Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

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.

its occasionaly dispiriting isn't it the whiney rants of the 'gimmie gimmie' set - limewire is a very good p2p client that just does provide good returns for anyone with a minute quotient of patience - yes the 'requery' message is a pain and long ago should've been replaced with the "you're doomed" message but limewire (along with shareaza I reckon) provides a really good way to progress from someone with no files to share to someone with a store of little treasures to share all over the world -

when I first discovered mp3 files it was back in the days of "mp3filter" which for those of us unable to access napster was a godsend - gradually you learn that good rippers exist (yay audiograbber !!) and that its possible to participate more fully in the p2p community and for my money limewire has always been an 'honourable player' in the educative process (I do so hope the 'skimming' accusations are groundless)

dumping on limewire strikes me as cheap shots at easy targets by the lazy and impatient

Cool I've had no problems

Dude upgrade your computer or get a Mac.
This free program is the ****. I don't have to jump through all kinds of hoop like I did when I first got on IRC.
Now, all I do is put in the artist and....boom....200 jams for the hell of it.
You ever think it's not the program or the puter....maybe it's the cpu at the keyboard!

I have to agree with Unreg on one thing:thats requery sent waiting is the most annoying thing ive ever come across. Otherwise It's great. I can't find the KH theme Simple And Clean anywhere but LimeWire! One other thing thats just strange is that when I click connect under file,if Im at the search page,it will disconnect before I can do anything I might be on grass but I think its LimeWire^^'

Errr.... where do I start....

Ok. This thread has become something useless, and may be breaking some forum rules. All this "Limewire-sucks-'cause-it-just-does" posts are completely out of place here. Say something constructive or don't say anything at all. I think you have all misunderstood this Open Discussion thing. I don't want to start editing all your posts. Just re-read them and see what I mean. Even the very title of this thread proves what I'm saying.

agree completely - this thread is getting (got) silly - limewire IS a good p2p client and limewire ultrapeers are appreciated by folks using other clients such as shareaza

I've offered my share of criticisms (pleeeeese give up on the requery message - its just so annoying and misleading) but hey - lets get real - there's not many good gnutella options and LW is unquestionably one of the best

just lately this forum seems to have attracted a disproportionate share of disgruntled (but vocal) users that maybe says something about the latest version (that I tried and then deleted in favour of the preceding version) but even so its hard to not get a tad irked - it all smacks of "I want it all and I want it now"
