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. |

 Shared Files! Not! Running LimeWire 5. Don't want to share files and thought that I had set it as such. However; today whilst downloading a movie (P2P); I found that it was in fact sharing the movie. Can't have this as my ISP does not allow the sharing of copyright material and I have been warned several times! ( I was using Vuze before; that is why I switched to LimeWire; to not share!) Why is LimeWire doing this when I set it to not share?  |

| LW 4 did have an option to disable partial file sharing. It appears LW 5 does not yet have this option. I could only suggest downgrading to LW 4.18; Lime Wire » Download Out-Of-Date Installers But the share files immediately option is still an option to enable/disable as image below shows for LW 5:  Edit: A dev. replied about the issue for LW 5 here: http://forum.limewire.org/showpost.p...22&postcount=2 I guess you need to double-check your sharing options. Remove all items from Library option in your Options window; see more about that here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...tml#post338054 & also check the Configure button option, this setting is important.  .

| I do have the option "share files downloaded from the P2P Network" not checked. Always did. This is the one that changes back to being checked sometimes! At this time LimeWire seems to be running okay ( except maybe sometimes when my CPU jumps to 100% ). I have set the setting in "Options/Advanced/Transfer" to allow "0" uploads; and have set the upload speed to "Zero". This seems to be working as when I'm downloading and I check what is happening in the uploads; it will show the uploads but with Zero transfer speed. But why it even shows any uploads happening is beyond me! Has LimeWire ver 4 P2P capabilities? Is it basically the same as ver 5? If so; I just may revert to ver 4! |

| You will have more control with LW 4. It has more functions. Get LW 4.18 from the link at top of my post above. Go to LW 4's menu bar, Tools -> Options -> Sharing, Basic - disable 'Share Finished downloads' option. Then next sub-tab down, Sharing-Advanced, disable 'Partial File Sharing'. Disable share torrents. I do not recommend using LW for torrents, instead use Vuse or uTorrent. oh .. and Tools -> Options -> Sharing, remove any shared folders you see in that window. By default it will have something like C:\Documents & Settings\username\My Documents\LimeWire\Shared. Only disadvantage with dropping that folder is won't be able to use media player lol  No biggie, LW's player is not the best anyway.  To be sure, Tools -> Options -> Uploads & zero everything in speed & slots tabs. |

| lol ... yes torrents does require sharing. And Vuse more or less forces you to share. If your share ratio gets too low, it auto slows your download speed until your ratio picks back up. I have no idea how LW handles sharing with torrents & how it deals with ratios. It does not show ratio figures anywhere. And since you can choose not to share torrents with LW, perhaps it is an option. Some torrent programs including vuse include options which some users use that limits their sharing to people with a ratio higher than their specified amount. Some people have these set rather high, so many people cannot download from them. As for LW, it is not officially recognised as a proper torrent program. And thus some sites & some private torrent clubs ban it. |

| Have been using LimeWire for the past three weeks and I am fairly happy with how it works. Will revert to ver 4; hopefully I won't have any problems doing that. Seems to me; I recall that any time I have wanted to revert any program back to an earlier version, it would not let me do it! I have never had any problems downloading from any P2P site. If it does ever happen; there are always other torrents! |

| Deleting LW preferences might be my only other thought. LW will normally uninstall the other version at beginning of installation, however you can manually uninstall it via Start menu -> All Programs -> LW -> Uninstall. |

| Done; and it is working! It's the same version that I was using prior to Ver 5. I did a reinstall of my system back on January 31; therefore when I reloaded everything; I used the most up to date programs. Liked ver 4 than and I think I will like it this time also! |
