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. |

 Slow Computer performance when running LW4.10.0 Hi first post on here, so bear with me  I upgraded to LW4.10.0 recently, and have noticed massive slowdown on my comp when running it. I checked in Task Manager, and it seems that LW wants to take up 90%+ of my CPU, and well over 50Mb of memory... Given that my computer is an Athlon64 2800+, with a gig of RAM, I though this a little odd... (rest of specs FYI; Win XPsp2, Asus K8N, Radeon 9800Pro, Audigy2, latest drivers/updates for all) So, did a bit of researching on here, and found these threads. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ystem+slowdown http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=50201 http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36420 And followed the advice in them; Cleared the download queue (even though I only had 9 active downloads), and also played around with the preferences from the fifth post in the first link. No difference. checked java, already had v5u6 deleted the .limewire folder (remembering my settings), no difference (even after letting it load all my files again). tried setting the priority of LW to belowNormal and Low in task manager, no noticeable affect. Final thing I tried was to remove both the Java and LW installs from the computer, download the offline installers, and reinstall Java first, then Limewire. (as suggested in the 2nd link) Guess what, that appeared to have done the trick. Limwire is now using a more respectable 24% of CPU (although Mem is up at 70mb now...), and my computer was back to running nice and smoothly Bet you thought the problem had been cracked right... wrong  In the space of 10mins with limewire open, it has all gone back to as before! Argh nightmare! Any more sugestions? Thanks in advance Ed  |

| Hi, I'll try defraging and see if that has an affect... although I still have 15% left on my 120GB drive, and 25% left on my 80gb... so don't know if it will have an affect. for more info, I'm currently sharing about 250files, and they are only on the 80gb drive. Cheers for the helps so far. Ed |

| My two cents I don't think defragging will work. I suggest downloading Java 1.4 instead of 1.5, it's still supported to the best of my knowledge. LimeWire has been known to not play nicely with 1.5 on some systems for no apparent reason. |

| Oh and On my comp LW sits at between 3 and 8CPU, and 65mb memory. So that's probably what the aim should be =) You might also want to try Registry Mechanic, the Windows registry can do some weird things when it's cluttered. As long as we're clutching for straws at least =) It's made by PCTools, just Google it because I don't know what the URL rules are on the forum. |

| This is probably just a shot in the dark but you might want to try and uninstall LimeWire and Java again. Then go in and find your .limewire folder and delete it again. After you complete this download Java the offline installer and LimeWire from the official site. Install Java first then install LimeWire. This sounds like a Java issue you should only be using 1 to 3% of your CPU with LimeWire. http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

| SubJunk I know they have already done that thus the reason for saying again. And follow the order in which I posted. I do not know that it will work but it is worth a try. And you can suggest 1.4 all you want but 4.10.0 requires 1.5
