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 LimeWire 4.1.7 Beta

The LimeWire 4.1.7 beta has been released. Pro users can download it from their personal download page. The free version is available at the LimeWire Beta Page.

LimeWire 4.1.7 adds many new features and fixes many older issues. A quick overview of changes includes...

- A brand new bootstrapping system that makes use of "UDP Host Caches" (UHCs). This lets LimeWires connect to the network faster and will reduce the load on all GWebCaches. The theory behind UHCs is that LimeWire now "shouts" into a crowd and waits to hear a response. With GWebCaches, LimeWire needed to maintain eye contact, shake hands, and have a conversation. Needless to say, a full conversation is much more intensive than a few shout outs. This new system should significantly improve initially connecting to the network.
- Massively improved firewall to firewall transfers support. LimeWire now maintains a seperate download mesh for firewalled hosts, opening up the majority of the network for easily sharing content.
- A new "Pause" button that lets you pause downloads. You can pause active downloads in favor of waiting ones, and can order the priority of waiting downloads via the new "Priority" column. To use this, just right click (or control click, on Macs) on the download column headers and choose the 'Priority' column.
- A completely new internal MP3 player (that is a tremendous improvement to the old one) and support for playing OGGs!
- You'll no longer see 'block characters' if you chose a language that LimeWire was unable to display. LimeWire will detect the invalid language and revert back to English.
- You can now choose 'Disconnect' from the File menu when LimeWire is attempting to connect to the network.
- Searching while LimeWire is disconnected or connecting will still allow the search, but also display a message warning that many results may not appear.
- All references to 'Shopping' have been removed.
- Many many smaller bugfixes, optimizations and improvements!

Thanks to all open source contributors and beta testers for your continued help in making LimeWire the best file sharing program ever!

Thanks,
The LimeWire Team

A few more skins unless I'm mistaken.

I was unable to locate the installed file in my applications folder which is where I'd expect to find it, but there was an alias on the desktop. When open it is listed as 4.1.6. In my internet apps folder where I have other versions, the only file that might be it, is listed as 4.0.5 as the parent after I did a search. I don't believe I ever used 4.0.5 Would that be it? I can't actually locate the program anywhere (except the alias) Doh I am bamboozled here! ???

LOTR--where does the alias point if you control-click the alias to find original?

Good to see another beta out. Thanks, and here are some quick notes.

--The Pro Beta page shows size as 3.8mb; downloaded .dmg is 5.5MB

--4.1.6 installed fine, but the Console showed quite a few "unable to touch" messages. Here's the last one and a couple of other messages.

--dragging the sample bug report to the desktop (clipping) switched the mouse pointer to a green globe and arrow. I don't recall seeing that icon before. A second drag just showed the usual pointer.

--first two uploads (BearShare 4.5.0.53; Shareaza 2.0.0.0) showed as "Transfer Interrupted" at 21% and 55%. Rejected hash requeries? Usually the first uploads I see complete quickly, but not this time.

Ooooh! A new column: Priority and adjustable queue for downloads. Looks like it works as I'd expect.

If I try to download, say 100, files from one host, will it only try a few at first to avoid swamping the host?

By gads, it was installed in my OS9 partition. I don't remember pointing the installer there. My 1st couple of dwnlds finished very quickly no probs. My Activity Monitor labels LW process name as (null). 1.1 GB VM & 53 MB ram after just under 2hrs.

[LOTR--I'm watching the vm too--without using the "browse host", just to get a bit of a benchmark. The VM has been rising slowly]

Sam, re the Priority controls: a control-click on the buttons would be handy to shift a file to the top (bottom) of the queue.

Also--I did some more proofreading of the TOTD entries, but the notes are a bit long. . . .

Re the menus in 4.1.6:

Exposé's F10 is sure useful--that's the easiest way to get the focus on the necessary LW window when the "About' 'TOTD' 'Prefs' stc are open

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

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

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

The About box scrolled quite slowly and jerkily. This is unusual.
