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.

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. |

 I saw that I had Java 151 and 152, as well as 141, and Java web start. So I got rid of 151 and 152, and voila, CPU usage back to normal. Something else positive I noticed is that the lettering was now smaller, and the whole screen for the options was now visible. With 151, the bottom line was not previously visible. Thanks for the info.  |

 Alot of good info guys. On my computer I have 512Mg of RAM and a AMD 1700XP processor. When I run Limewire my computer slows very bad too and when I check the memory usage while it's running it sometimes goes up to 110Mgs of memory usage... |

| There is no way out , I have a super fast laptop and yet limewire slows down!!! , If limewire slows down then use another p2p legal program with no java . I am sorry I know how everyone is feeling , Its not my fault that the limewire developers are too lazy to develop a windows version of Limewire in other words no java. |

| I believe it's the Java 5 Update 2 that's causing the problems. I seen in my Downloaded Programs Folder, that there was three entries. One dated as 12/06/2068...interesting. I completely wiped out LW. Cleaned the reg, defrag...ya know, the usual stuff...nothing changed. I uninstalled Java 5 Update 2....reinstalled LW....and VOILA!!! No more 99% CPU usage, and the program is back to running the way it should. Now, the Java utility is telling me there's yet another update to v5, but I am not sure this is a good thing when it comes to LW. If anyone has both updates in their Add/Remove programs, I suggest uninstalling LW, then Update 2...then reinstall LW and see if they have the same effect. |

| I have done all those insturctions above , Limewire did used to work until one day I loaded it and it remain minimized!!! , Then I removed LW and all Java then reinstalled Java 5 and LW then it was extremley slow so I did remove Java 5 and installed Java 4 and still its slow yes I have reinstalled everything replaced feature by feature and at the end I decided not to use Limewire either : A ) I have too many software installed on my laptop B ) Internet uses too much CPU My laptop is very very clean in other words free from viruses , spam , spyware and all that.... So just use what your PC and you are happy with then this way your error-free!!! Last edited by 02aqimeh; April 25th, 2005 at 11:38 AM. |

| I understand the frustration. For some reason, even with update 1 from Java, it's back to using up 99% resources...the logo spins at around .2-.5 fps...if it spins at all, scanning the drive takes forever... This has started to happen only with the 4.8.1 version, as I have never had the issue with prior versions. Going to go back to a previous version and see if the problem still exists. I'll post back with more info. |

| I think I know why the error only happens to Limewire 4.8.1 , It because it promises more faster downloads and more chances then when you download the song it downloads then limewire freezes then when you check your song it says connecting then says waiting in busy line . Well it happens to me , If anyone has difficulties with LW 4.8.1 just use an earlier version . Anyway LW 4.2.6 was a bit faster and the computer froze less. |

| Hmm??? Why should java be a resource pig? The task-manager ist soo stupid and does not report the real amount of memory taken, it also reports memory-mapped files and other virtual adress space. Java-1.5 is more efficient and pre-packages classes in a file which is later on memory-mapped. This file is even shared between many JVMs if they run at the same time, but the Task-Manager just reports bogus stuff... lg Clemens |

| This is not the matter of Task Manager. 1 ) I won't complain about Java since it works perfectly on other java applications 2 ) I won't blame Windows XP for not being built proply. --------------------------------------------------- I WILL 100% BLAME THE CREATORS OF LW 4.8.1 ON CREATING SOME ERRORS , However I love to thank the creators of LW 4.2.6 since it is alright for me although it still freezes.  |
