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 Java 1.4

Well... I downloaded the latest JRE from the SUN site and installed it, rebooted ... the mouse wheel still not functional in Limewire. It could be O/S related (running Win 2KP) I will go to the Microsoft support site and see what I can dig up. -

At any rate thanks for the tip.

Default A few ideas

I am a new Pro user after seeing how you guys responded to a not so nice exchange (not with me, btw) rearding broken resume, and Adam fixed it and posted a new beta, thank you. You guys are more professional about your client and it shows.

Anyway, I think you should definately put the multimedia stuff on the back burner. In fact, it might even be good to fork the mp3 player code into an addin module or separately downloaded client, since most people seem to not want it right now.

File hashing: this is a must do. It would be good to have hashing done once on each file before connecting, and results saved until a manual refresh is asked for. (I don't know if this HUGE thing is hashing, so that dupilcate sources can be found by hash?)

It would be good to have a more aggressive search for more sources built in, so you can "set it and forget it" knowing Limewire is looking for what you want at all times.

Thanks for your hard work!

Cool My List

Please please, let's have Browse Host!! I snagged a file I'd been searching for the other day, and my DL time could not have been more than 5 seconds! Awesome. Back in Napster days, I could have browsed the host, and gotten any other files I liked of his, FAST. With cable modem, I occasionally get some truly amazing DL speeds, and it would be nice to be able to identify and (maybe?) maintain a listing of those hosts who are also fast so I can periodically browse their files.

The scrolling feature...I haven't tried the java solution, but it appears to not work that well from what the previous poster has written. Is there more info on this somewhere?

Refresh search is a must also. I just hate all that re-typing!

I'm with the others on forgetting about the players. I have my own that I like just fine. I'd encourage you to spend the time working on other features more people want.

I'm using the Pro version these days and like it a lot. Keep up the good work!

Pamela

To be honest I don't really care about any of the features you've mentioned in the poll. Perhaps browse host. Integrated media players are completely useless. We all have our own preferred ones that are likely much better. Why reinvent the wheel? My computer can multitask. I'll use iTunes or Winamp to play mp3s, Quicktime or Mediaplayer to watch movies while Limewire runs in the background.

What I NEED is a reliable way to resume broken downloads. I know this is supposedly fixed in the latest beta, which I haven't yet been able to download (it keeps stopping halfway through).

What ****** me off the most when using Limewire is when I resume a download from the same site, same file and it disregards what i've got so far and STARTS OVER AT ZERO % wasting my time. There should be a resume button and it should NEVER EVER NO MATTER WHAT delete partial files. Why this isn't included yet is a mystery to me, but anyway that is the feature I would like to see most in Limewire. I suppose if I had a T1 or faster connection I wouldn't care, but man I want to kill someone when I see hours are wasted because the program deleted a 45 meg partial file when I resume dl'ing it from the SAME site.

Default Features I want

I'm going to be buying the Pro version very shortly (today or tomorrow). I find the $8.50 more than reasonable. I'll even buy it again after 6 months if I get my feature requests.

There are some usability problems, likely Apple's fault. If they're Apple's fault, then Limewire should be able to take their estimated userbase size and ask Apple to fix them. If they can be coded around, Limewire could do that.

More importantly for all of us, I'm currently a freeloader. My cable company will kill my account if I upload more than 500MB/day. I'd prefer to kill the slide bar of upload speed and have a box I can type "5KB/s" (which I can only get to if I tell it I have a modem), which by my estimates, would make me uploading about 430MB/day if I have popular stuff. Likely harder to implement, I'd honestly prefer to have a field to say, "Go as fast as you please, but never upload more than 450MB/day, when you reach that, stop sharing my files until midnight". Of course, that field should be whatever the user wants. I hate the slidebar, because the scale changes based on what connection I type in, and the connection type impacts my maximum download speed (is that real or a false observation? if it's real, it's stupid.) I'm currently lieing to the service and telling it I have a T3 and not a cable modem because I observe faster downloads.

I have a cable modem .
And hard to believe it actually get's close to some big pricy connection .

Cable technology has a roof of 10MB/sec .
If you have bad performance on a cable modem , don't yell at the modem , yell at your ISP's overloaded backbone .

My ISP has a good backbone and outperforms cable connections of other ISP's .

That's also the reason why I have to lie to LW about my connection .
If I put it on cable it just won't utilize my entire connection .


For example : I put LW on cable and give it a huge list to download .
While LW is going stupid downloading 40 files at once (the standard limit of 8 is way too low) , I still have enough bandwidt left to stream music of the net at 96KB/sec using Windows Media Player

As far as increasing the potential number of available files, I like what BearShare has done in their latest release which is to have an auto-force ip option where if you're behind a router, it will go out to these free services to discoever your real IP address and then use that. I always force my IP, but I'd be willing to bet that a lot of people don't realize that they're assigned a different IP by a DHCP, or how to change it even if they do know.

I use a NAT router with a built-in DCHP server .
But I don't have to put LW in firewall mode .

It knows a nice trick :

Normally it addresses the PC's in your like LAN this for example :
First PC : 1.0.0.1
Second PC : 1.0.0.2
Third PC : 1.0.0.3

But my DCHP server looks at the real IP of the router ,
then addresses my LAN like this :
First PC : **Real IP**
Second PC : 1.0.0.1
Third PC : 1.0.0.2

Then I let it forward all incoming data to the PC with the **real IP** and voila !
The machine doesn't even know it's behind a NAT router , it's completly transparent .

Unfortunatly , most people don't have DCHP servers and NAT routers like this .
Don't think I have some big expensive piece of technology overhere , this thing came rather cheap .
When I first bought it and looked at the box it thought : How the hell can this be so cheap ?
It has a NAT firewall , USB port for configuration , rendunancy (multiple modems attached) , built-in print server , NAPT , PAC server (that's right , I plug in my PC and I don't have to set my proxy ! It does it for me !) , and the list goes on ...

The trick that bearshare does is also a smart move , but what if the NAT router at that IP doesn't forward those packets to the PC with BS on ?
How did they do that ?

Default i like most of what ya said

but i'd also like:
for limewirepro [paid money for it]:
1. return the search to top and tab format

2. in search window: add block ability to rid us of those posting known incomplete files [particularly the 1 k files - videos normally several megabytes..]

3. give current version option of reducing upload bandwidth share to 0% that way most people would use current instead of ver 1.6 er so [ really leeching off current version users.]

4.have a toggle in options that can disregard files beginning T-######### etc [known incomplete file] for searching

5.show ip addresses in search window. so we can ban 1k file twits without downloading their crap.

Default New Idea: Prioritization

When I connect using LimeWire, I almost always get elected as an ultrapeer. I have a combined upload/download of around 700 KB/s (yes, kilobytes).

In the interest of rapid data dissemination, seems to me high speed hosts should get priority in downloading. This way, files can spread more quickly and more copies could be available for slower users.

Before kazaa took away the Linux client, I was upping around 20GB/day. But on Gnutella, I just can't seem to get the files.

Fact is, if I could get the files, I could also up them. I can support a large number of file uploads.
