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 What feature would YOU like?

What features would you like to see in upcoming versions of LimeWire? We're already making good progress on the automatic re-query feature and on better integrating metadata into the result view. (So you can see bitrates next to speeds, etc.) Here are some new ideas:

1. LimeWire used to display an estimate of the number of searchable hosts, as well as the number and total size of searchable files. With protocol changes, this has become harder to do accurately. Leaf nodes are totally incapable of estimating the horizon. This could change if we introduced a new protocol message.

2. LimeWire used to have a feature to browse the contents of another user's computer. So if you liked a search result, you could see other files being shared by that user. We took it out many versions ago because it didn't work right. But we could re-implement properly it with some effort.

3. If a host has no more upload slots, it could queue people requesting the file and service transfers in a fair manner. The host could even give you an estimate of the amount of time until you can download the file. ("There are 3 people ahead of you, with an estimated wait time of 92 minutes.")

4. LimeWire allows you to sort search results by name, size, etc., but it does not do this dynamically. That is, if you sort by name, results added afterwards are not sorted. Dynamic result sorting would be particularly useful for making high-quality search results "float" to the top of the result list.

5. The library could visually organize your shared files by metadata such as file type, artist, genre, etc. Most likely it would show a number of "virtual directories" to do this.

6. LimeWire already has an integrated MP3 player. We could make it play videos and other audio format as well. We could also increase the performance of the player substantially or add other features.

Of course we'd like to implement them all of these features, but we have limited resources. So vote for your favorite and we'll try to implement the most popular ones.

Remote queueing definitely is the best thing to implement right now, since this could give you an idea how long you'd have to wait for popular files (mainly divx-movies).

The LimeWire-mp3-player is not exactly what I would call useful (it does not reach the quality for winamp or xmms, somehow I've always got some 'blips' more than with those two). And I'd rather want to choose the mediaplayers to use myself and save them in some config-file or so....

BTW. will LimeWire implement the HUGE-Proposal? And when will it do so? When you could search for a hash automated researching could be implemented easily, could it not?

PS: I like v2.1.1 a lot. How about a LAN-Version of LimeWire with the ability to block all IPs except for just a subnet or two? We have something like a traffic limit for outside traffic, so you wouldn't have to configure the firewall to connect to a local gnutella network and some clients, which allow outside traffic could as well be connect to the local and the global gnutella network. - It'd make things easier for people running gnutella in some companies (which they certainly shouldn't - but anyway, nobody cares if not too much outside traffic is generated) or campus networks (at least here in Germany).

I think it could work, if you'd allow wild chars (* or so) in the limewire.props file for the Blacklisted-IPs-option, although it would be even easier if you'd add an IPs-allow-option, where you could enter all IPs to be allowed. But that's just my personal wishlist (and I have to admit I am to lazy to do those changes to the LW - Source myself)

Anyway you're doing a great job! Keep on doing what you're doing.

Chris, 3, 1 and 4 in that order. Of course you can already do number 4 by double-clicking the titlebar of the Host column. But that would be great for lazy people. 3 would be cool, but even better is to actually implement "resuming incomplete downloads". 1 is cool to look at.....

Blackbelt Jones: You can have your own local gnutella network. In previous versions of LimeWire they let you edit the conenction string. You can just run another LimeWire using port whatever, force yourself to be an ultrapeer and change the connection string in your limewire.props file to whatever you want to use. But you must remember other clients that wanna connect to you must also have that same connection string. If you edit the connection string, LimeWire shouldnt be able to make connection to the public gnutella netowork.

Yes, but I want some clients to be able to connect to the local and the global network at the same time.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Keep voting....err...if you haven't done so already.

John: changing the connect string to make private communities doesn't work in LimeWire 1.8 and later, since they use the "Gnutella 0.6" handshaking protocol. However, the bleeding edge code in our CVS repository has some simple authentication code that could be used for this. If you're interested in getting your hands dirty, contact me personally and I'll give you some more info.

Also HUGE is temporarily stalled on the GDF pending the GGEP proposal ("Generic Gnutella Extension Protocol"). Yeah, we'll probably implement whatever is passed.

I have a simple request :
An option to disable the built-in MP3 player is already present .
Now I would like to be able to get it of my screen if I want to .
Make an option in the config-menu to hide the player .

Even if you disable the player it still scrolls that stupid line of text .
It makes my LW GUI unresponsive and draws too much CPU power .

about 3, what if the host is using another client?

can an auto-retry option be added for these cases?
