Forum Rules

Support Forums

Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you. To aid helpers in solving download/upload problems, LimeWire and Frostwire users must specify whether they are downloading a torrent file or a file from the Gnutella network.
Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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 Help Menu notes

Review LimeWire-- http://www.limewire.com/english/content/review.shtml gives "This page is temporarily disabled"

Tell A Friend-- http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...l_friend.shtml shows that it was last updated 05/18/04

FAQ--"LimeWire PRO Specific Questions -- NEW!" Good idea. Hope that cuts down on the forum requests.

minor TOTD notes--
Quote:
Be a good network participant, don't close LimeWire if someone is uploading from you.
The comma should be a colon.

Quote:
If you download skin using the "magnet" links,
Should be "skins"

Quote:
Columns you can choose from include, 'Title', 'Genre', 'Track', 'Length', and many more.
The 'from' is unnecessary.

Hmm--maybe add "in the USA?"

Quote:
The 'hits' column in the Library will count how many times LimeWire has returned a result from someone searching for that file..
Shouldn't this be "someone searching keywords for that file"?

Quote:
Sometimes the 'search' button is disabled. This happens when LimeWire is not connected to any other hosts. Choose File -> Connect and wait for the bar in the bottom-left corner to fill up.

Are both necessary?

Default new Priority column

The Priority column is turning out to not be very useful. After setting a single file to the top of a 40-file list three times, it jumped back down whenever its status changed. It would be more useful if it could
--remember queue position between sessions
--remember queue position between changes in status
--control-clicking the queue buttons could jump a file to the top of the queue (clicking a file to move it up 40 lines is a pain).

Is Priority only intended to work with the Pause Downloads?

Hey! How come this thread's so dead????

To add insult to injury, now limewire.com is telling me to use a "real browser" Well--sniff--I never!

Fine! I'll just take my Safari somewhere else

Seriously though--limewire.org looks a mess from outside. No Jira, bug reports, and waaaay outdated opensource credits page. I hope all is well.

4.1.7 looks pretty good (though VM has more than doubled to 1.13GB over the past 18hrs). I haven't tried to "browse host" . . . so something else is stopping LW from being an app I can run for more than 24 hrs.

btw--accessing the sample bug report after 12 hrs is one way to get the HD to thrash and LW to hang (shown in Activity monitor).

Well, off to try jum 355 and browsing/ethernet connections.

installed the new beta limewire 4.1.7 and it's asking me to upgrade to pro "AGAIN"...
I am already pro!
Now it won't turbo charge either.

That depends whether you're a pro user or not. If you are, you should follow the instructions at the beginning of the thread. The pro version of beta 4.1.7 can be dwnlded from your personal dwnld page after you login in.

Hi LOTR
the jum versions are not very different. Think of it as a pre-beta beta.

--a different installer (drag and drop from the dmg rather than a double-click installer). This helps troubleshoot/check installer issues

--it's built from the CVS, so includes all the changes (many not fully tested) at that time (handy for checking out new inclusions between official releases).

--other changes (Jens-Uwe listed them here

Jens-Uwe has given us OS X users who don't know enough to compile our own versions an easy way to use the CVS versions, and he gives his changes and fixes back to the project. Much appreciated.
