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.

For some strange reasons, that I'm looking for since several months, this occurs due to an internal exception when building QRP tables. The QRP table is dropped or marked incomplete by the recipient.

Another bug is caused the first time a Shareaza node enters to a LimeWire UltraPeer with its 1MBit table (apparently there's a transient problem that causes its table not being resized before computing the intra-QRP table, and there are attempt to patch bits after the last one 65535 in the resized table.) This bug is more common, but may affect the intra QRP table that your should have received.

In your case, Et Voilà, this is probably what happens: this is a connection from UltraPeer to UltraPeer, which should join its Leaf-to-UP tables and a map of its local shared library to create a merged QRP table. If this exception occurs, the QRP table becomes resized despite is is still not complete and new patches are received from a Shareaza node connecting to the remote LimeWire.

This bug is more frequent, but I really can't understand why this can happen, given the code we have. My modified version of LimeWire detects it (attempt to patch bits number 65535..65599 in a 65536-bits QRP table), but I have still not found a reason for why such exception occurs.

Unhappy Limewire 3.9.7 and later

I have been running 3.9.9 since I downloaded it a day or two agao. Earlier his evening, I had to reboot, and when my system came up again, 3.9.9 couldn't reconnect. Kept twitching at Quality: Poor for a couple minutes before giving up. Connections window showed only two or three connections which eventually died. I dropped back to 3.9.2 which reconnected quickly. Relaunched 3.9.9 but still no luck. Something broke after 3.9.3 but I can't tell what.

I encountered this a couple times already with 3.9.7 and 3.9.8 but dropping back to an earlier version than returning to latest beta fixed things. This time it didn't.

Did you enable "Locale Preferencing" for connections? And set it to a too high threshold in the "Advanced" options?

This new feature will not work appropriately (for now) with other locales than English, French and German, due to an insufficient installed base of users showing this locale.

Things will go better once 4.0 will be released and more largely deployed. But for now, if you have difficulties to connect with Locale Preferencing and your locale is Dutch/Nederlands, disable this option, or set it to a lower number of connections.

Locale preferencing works great for French with 2 connections set with preferencing, but for other locales it may be useful to set this threshold to a lower value.

This feature works by looking for LimeWire agents that share the same locale as you (using a "X-Locale: lc" connection header where lc is the language code.

Don't set this value too high, notably if you're running in Leaf mode; may be this option will be off by default in 4.0 for other locales than English (en) and French (fr), and may be German (de) or Spanish (es). The Locale indicator is already sent by all 3.9.x versions, even if they disable connection preferencing. This will allow setting workable thresholds later. For now it's best to be careful and not use this feature too high.

Default Limewire 3.9.7 and later

Thanks for the reply. Local preferencing was indeed enabled with the default 3. I disabled it but I was still unable to reconnect using 3.9.9.

I solved the problem this morning by deleting the file limeware.props in the .limeware directory. Some setting in it was screwing things up (although it didn't seem to effect 3.9.2, only the latest betas).

Did you keep a copy of your previous "limewire.props" file?

We could see what is needed for upgrades, or if this was caused by some weird properties which were used in a intermediate beta but not supported now (it may be important to facilitate upgrades from released versions)

What I suppose is that this may be a setting related to firewalls/NAT routers (the advanced "force IP" option no longer accepts manual input of the IP address, as LimeWire will determine now the public IP in echoes from the network with a new callback option).

Or it may be special settings used only for debugging/testing purpose. Some settings are normally only used within the automated tests project, to simulate Internet connections through local hosts only. They are not meant to be used in normal installations.

Thanks for pointing that some previous settings may not work as expected in the new version.

For your information, you should know that LimeWire integrates now a "Revert to Defaults" button in the options panel. This should help in case your custom settings get garbled and don't work. Click it and apply.

However if you have a firewall with NAT routing, you'll need to reconfigure the port number set in its port-forwarding rule, and add agains your custom shared folders, meaning that all shared files out of the default folder will be rehashed and reindexed.

Limewire has been enhanced so that file hashing will work faster than before, and with less CPU used.

Why not to the bugs report address?.
If there's nothing secret in it, you may also copy/paste it here... This is a plain-text file.

Maybe the large number of black-listed IP numbers caused a problem... if you are wondering, I am sharing 4,5k files, and regularly get leachers trying to d/l +100 a time and I shut them down by adding them to the list, but maybe this isn't necessary...

Well I wonder why you blacklist those IPs. If they are dynamic IPs assigned by ISP to some users, their validatity will be shortlived before they get reassigned to another user...
It's quite uncommon to have these many IPs, but does not explain why you've got problems to connect.

But I see something interesting:
PROXY_HOST=www-cache.demon.nl
are you sure that this external proxy works as expected?
This may prevent you of performing requests to Gwebcaches, as this proxy may cache their data for too long (so that the IPs that get returned get too old).

I'm not sure you need such external proxy. The proxy settings are just there for those that absolutely require passing through a HTTP proxy to get connected to the Internet. It won't have any impact on your performance, but will just worsen your experience as GWebcache requests and replies should not be cached in proxies...

If Limewire works without proxy settings, then don't use such proxy with LimeWire... Your only interest would be to let this proxy enhance ("accelerate") your web browsing, as the web should be mostly static. But if this proxy has too long caching timeout, it will negatively impact your performance as Gwebcaches return non static data.
