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. |

 Probably no "best" option Don't remember the user or the name of the thread, but one I read, said to check your connection first. As for myself, I have a 1500/400 kbit/second. This means you divide 1500 by 8 to get the maximum KiloBYTE/sec theoretically available. (Other users, programs, distance from ISP's connection box, etc, will diminish this) Using myself, I will get 187,5 KB/sec maximum. In Tools > Options > Download you can then adjust your settings according to your theoretic max. It's advised to take the speed you get and subtract 5 from the end result to begin with. Then start with 4 simultaneous downloads. If it's working and you don't reach max without any of them being severly slow all the time, increase by one until you find what's right for you. Same goes for upload. Don't go all the way to max on the speed, but slightly under. Here it's probably good to start with just one download. If that one works OK without reaching max, adjust by one more if you wish. Continue until you find your right setting. The "right" setting may, depending on time of day, other people using your line, your ISP, etc, be off somewhat. Just adjust like previously described, and you will be fine. I am running 8 simultaneous downloads, never going below 90 KB/s except for when a file is finished and it connects to another host for next file. And my current uploads is 5. This however never uses the full bandwidth I have assigned to it.  |

 your getting 90kbs per download from just generally downloading from LW or are you talking direct peer to peer. cause im lucky if i get a 40 kbps download. usually there like 1 or 2 kbps it seems no matter what my settings are. or is there some secret to it. my connection is 260 kbps. |

| twisteddman, If your speed is 260 kbps, then the best LW download speed you can expect is around 30-35 KB/s. The thread below has some good tips for setting up LW, have a read through it:wink: Configuring LW for best performance Try downloading a file from here & see what speed you get http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall in front of the blue earth)? Who is your ISP? |

| i tried every thing on that thread it didnt change anything. i just installed a earlier version as suggested and it made no difference either. its odd it seems like i can only get 2-3kbps per host. but sometimes all my downloads just suddenly pick up speeds going up to 15-60kbps per download. my connection to Lw is always at 4 bars. when im downloading from LW i download files from other sources at speeds ranging from 45-160kbps per file without any effect on LW downloads. it just randomly picks up speed on rare occasions. and of course my firewall has Lw as an exception. im downloading files on LW right now from 4 sources each at 5 kbps to 8 kbps. how annoying |

| the files on that site would not download. its experiencing some problems. im not sure what the point is i know what my download speeds are. i download all the time and im not confused by kilo bits and bytes.my isp is clearwire its a wireless isp. my speeds are not effected by the time of day or anything else ,unless its only effecting p2p, as like i said i download on a constant basis and my speeds are always the same. i dont recall if my LW speeds picked up at certain time or not. |
