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.

Leave LW open over night, found it disappeared in the morning.

It happened 3 times now and I've done some forum search but found no similar post. So I think I should post this.

I've no problem downloading/uploading files. I up/downloaded more than 2 GB from limewire now.

But every time I leave it open over night, it just isn't there when I woke up. I then try to run LW again, it starts normally just like nothing has happened. No error message or something like that at all.

I never use "shutdown after transfer" option. Or even if I use it, it shouldn't shut itself down since many of my downloads is still incomplete by the time I woke up.

My system :
Windows XP SP2
LimeWire 4.8.1
Java 1.5.0-01
ADSL 512/256


Thank you for your time ^^

That may happen if the java virtual machine crashes frequently on your computer. I've seen that problem linux systems but I don't think there is much you can do about it. Does LimeWire crash sometimes when you are using it?

The shutdown-after-transfers option will not affect LimeWire unless you close the LimeWire window. If you just minimize LimeWire, it shouldn't do anything.

Similar symptoms:

Walk away from LW 4.10.5 left running and find windows XP sp2 completely shut down. Upon restart, active desktop error is displayed.
No problems with next earlier LW version - 4.9?
No active desktop items.
I do run starstonesoftware.com/eots "eye of the storm" screensaver. Does that qualify as an active desktop item?
XP firewall off. No difference if left on.
No other firewalls.
I've beaten power settings to death.
No other crashing.
As long as I occupy myself with other applications, LW and XP continue to run. Once left to their own devices, the shutdown inevitably occurs.
What is timing me out?
ISP issue?
I relinquished some more free will to microsoft and finally installed sp2 at about the same time as LW 4.10.5. SP2 issue?

Too many questions? For shame....

LW 4.10.5
java 1.5.0_04
nom 56K dialup - 44K is normal connection
XP sp2 - last full update 21 Feb 2006

re:SP2 issue..I have found in my experiences that there can indeed be some issues with the install of SP2...specifically on an already 'seasoned' OS...

on the other hand, I have had no noticeable problems when SP2 was installed as part of a reformat/clean install of the OS...i.e. format the HDD, install XP, then immediately install SP2...err, make that install XP, install chipset drivers appropriate for the MoBo, then install SP2...

Without repeating myself what I've aleady answered many times, perhaps your spyware program is at fault. See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=53422 Just search the word pest* on the forum using the search button above right & you'll see many references to this type of issue to spyware programs that don't work properly & do damage to LW & possibly to your system.

BTW if you're concerned about the loss of simultaneous connections in SP2 then see http://www.lvllord.de/?url=tools & apply.

Turned off "eye of the storm". Problem solved. I'll sort out the firewall issues another time.

Thanks for the insights.
