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 4.1.4 Beta

The LimeWire 4.1.4 beta has been released. Pro users can download it from their personal download page. The free version is available at the LimeWire Beta Page.

There are two major additions in LimeWire 4.1.4. These are iTunes integration on Windows and support for firewall-to-firewall transfers.

iTunes support uses the Digital Audio Access Protocol (DAAP), and was contributed by Roger Kapsi. This allows LimeWire to advertise its shared music as a playlist in iTunes. Recently downloaded files will appear as a sub-playlist titled "What's New". The master playlist's name can be changed (just like your shared playlist in iTunes can be changed) by going to Options (or Preferences on OSX) and choosing iTunes -> DAAP. You can also choose to turn this feature off (in the same options area) if you prefer not to share a playlist on iTunes. Note that this works on all operating systems.

Firewall to Firewall transfers allows two people behind firewalls to connect directly to each other and transfer data. This makes use of UDP, and a third party to coordinate the initial messaging. This is a huge increase in the efficiency of the network, because more than 60% of users are firewalled. Normally, firewalled users would only be able to download from other hosts who are not firewalled, which is of course severely limited. With firewall to firewall transfers, firewalled users can now access the full 100% of hosts. The benefits of this will become more visible as more users upgrade to the newer versions of LimeWire.

LimeWire 4.1.4 also included various minor bug fixes, such as:
- A fix to not always have an extra locale preferenced connection, if it wasn't needed.
- A fix for a potential deadlock when fetching GWebCaches.
- A fix to not construct illegal queries when resuming old downloads.
- A fix to allow OSX's FileChooser to select Files instead of just directories.
- Better handling of cases where Windows cannot load the required libraries for using the system tray or browser.
- Better handling of reading an empty m3u file.
- Support for allowing OSX with Java 1.4.2_05 to drag multiple files.

Thanks very much for your help in testing the betas! LimeWire 4.2 is very close, and we're positive that it will be a huge leap forward for file-sharing!

Thanks,
- The LimeWire Team

Great Work!

Does the Playlist get shared via Rendevouz (everybody in the network can see and stream my shared files)?

The name of the playlist naturally changed quickly. Now they are called "freeflying songs" :-)

And f2f-support is as great as could be!

Do I remember correctly, that you have an"always proxy my uploads" option somwhere up your sleeves?
Only this and encryption for transfers and general communication still missing to become somewhat anonymous and safe.

yes, daap is done via Rendezvous.

f2f is not done via proxies, so there can't be any option to proxy your uploads.

I've made this comment elsewhere but I really think that two important changes need to made to the interface, both for the same reason. I think that "incoming Searches" and "What's New" should be either eliminated outright or that an option should be added to remove them from view. I love using LimeWire, and I think it's far and away the best all around file sharing app, but I'm just not going to install it on my parnets and friends of parents computer when it puts the seedy underside of gnutella so close to their fingertips. I know there's porn out there, you know there's porn out there, but my Mom doesn't know that, and believe me she would freak if she saw what searches were going through her computer.

Besides both of these "features" seem predicated on the notion that people just don't have enough to search for. Where did you get that idea? Are people really sitting in front of their computer at a loss for things they can download? I find it hard to believe.

Salut Sam, looking good! Do you know why the HTML Page Stuff in messagebundle can't be translated or modified? (I sent to translate lists an updated French translation current with CVS but without updating the HTML page).
Other questions:
1)will the web page for downloads be updated for foreign caracters (ie èàç)?
2)will a search lan only implementation likely to be included in 4.2? (I posted a JIRA issue on this one)

Also, if I leave unattended my computer with LW uploading large files, the computer is almost at frozen state when I use it again. It seems to be related to the huge amount of virtual memory LW is using on osx (sometimes more than 500megs). Or it could also be because LW is using more computer ressources when it detects it is idle. This is under Osx 10.3.5 with java 1.4.2.05 and 512 meg ram (450 mhz G3).

Merci

Suggestion: right now I'm downloading a mac app and LW redownloads constantly the last 2% when it is verifying the hash of the file (98% of the file is ok). Problem is that one host (a Gnucleus 2.0.1, an app that isn't running on os x yet it shares os x apps...) is the cause of that garbage and LW retry to dl from it each time. I'm in a loop of corruption. LW "SHOULD" remember hosts giving garbage for a limited time and try other so downloads finish... This is a great optimisation against hostile companies (or corrupted servents) that try to corrupt downloads.

Please take that suggestion into the download code of LW It will benifit user tremendously.

Ciao

Update with corruption: I've downloaded a packet sniffer and I identified the Gnucleus host IP. Problem is that LW in -options-filter-host with that IP entered still downloads from that corrupted host. This is a bug and LW should not download from banned hosts.

Just a question: does that happen also if you turn off ultrapeer capabilities? I did run LimeWire with that function disabled for a long time and only recently turned ultrapeer on and only since then I am seing the same problem.

I would assume that there is a memory leak somehow if ultrapeer is turned on.
