-DSL LW 4.0.8 McAffe AV up to date ZA Pro up to date Spybot up to date Ad Aware up to date Recent scans - clear Any ideas?? TIA, RD  |

| I not sure what you mean by (1 G of ram) are you sure its not 128,256,or 512 but it sound like you have tons of software running in the background and are you using limewire free or pro its a big difference I would start by start/run/type msconfig/startup tab/disable all/apply/ok/restart/ defrag your hardrive/IE/tools/Internet options/advanced/restore defaults...... thats a good start then do a full scan at www.pcpitstop.com or something This is just one approach..............good luck |

I think it is partially a connection sharing issue (LW hogs the connection) but I don't know how to fix it. I browsed through the settings of LW, but I couldn't find any way of limiting bandwith use that was very discrete. (There were four settings, if i remember right, and the next setting lower than my connect speed was dial-up speed. Ugh Shareazaa has a setting where you can tell it what percentage of your bandwidth to use.) Quote:

| If LW is hogging your connections, try limiting the upload bandwidth. See Murasame's suggestions in http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27036 |

| I've got a very similiar system to RastaDevil's, and am having the same situation. I had the same situation with KazaaLite (which I no longer use), but not with Morpheous. Overall, I prefer LW, but I believe there is a speed problem, over time. Also, I'm in agreement w/ RD that we shouldn't have to reconfigure our systems.

Hmmmm, should I trade in what is supposed to be a finished, working version for a version whose sole purpose is have us find it's flaws in the hopes of solving a problem? |

| There's a Pro version of LW beta 4.1.7 I use it & am very happy with it. There's lots of improvements. View them here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1 It was only a suggestion. |

| windows is shipped as a one-size-fits-all os, so what that means is that theres a load of services you probably dont need going on by default-- go to blackviper.com and look at what services you can safely disable on your system. for example the print spooler service on mine is off unless i turn it on so i can print- that saves me 3mb of ram for other stuff to use- plus all the crap thats added to the startup sequence is usually unneeded--- search for mike lin's site- he has a startup control panel thing that makes it easy to manage it all |
