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.

Default LimeWire 3.3.3 Beta

We've just released the LimeWire 3.3.3 beta. You may have noticed that we also released 3.3.1 and 3.3.2. LimeWire 3.3.1 included several minor bug fixes over 3.3.0, and 3.3.2 was a short-lived version that I posted to our web site for about an hour today but never linked to, as it included a minor but very aggravating bug.

Gettting back to 3.3.3, though, this is a significant release for only a minor version change. 3.3.3 completely overhauls the XML query processing code, improving its performance tremendously. With this version, you should see a significant performance improvement if you're sharing a lot of files. We've got several more nice changes coming along as well, such as important changes to the download mesh, but we're trying to keep churning out new code to everyone as quickly as possible so you can immediately see the benefits of new features.

In our profiling, XML query processing takes up about 95% less CPU, which becomes increasingly significant the more files you share.

As always, thanks for everyone's help with the beta.

Thanks for the explanation and the developments. For those of us running Jens-Uwe Mager's CVS build, would you like our observations posted here, or would you rather the comments were based on the official beta?

Cheers

Just a little mention.

Kudos to all you. Running the JUM 3.3.0 build, I found that that update was the best LW version in a long time. Generally, I cannot run as an ultrapeer for more than two days without a crash, but this version did. This version, at least to me, was the most stable one in a while.

Yup, 3.3.3 shows a noticeable reduction in CPU usage on a 1.7GHz XP box sharing 7000 files, well done guys.

Sharing more files on the same box still produces 'out of memory' errors.

Salut les mecs! 3.3.3 is a great version number and is the greatest version of LW yet IMO. But what I like the most is the RAPID pace you guys are improving LW since the last three months. I followed reactions on the 'net about LW and it seems that the number 1 complain beside awaiting sources is the gui. Is it a priority at LW? I think LW could improve the look of the application, maybe your website designer could find something eye pleasing as limewire.com is a beautiful site. Just a suggestion though, themes are making me meanwhile more patient in that area...

Do the out of memory errors appear while loading or after running for a short while, topbanana?

On my local box I believe the errors happen when attempting to starting an upload with > 7000 files in the library, but I could be mistaken - they might arise from searches or starting downloads. They're sporadic, with frequency increasing with number of files in the library. ~10000 files generates 10-20 such errors/minute, crashing the application within a few hours.

Not a startup problem, files are all indexed and shared and stable connections established.

This isn't a new 3.3.3 problem, nor does it appear to be a regression, I mention it only as I'd assumed the problems to be related to 100% CPU load with >7000 files previously.

There'll be a few dozen examples in bugs@, or shout if you'd like more specific tests, reports or setup info.

Thanks everyone. It's fine to post about the JUM build here -- it's almost identical, so the issues should be very similar.

Iteresting that you're getting more out of memory problems sharing a lot of files -- that's a good clue. We've had reports from users getting them when they're not sharing many files, but there may be multiple problems if you're seeing this consistently.

Sam and I recently identified another place where we can heavily optimize CPU and memory use for large sharers, so we should be able to improve things significantly further in this area, although not as significantly as the 3.3.3 change.

Just to let everyone know, 3.3.4 only includes very minor bug fixes over 3.3.3. 3.3.5 will likely be the same -- minor bug fixes for 3.3.4.

Thanks again.

from what I read, the java libraries LW relies on make it hard to fundamentally change the GUI.

I am curious whether there is any alternatives that would allow those changes and how much the hassle would be to use them.

I stopped using Limewire for a few months - after having problems with the unexpected quitting bug that was mentioned on the OSX boards - and used Shareaza and Kazaa Lite on VPC instead (Acquisition hasn't convinced me altogether). But the recent 3.x versions appear to have fixed this and I've noticed much better network and GUI performance in general. I still miss the halcyon days of 1000+ search hits though (and yes, I've read the posts on this subject).

I'm glad the Limewire team has decided to concentrate on general stability and network performance rather than bells and whistles. After a few months of problems (especially on OSX) the work seems to have paid off.

Incidentally, I would like to thank the RIAA / MPAA for motivating me to upgrade to cable which means I now devote 35k/s of upload bandwidth and the best part of an 80 gig external firewire drive to sharing on the Gnutella/G2/edonkey/Fastrack networks 24 hours a day.


Finally, a quick question for the marketing buffs out there:

Which of these is the best way to encourage consumers to buy your products:
A. Offer them a quality product for a reasonable price
B. Grossly overcharge them and force a mediocre, cloned product down their throats
C. Sue them or send them to jail?

Please e-mail answers to Sony, EMI, Universal, Virgin, Warner etc.
