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.

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. |

 Lime Wire Messing With My PC I am very surprised that since subscribing to and using Lime Wire, web browsing, in fact all tasks on my pc have become intolerably difficult. Is this usual ? I experienced the same with programmes like Kazaa or Napster in the past but would have expected better from a file sharing service that I actually have paid for. Am I asking too much to be running Lime Wire, ie downloading from other users AND expecting to be able to use my pc without trouble ? Does everyone experience the same ? I'm running Windows XP and have a 2mb line if that helps. Any feedback welcome. Thanks.  |

| My PC has crashed THREE times today. Is Lime Wire a con ? Can't believe I've bought this piece of junk that is now playing havoc with my PC. It's been a nightmare day ! My choices, try to get some support and rectify the problem. Hmm, I'd rather cut my losses now. Ready to uninstall the programme and take my loss of $30 or more. That's another thing ...the price starts mounting up as you proceed to join. Some kind soul will now inform me that if I buy the PRO version all my problems will be solved. Well Lime Wire can stuff it where the sun don't shine ...I've had enough ! WTF should I have to spend MY valuable time trawling through damned forums searching for a fix for this P.O.S. ?? LIME WIRE ...enjoy my $30 ....THIS IS THE LAST DOLLAR YOU'LL GET FROM THIS MUG ... |

| Groucho You have been scammed, and Limewire will not see a penny you have spent. I advise you to get onto your bank / Credit card company and stop the payment. You have been a victim of fraud Cancel your credit card to prevent further un authorised use. Clear the Limewire you have got on your computer together wi8thy all preference folders etc. Run a thorough check for viruses and spyware. And if you are not put off the name of Limewire for life, download the free Limewire basic from http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml This thread touches on the subject of scamming http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=40161

| Only A Hobo, appreciate your reply and the links you posted for me - cheers pal. I hadn't actually heard of Lime Wire until yesterday. I had been recommended to E Mule through a friend and had gone to the emule-downoading.com site which you mention as a scam site on another thread. Unlike me to get scammed. I'll have a word with the bank tomorrow and hope they can do something about the payment, though I'm more worried that these *******s have my debit card details. I'll have another look round this site and tread a little more carefully before downloading Lime Wire again. Anyway, will do so only after sorting out this mess. PC seems fine now, but it's been an uncomfortable and irritating day. Thanks again ! |

| Just to keep this forum updated. My bank told me they were powerless to retrieve the funds, due to the fact that I had willingly agreed for the funds to be debited from my card online. However, they could take steps to retrieve funds should they be taken illegaly/unfairly in the future. I then checked through everything on the website and read the T&C. I hadn't noticed before, but there was a seven day get out clause. So I rang the number in North America, told the customer support desk that I wasn't happy with the download and that it had screwed with my PC and they agreed to re-credit my debit card. I asked for an email confirmation, who I'd spoken to and how long it would take. The money arrived back in my account today. Hopefully that is end of story and all ends happily ever after etc. I tried the Lime Wire download once more via the link given to me on this thread, but my PC really doesn't like it, I'm getting PUPs etc and extremely poor and slow performance, both while online and even when not online !! Perhaps the Pro paying version is the answer but I'm loathe to take the chance. Having my PC working to it's full capacity and without hitches is too valuable so I'm afraid I will have to live without Lime Wire. Good luck. |

| GRoucho ... thanks for the update. Whatever your problem, Installing pro will not help it. I suggest you remove all vestiges of your scam Limewire, (mainy the programme and the preferences)..., remove all your bowser cashe, Delete all cookies run a complete virus and spywire check on your computer and once your computer is runung as it should, download the basic Limewire from www.limewire.com using the second (offline) installer. Also please tell us a bit about your computer, ... mainly processor speed, RAM, and free space. It is worth pointing out that using Limewire will slow your computer down to an extent, but unless you have limited resourses on your computer, this should not be "intallerable"
