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.

It could be for a no. of reasons. See corrupted files (click on link) as it could be the source of your files or a firewall, AV, etc. causing problems.

Please hit the Reply button not the new thread button when replying. Else your post will be deleted for subsequent replies.

This will happen for any software you're using. I think your mistake is you're previewing songs & videos right? Yes you can only preview as much as you've downlded. If you've only downlded 10% of a song then you're only going to be able to listen to 10% of it which might be 20 seconds for example. To listen to the whole song or video wait until it's 100% downlded. You'll find the completed downlds in your Saved files folder in the LW Library window. Select that folder & the file & press Launch button. Else move it out of the folder & open it with your normal player.

Also, if your files are showing corrupt you can go to LW's menu Tools>Options>View>Popups & press revert to default & press apply button.

No even in my saved folder, it will come up n it will just repeat. For example, I downloaded the song "Feel Good Inc" by the Gurrillas and it starts out with this laughing, and than a cool beat comes and singing. However my download has it, it starts laughing, than the beat comes 4 2 seconds, and it starts laughing again. It repeats itself over and over like that. Is it possible the music industry could have corrupted all of my downloading softwares?

I've a suspicion you didn't see the link I gave. There it points out that the most popular files on the network are often corrupt, particularly if they come from T3 sources. Yes it appears the RIAA is trying to kill people's enthusiasm for downlding music & sharing it.

Instead of downlding from T3 sources, see if you can get them from other sources such as T1 or cable or modem.

Also re: video, get VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (choose nearest mirror site) & see if you can play them with that program. If you can, it means you dont have the appropriate codecs for some video types. Have you seen Movie download issues & also CODECs list and alternate players for Movies

Ok, I think I understand why I cant download music, yet i kno there is more to it than that, because even non mainstream music wont download. But even if your right about the music downloading, what about my video downloading? Im downloading skits from SNL which had already appeared on TV. That is legal. And yet they dont work. Yet Shouldn't they work?
