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.

A file needs to be 100% downlded if you want to use the media player to Launch it. Or you can use the Preview function. The important buttons are Launch & Preview. BTW you can only preview as much as you have downlded; eg: so 5% of a 4 minute song = 12 seconds. 0% of any song = 0 seconds. No you can't preview what you havent downlded yet. As for the playlist player, see Playlists & how to create them (click on link)

BTW some people have problems using the LW media player, so instead they disable it so their default computer audio player opens to play the songs instead. To disable the player, go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Player & uncheck the option box & press apply.

Hi,

Well the file size on the list is 113.9 MB and the file size that in on my PC is 116,674 KB so I'm assuming the file is 100% on my PC but on the download tray it reads at 38% and been at 38% for hours now.

Also the preview etc buttons are grayed out.

To preview you need to select the file from the downld window & press the preview button. If the file is still in the download window then it's not completed. Sizes can be a little confusing because not all parts of files are downlded sequentially. So you may have most of the 38% but also a part of the end of the file. So your system thinks the file size is larger than it is. That space is reserved until the downld completes. This often happens with video files. Particularly mpg files.

For me it would take a lot longer. But it really depends upon how fast you're downlding (ie: how many hosts & what speed they have available for you to downld from.) If the download window says it's only 38% then you're only 1/3 way thru downlding the file. What speed are you downlding it at? It will show you. If it says zero KB/s then it may have stalled. In that case, cancel it & re-select from the search results. Or/& re-search the topic to see if you can find more hosts because hosts come & go offline all the time. Also here's some video file tips: Movie download issues

Ok thank you for the help and the quick replies

I done another search for the same Video (**********) and my other download has started to move again ...

It's now at 40% and I'm getting 9 KB/s. I'm a newbie to this stuff so I'll keep messing around with it.

Thanks again...

Update ur Windows media player, or reinstall the current version. I think limewire media player uses the WMP engine, corrupt media player could screw up limewire player as well. And its not available for download separately.
