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. |

 >I too would like to see a process indicator at the end of downloads. Sometimes it just seems to hang and that kind of worries me because I don't know if it's locked up untill it finishs. I would also like LimeWire to warn me if I try to close it whale it's hashing because I've done it at least once and you lose the download if you do that. i believe the newest version of limewire has two extra download statuses ... instead of sitting at 100% progress and downloading from 0 hosts, it will first say "Verifying File Contents" (and the progress bar will rise from 0 - 100) and then "Saving File". the first is for while it is hashing the file, the second is for when it is either moving or copying the file from the incomplete to the saved directory. this lets you know when downloads are hashing.  |

| More to my tastes would be to allow the user to choose, as one option defiantly won't fit everyone. In my case, I'm running LimeWire on a machine that sits between my LAN and the internet (proxy server), and that's basically all it does. I'm sharing 40+ GB of data, and whenever it has to hash a file (median size is 160MB), it takes a long time... Longer than I would like. Worse, I've noticed that if the file is in the middle of the share directory structure, it will seems to stop searches from finding files further down in the directory structure (RedHat 7.3). I wouldn't mind being able to flip a toggle, or slide a slider between 33% and 100%. I'd even go so far as to suggest 33-50% highlights in black, 50-75% in green and 76-100% in red.

| Simple is always best The more choices you give the user, the steeper the appearance of the learning curve and the greater the need for proper documentation to explain the whole system. I favour leaving this aspect alone. Hashing is often quite slow because I rarely have Limewire standing alone but once you learn not to mess with it once it has started, I just get on with other things until it has finished. I don't think this aspect is broke enough to need fixing. |

| IMO the background hashing works good enough in the current version (2.9.8). It shows you "1/200 Files Shared" when it starts the hashing, and the Library view shows unhashed (hence unshared) files in red. |

But As David Said Quote:
1. The hashing priority is selected as the way it currently is. But you can select the hash priority to be higher and a short description about the priorty you selected would appear So people can make a informed decision |

| How about having LimeWire detect whether someone's computer has been idle for a while (5 to 10 minutes) and base the hashing speed on that? When the computer is actively in use by the user, slowdown the hashing speed so the user wouldn't notice a major slowdown when using other apps on their machine, but when the computer has been idle for 5 to 10 minutes, ramp up the hashing speed to full speed. When the user comes back and starts using their computer again, slow the hashing speed down again so it wouldn't affect the performance of other programs running. |

 Some Good Ideas Regarding Hashing Actually, I think the previous posters idea is a pretty good one. there's a simple way to implement exactly what he's talking about. You could use a methodology commonly used in the distributed computing whereas the application uses the computers idle cycles to do it's hashing. obviously, you have to post a message at the beginning of hashing to indicate to the user that the hashing process is using the idle CPU cycles. otherwise, most users will freak out when they see their CPU pegged at 100%. On second thought, they'll freak out anyway if they don't understand what it means to use the idle cycles to do the hashing. Finally, I think the current implementation is just fine.
