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 3.6.0 Beta

We've released the beta version of LimeWire 3.6.0. As usual, the free version is available at:

http://www.limewire.com/english/content/beta.shtml

and the pro version is available from your pro download page.

The major improvement in 3.6.0 is the use of "out-of-band" replies to your searches. This is pretty technical change, so I'll describe it in some detail. Here's how query responses worked prior to 3.6.0:

When you sent out a query on Gnutella, anyone who received the query and had responses would send those responses back along the same route that it came, i.e. it would send it back through every LimeWire that had originally forwarded the query. This is inefficient because the LimeWires that would route the responses could be on opposite sides of the planet, forcing the LimeWire network to do much more work than necessary to get back to the querier, even circling the globe multiple times!

With LimeWire 3.6.0, however, those responses will be sent directly back to the querier instead of being sent along such an inefficient route. This allows those queries to be sent back by extremely high performing IP routers that will always clobber LimeWire's network topology in terms of performance.

The result of all of this is that the responses will get back to you much more quickly. You will especially see a speed improvement with queries for rare content because these queries travel further out on the network to get their results than queries for popular content. As a result, they have a greater distance (or number of "hops") to travel to get back to the original querier.

LimeWire 3.6.0 also adds a new "tip of the day" feature that cycles through helpful tips on using LimeWire. 3.6.0 also fixes a number of bugs from earlier versions.

Thanks for everyone's help testing the beta.

-LimeWire Team

Wahou... results are popping FAST and MORE hits are coming for rare content! Great, searches speed are now on par with Kazaa, the used to be fastest network out there! Bravo et merci!

Now time for an old bug report: I can't browse ACQX users from the upload window, but I can from the download window, so I assume this is a LW bug that as been there, well for ever... Correct that please... And test browse host with bearshare and shareaza in upload window as well. Merci

Continuez les gars!

Quick question - does a client have to be acting as an ultrapeer before it can be the receipient of out-of-band replies ?

No. It just has to demonstrate (through use of automatic tests LimeWire performs) that it can recieve unsolicated UDP and TCP packets from users outside of its subnet.

Cheers. Will access to ports 6346-6348 through the firewall suffice or is a more sweeping range required ?

Adam and Sam--What did you do!!!!! My uploads are just flying--running as an UP and seeing 4 uploads ALL over 20KBp/s! This is great---I'm even connected through the LAN---I've never seen such success!

Please tell me you did something to make the uploads fly--the OOB stats are quickly climbing. I also updated the system software to 10.28 today. Or, is it time to call my ISP and find out if they did something?

One problem...If you are using the black theme with LimeWire, the Tip of the Days can't be read at all since the text color matches the window's background color. The only thing that can be read are hyperlinks. So on my first load, I saw; "Did you know? LimeWire Pro!" (which was, in a way, quite humorous) and nothing else in the Tip of the Day dialog.

The color problem occurs in the Help -> About dialog in LimeWire, also. At the top of the scrollable About window where it shows LimeWire's version and URL, that text also cannot be seen when using the Black theme since it uses black text on a black background when I do use it.

Also, on load, you can't even see how many files you are sharing at the bottom left of the LimeWire window when using the Black theme, since there, it also uses black text on a black background. The files shared number shows up properly with the Black theme only after I do a library refresh (even when I made no changes to my library) and then it uses proper text color.

If you're using a firewall / router, it must be set to forward UDP packets as well as TCP packets on the normal gnutella ports.

At home, for example, I have port 6666 set up to forward to 6666 to my computer, and have LimeWire set to listen on port 6666 as well as 'Forced IP' checked with 6666 as the port.

If I had the firewall set up to listen to 6666 and forward to 6346, I'd have LimeWire listen to port 6346 and have 'Forced IP' checked with 6666 as the port.

re stief: I don't recall anything specific changing with uploads, although we do tinker with code ... we'll take the credit, but I'd suggest calling up and thanking your ISP also.

re limenut: Just fixed that. Thanks for the heads up.

OS 10.2.8 update is pulled--serious bug disabling direct ethernet connections.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107669

LOL! The ISP said the great upload speeds are not because of them, so that left the OSX update!

I installed the 3.6.0-Pro Beta and disabled the installer option for Load LW At Startup. The installer correctly left my Windows Startup folder alone. Then, while reviewing Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> System Startup, I saw that this option was marked enabled.

So,
1. The installer needs to modify the setting in Tools/Options/etc.
2. The option in Tools/Options/etc needs to work when it's enabled.
