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.

The only way to use magnet-links with mozilla on linux would probably be a plugin (mozilla plugins should also work with konqueror). All I managed to do was copy & paste magnet support.

I don't know much about MacOS(X), - in fact I never touched a Mac (they are not popular at all in Germany and I don't think you can even buy them within 50 miles from where I live).

Default Global Resume of Incompletes

Hey all, I'm less than a novice user, but enjoy reading the dialogue you geeks got going (no offence intended, I'm a geek wannabee)...

...I've spent alot of time constructing my searches and for one reason or another I'll end up with the whole que in the incomplete folder. Like others, I think, it'd be nice to do a global resume instead of adding them back to the search window one by one. Also, I've found minimal success with these anyway so should I just give up on these as bad searches or keep trying?

Thanks for a great product!

If a download goes into requery mode and if it remains in this state for more than two or three days I tend to give it up.

Default Resuming Incompletes

Thanks for the reply! I'll give up on most of them, but some have partially downloaded. It would still be nice to group them and add them back at once instead of individually.

Also, I've read in one of the threads that the longer you leave limewire up and running the better the connections become. For me, I've observed that over long periods the activity seems to run out. Simply closing and reopening "reactivates" the activity so to speak. What's up with this or has anyone else not noticed this?

Restarting LimeWire helps a little. Most of the downloads will still not finish. The whole problem is that LimeWire considers all hosts that don't respond properly as bad and won't retry it, so - in case the host is really not active anymore - LimeWire won't keep on retrying it. Otherwise LimeWire would make it easy for a malicious attacker to use gnutella for a DDoS attack.

A cool new feature would be usernames so you can search for someone and get a list of their files to download.

Don't impliment more features for the media player. I hate when programs try to expand and ad all sort of features that are off of their core features and could be done much better by other programs.

I voted for ading the Browse Host feature again. I picked up some cool music by people that have similar tastes!

I have a severe back disability. It would be helpful to have a cut and paste feature to cut down on typing. Even on my laptop, the reaching is painful. Saving searches would also be helpful so they can be reactivated or edited.
